3ds Max Mental Ray Problem with opacity map :(

[Anonymous]

Hi, first time posting.

I've got an issue with my opacity map. As you can see in the image there are these odd squares forming all around the graphic. Please could somebody offer some advice, I've driven myself mad trouble shooting 🙂

Hello @Anonymous and welcome to the community,

Looks like bad compression on that image to me.   Is it a .jpg?  

Try overriding the map gamma to 1 in the map loader or using a different texture format.  (Shown below)  Can you please try that for me?

Best Regards,

Thanks Alfred, it's a png. I managed to solve by simply using a jpg instead 🙂
