maxwell texturing process? What?

[TRANSPARENT]

I model in max and would like to render in maxwell. I thought the materials transfered on they're own. I cant find a good tutorial on how to make materials in maxwell. Specifically the scaling part. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Thanks.

What version of Maxwell are you using?

Two choices-

 

Use the Maxwell materials in Max (no Standard, Architectural, etc.) with Max's UVW mapping... this worked in beta anyway.

 

Make the materials in Maxwell Studio.

 

Actually, you might try a hybrid technique - use the Maxwell materials in Max and set up your bitmaps, use Max UVW and display the diffuse maps in viewport to check them, then take it into Studio and use the material editor to get "advanced" effects. (I'm assuming that by scaling you mean UVW mapping...)

Thanks for you info. I'm going to try your suggestions. I wish every texturing process was the same. I'm getting tired of having to learn the process for every program. Oh well, if that's what it takes. Thanks again.

The Maxwell textures are really different because, well, Maxwell is really different - the models for shaders that they use are unusual, but best for their render tech. So the process ends up being a lot different from what you do with scanline, mr, Vray, etc. The whole mixing layers idea seems pretty cool though.
