I have installed Extension for 3D max 2014 (154mb file) and it works as far as loading point cloud to max but it's not rendering .
The only tabs I see for point cloud objects are "name and color" "pointcloud source" "display" and limitbox volume" and there are no tabs for render setting.
I have switch my renderer to mental ray and still no render.
I can only see them in viewport. The videos I looked on youtube show that there's a tab for mental ray rendering setting But I don't have that,
Ar ethere different version of extension out there?
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
make sure your renderer is set to mental ray
check your level of detail settings. may be rendering too low a % of the points. refer to the help page for point cloud object parameters.
If you had read my post you would see that I have already set the renderer to mental ray and in point cloud parameter for point cloud object I do not have the tab for render settings.
i edited the post. try the level of detail settings under the Display rollout of the point cloud object parameters
First of all, you can try to rename max setting folder
1. exit 3ds max
2.rename this folder
Windows 7 C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\<version>
Windows XP C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsMax\<version>
3.lunch max and try it again
If it don't work, send me the point cloud file, I can test for you.
Same issue, no point cloud at rendering, with mental ray. Nothing in 3ds Max help on internet about rendering.
