try to look at your firewall.

Activation , and live materials , are not working also.

Same with matte material (or we do something wrong here).

For matte shadows , can someone describe how is it done?

Activation seems is standalone issue.

I will check live materials.

What is wrong with matte material?

- all power in Black Body Emission reset to 100

- no chance to make simple UVW mapping when texture is in distribution slot (texture emission) sometimes work sometimes not

all checked few times

I will check emission issue.
distribution is used to set up directional map lighting only. Like ies.
It doesn't use any uv mapping.

Yes , activation for the standalone , i forgot to mention it

Live db is not working for sure.

Matte material , and matte shadows we cant just get them to work , is there a specific way to do this?
Instructions anywhere?

Thanks Karba , you rock.

Ahm........i allready wrote on 18th of december, on the first site, 6th post, that live DB is not working. No one cared

Maybe you havent seen my post, possible. Hope you can fix it soon!


3 questions for future Karba:

1: Will 3ds plugin ever have offline materials, like c4d version has. (select, right click, make offline)
2: Is it possible to implement Camera Motion Blur in 3ds Plugin, like it is in c4d plugin!
3: will it be possible to connect / sync textures for diffuse/specular/bump/normal map? like ahmet showed in this video:

https://vimeo.com/82779935

He called it refshader and its a way to "sync" all textures for all channels, which is a huge timesaver!

happy new year everybody!

Like camera map too !!!!!
