Hi everyone
this exactly is not a max question but it does involve creating matte elements in 3dsmax so i am posting this here.
we are working on a kitchen and dining area render project which has to go on web . once its there a viewer should be able to change colors of things like cabinets, chair, counter top etc with a color or material picker on the webpage with help of a color mixer or color swatches on the screen. now that customisation thing will be created by the web developer using blend modes etc which is not part of our domain as 3d artist.
but what he wants from us is that we give him masks like cabinet areas. sofa fabric area, flooring etc. we know how to create those masks by using multimatte or wirecolor render elements but he doesnt want those in image format. he wants the edges and masks colors in svg format so that he can use those svg files in what he calls CSS blending modes.he wants those masks in svg formats.
the time consuming method to do this will be to trace out edges of mask in adobe illustrator but we are looking for a faster way to do this because we already have multimattes from max.we can use vray or corona both to create those mattes.
can anyone help with this?
has anyone done this kind of thing before? is there any other way of doing this color customisation of products for webpages? any other software?
