Hi, the max reset is not the

Hi, the max reset is not the error, but actually programed. it required because the program modifies the current scene and all the render setting, thats why it prompt you to save your scene before it start, you always have your working scene saved which my program is never going to touch.

Note: this program is writen for the people who do still renderings in high resolution, it is not programmed for an animator,thats why it conforms the resolution.

we never use object and wirecolor pass as they lack sampling quality and antialiasing, also they will never give us mask for reflected and reracted objects which is the key feature of my program.

Please see video demo on my site for details.

i did not received error

i did not received error messages but after using your script, max resets scene ->

Your Script generates the correct renderer (with different colors etc.) but after a second, it automatically resets my complete Scene -> Scene Lost.

Tested @ max 2009 + 2010 x64. Same Error on both max version.

Before the scripts run for the task, it always gives me a notice (the rendersize is less than "..."), continue?)

After pressing ok, max asks me, if I want to save the scene. I press no and it begins with render process. After finished, Max closes complete the scene and starts blank.

A question: Where is the difference between using this script and rendering a Objectcolor/Wirecolor pass? Both have the same result (+ your script does not work/gives not psd output atm)

Yes it is same in many

Yes it is same in many aspects, but the most unique thing about it is the ability to consider glass and mirror objects (fully reflected or refracted surfaces) in your masks. also it gives you them as a jpg files each contenting RGBCMY channels. I dont think PSD manager gives you this ability.

you dont need to have all masks in your PSD file. just look in to jpg's and select what you really want to tweak.

So this is more or less like

So this is more or less like the PSD Manager from Cebas?¿

I think it can be very useful, i will give it a try!!

Hi Fajar, Thanks for trying

Hi Fajar,

Thanks for trying it out. that means it works with max 9 too.
right now in this beta setup I havn't given the PSD support files, thats why it does not create PSD's. soon I will give it with ver 01.

Thanks
