Hello everyone... I recently got hold of max 5 and am in the process of uncovering its cool new tools.. I have been messing around with the Render to Texture tool and was woundering if it was possible to use is to only render out certain elements of my mesh... at the moment it its giving me the full model on a single texture.. and would prefere to work on each material ID seperatly... Thanks in advance Wires

I believe it has that capability, but I''m not certain myself. If no one knows here, there''s some pretty knowledgable people at CGtalk.com

Thanks

Hmmm the CGtalk guys don''t seem to know either..... *sighs* oh well seems like I''ll be spending a few more days grappling with it

Does Max 5 support layer now ?

If it does, that''s what you should use, put each material/mesh in seperate layer, and render it individually.

Sorry you couldn''t find more help...

Monochrome: Yeah, Max 5 uses layers now. Haven''t made use of them myself yet.
