Project Manager : Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is it possible to use one license on more then one computers?
2. Can I get free updates in future?
3. What happened with the license key if i format my hard-drive?
4. If I change computer, can I get a new license?
5. Is it possible to open the selected max-file but not merge? If I use ‘open in default aplication’ 3dsmax starts a new instance, thats not what I need!
6. It was wonderful if it possible in future update to include an “export list of missing maps” in the asset files?
7. How I can save the Material to the Material Library?
8. Is it possible to replace materials with Project Manager?
9. What’s the difference between the demo and the full version of PROJECT MANAGER?
10. I have some weird issues with the “Thumbnails Render Tool”. When I try to render with your Vray preset it doesn`t work, it renders only with scanline or renders all in black, when I tell him to use scene renderer. What does the button “Link” in the thumbnail render settings mean? GI is ignored also…

Question: Is it possible to open the selected max-file but not merge? If I use ‘open in default aplication’ 3dsmax starts a new instance, thats not what I need!

Answer:

1)Double-click on file and press the button ”Yes” for open file in the current instance of 3ds max.

2)You can open file by drag it into viewport with pressed Shift-key.

Question: It was wonderful if it possible in future update to include an “export list of missing maps” in the asset files?

Answer:

It’s option always present in Project Manager and FilePathFinder PRO
Menu Tools >> Make Summary Report

Question: What’s the difference between the demo and the full version of PROJECT MANAGER?

Answer:

Demo version allows to work only with limited number of files in folder. (non-strikeout)

Question: I have some weird issues with the “Thumbnails Render Tool”. When I try to render with your Vray preset it doesn`t work, it renders only with scanline or renders all in black, when I tell him to use scene renderer. What does the button “Link” in the thumbnail render settings mean? GI is ignored also…

Answer:

This means that the scenes that you render was created using a demo version of Vray, and get off at the opening in the licensed version,
It could also mean that these scenes are not properly configured.
You can create custom render preset and add them to list render presets.

Is there a way in which the “Generate Mapping Coordinates” would be switch on automatically when you create objects, splines, modifications, Extrude, Sweep and etc.?

For example on VrayMtl:

global dmat
fn defaultmat=(
(
mybitmap=“Path to your bitmap file”
mytexmap=BitmapTexture filename:mybitmap filtering:1
dmat=VRayMtl Name:”White” Diffuse:(color 210 210 210) reflection_subdivs:16 reflection_fresnel:on texmap_bump:mytexmap effectsChannel:8
showTextureMap dmat mytexmap true
)
)
calbScr=”if objects.count!=0 then (newNode=objects[objects.count]\n”
calbScr+=”dmat=sceneMaterials[\"White\"]\n”
calbScr+=”if (newNode.material==undefined) do (\n”
calbScr+=”if dmat==undefined or (classof dmat != VRayMtl) do (defaultmat())\n”
calbScr+=”newNode.material=dmat\n))\n”

callbacks.addScript #filePostOpen “dmat=sceneMaterials[\"White\"];if dmat==undefined do defaultmat()” id:#VGCreate
callbacks.addScript #sceneNodeAdded calbScr id:#VGCreate

Place text in Notepad with extension “ms” and save to directory scripts\startup

m.texmap_displacement_on = off

m.reflection_subdivs = 20
m.refraction_subdivs = 20

m.reflection_maxDepth = 10
m.refraction_maxDepth = 10

m.reflection_useInterpolation = off
m.refraction_useInterpolation = off

)–end

Для того чтобы узнать все свойства материала Vray используйте команду
show (VrayMtl()) или getPropNames VrayMtl

To learn all the material properties Vray use the command
show (VrayMtl ()) or getPropNames VrayMtl
