• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

3dsmax render problem with new building

Hi,
I've got a problem with the new building in my project KLIA2.
I start making new terminal building with a new texture when I render, the new building became dull, gray not the same as the old building that I just made. I use the same texture by copy the material and change the name and change the texture sheet. There is no other object that obstruct the sky light. I render it with Daylight and default Scanline render. When I try the new building with the old material, It become bright as it should. But when I used the new texture, it become dull as the picture below. What could be the source of this problem. I have checked every setting and both materials are the same. The specular power is the same in both material.

This is before render.

This is after I render with Daylight and Radiosity.

Hi, Tic

Are you sure there are no other lights in the scene?

Check the multiplier as well, I use 1.2 on that. Are you using the skylight?
 
I use Daylight, the last tab on Max on the right panel "System" and the last button on the list "Daylight". I don't think it is the problem of light setting since the old building is there and it is correctly rendered.

I see, I looked into this and my problem is the opposite, everything is pure white unless a shadow has been drawn on.

Do you have a self-illumination texture applied?
 
it's curious that the left building in the second rendering are rendered the same that in the first redering. must be a material problem
 
Tejal Bernardo, you are right about the material problem. I have put out the self illuminated texture and it is fine. When I put it back, the problem is the same. Even I use Ambient Texture in the scene.
 
Not just rendering purpose but for exporting too. When I want to export I'll simply put it back.
 
If you are doing ambient occlusion maps you will get a much darker shadow if your environment color is black. if you make the environment background pure white you will get a much better render for the AO map.
