"Aha - thanks Jim. It's too bad because the mask passes and shadow passes seem to work very well, but the reflection pass is generally the single most useful and is kaput. I still can't quite believe that it's a core Brazil…"

2 Replies

Best way to bundle a .3dm file with materials and textures?
2 Replies
Hi,I know materials are saved with the Rhino file, but textures (specifically, external bitmaps) are not, so far as I can tell. Is there any way to export the complete bundle from inside Rhino,…Continue

jim.carruthers replied to George Showman's discussion Reflection and Refraction in Render Passes not working"I think if you've perused the Brazil for Max forum it would appear the render passes feature has simply never worked very well."
George Showman replied to George Showman's discussion Reflection and Refraction in Render Passes not working"Does nobody else have this problem? It really seems to me that this chunk of functionality (reflection and refraction passes) is simply not working at all at the moment."
George Showman replied to George Showman's discussion Best way to bundle a .3dm file with materials and textures?"Great, thank you Janne! Exactly what I was looking for.
I realize now that another nice feature of 3D Max that I'm missing in Rhino is the ability to import materials from other .3dm files -- i.e. from inside the material editor, to…"
Janne Räty replied to George Showman's discussion Best way to bundle a .3dm file with materials and textures?"Hi,
Document Properties

and click Save support files etc. + Include textures etc. on.
Works well with Brazil.

George Showman replied to George Showman's discussion Reflection and Refraction in Render Passes not working"I have the same problem in Rhino 5 for 32-bit windows, alas. Though I am downloading a slightly newer Rhino 5 build now."
George Showman replied to Vicente Soler's discussion Refraction not working properly."Hi Andrew,
This was a useful thread! I just ran across this IOR - alpha problem in the glass material also. Is there no way for refraction, even with IOR, to affect the alpha channel also? So that any exposed background/infinity in…"

Hi,Occasionally when I start Rhino I get a message saying the Brazil Beta will expire in March 2012. What will happen at that point? Will there be a new beta (and thus an extension), at the very least? I just don't want to be caught by surprise.Thanks, GeorgeSee More
George Showman replied to jim.carruthers's discussion Improving compositing"Hmmm... four thoughts:
- shadow from skylight overhead (as I mentioned above)
- the way the background is wrapping - I think you need to wrap on a sphere, maybe it's your environment settings? Try the GI environment if you aren't…"
George Showman replied to jim.carruthers's discussion Improving compositing"Very nice! Good model. Looks like the shadow worked well."
George Showman replied to jim.carruthers's discussion Improving compositing"Ah, I see - thanks for the clarification! I think I invented a new feature there (the Shadow Map thing) -- I was thinking of the 'Projection' feature on a light. Anyway the way you did it is clearly the right way.
