Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 |  How to do glow in this case ?? I tried every thing but I did not make it work. I use 3D Studio MAX and I tried some tutorial I find but I always give just the first glow as you can see on the attachment. The first lamp glass has the same material as I applied on the folowing 3 lamp glasses. Same ID, same Lens Effect,... The 4º lamp glass has another material with his own Lens Effect but I didn't get too the glow... I'm missing something for good. Any help will be welcome in this one.. Thanks.. |

Then in the glow settings (video post or effects tab) set the glow effect to work on the ID that you set for the material. All objects/faces with the material applied will now glow |

Downloads: 2 Uploads: 0   | Also please TURN ON SHADOWS  Anyway as already said you can assign meterial IDs and object IDs on glows. But ive not used the max glow effects for a long time... I do it all in after effects now. Also be aware if theres a transparant object in front of the object you want to glow. Max wont apply the glow. |

Downloads: 0 Uploads: 0 | The clue !!! spudmonkey give me the clue... If what I did is actually correct something else is the problem... And I remember one thing. If I export the object as .3DS and open it on POSER, Instance copies disappear. Well, I made the lamps as Instance copies. And I'm changing, now, all Instances copies by normal copies for this reason but I didn't, until now, render with them using Effects. The instance is not working well. AFTER I did everything go as expected.. Thanks everyone, it was just a bug on 3D Studio MAX 2008.  |
