TOTEX v3

Moved to github

The project Totex has been moved to gihub so community development is easier

https://github.com/svenfraeys/totex

New Version 3.0

"ToTex" is a render to texture script that gives you the ability to quickly bake multiple textures to a folder. ToTex will start baking all the selected objects with the chose selections and will save it to the specified folder

New features (3.0):

 

- Stability : Bigest issue with ToTex 2.0 was the stability. The ToTex engine is recreated for stronger stability, focussed on high speed expanding.
- Improved User Interface : More compact and focussed on usability
- Auto-Update functionality : Get directly the new features
- New maps in development : xNormal, instant preview and photoshop connection.

 

New features (2.4):

- new improved UI: much more clear design with thumbs
- Element map now works!

New features (2.3):

- Improved UI: a lot more compact design, better overview and more dynamic system
- Expert Mode: press on the *-button at the top, this will show all the maps of totex, you can easily toggle this on and off

New features (2.2):

- Max Merge: Merge a max file when baking, for embedding complex lightscenes, after the bake ToTex go back to your start state
- Render Preset: Override the renderpresets when baking with ToTex, you can choose between three RPS files that you can override to your own render settings.

New features (2.1):

- Preview : with realtime directX shader (Xoliul shader - http://www.laurenscorijn.com/)
- Light Trace Ambient Occlusion
- Gradient Map
- Mask Map
- For Each Material ID
- Selection Bake : Bake only the selected faces

Material ID Masks was partly based on a script of Koen Samyn, it's been optimized for faster and better rendering with ToTex.

Enjoy

Does not work on max 2015

Hello

I just installed it on my max 2015 and it did a full reset on my interface. Lucky me i did save them, so i could load it back to my settings, but its certainly something you should fix.
Running it crashed my max, i tried it with several different files.
Then the uninstall doesnt work. It gave me the message that it was completelly uninstalled but i had to remove some files manually

Overall, i can't recommend this plugin for use on max 2015

Getting flat normals

Hi! I also have some problems with the tool. When using max own render to texture feature I get a good normal map but when I use your tool for it, my renders comes out flat. Even though everything is setup correctly and in the same manner as when using max's own tool.
Max 2013 x64.

I posted a pic of it. then once i X out all of those i click on the UI and the window pops up ok, all the buttons work, but the render always comes out with a black map, nothing on it. Is the error causing this? or am i missing something

Never tested it with final

Never tested it with final render so I can not give you an answer in how ToTex reacts on it. It stays mainly based for scanline render. Once I start restart development I ll check it out :)

Is this compatible with final

Is this compatible with final render 3.5 SE ?
I only ask because I'm getting strange results when using it, artifacts, bad uvw flattening, etc.
Just trying to narrow down the possibilities.

thx
