joske Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 same file, same render, setup was done in max 6 Mray and workes fine... openend in Max 7 no changes and no photons to see for miles ?! I know M7 Mray is handeling photons casting in a different matter dan M6, but I can't seem to find how to solve this one... anyone has come up with a solution in a simular scene ?

abicalho Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Photons in R7 are physically based, unless you change them not to be. Make sure your decay is correct, as well as your system units. Alexander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joske Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 as far as i know the scale and system units is fine... otherwise they would not work out in M6 either decay from spotlight is ok in max 6 why should it change in M7 ? but i will check if opening the file in M7 does not change the scale : if you check/uncheck the 'respect units in drawing' that could happen...

joske Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 just checked, units are fine and stay the same on opening, so that's not the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abicalho Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 It's not the decay in the spotlight, but the decay in the global settings for GI. Are your lights set to use Global Photon parameters or local? They usually are global, and this means you have to setup the parameters in the render scene dialog, not in the lights.

joske Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 global paramenters are used decay in global is no help ... 1,5 or 2 makes no diff. and again that is set up to work fine in M6, so I don't see why that would suddenly change in M7 ?
