Rendering and Grabviewport question

Dismembered · Aug 2011

So I am having issues rendering my HP in Scanline:
-I am using Max 2012 (I made sure to get all the hotfixes, service packs, and updated my drivers)
-I am using this exact setup for all three screenshots I have posted

I am trying to figure out why none of my detail is showing up in my renders and the shadows seem to hide everything.

This image is a render using the above specs: (Please ignore the fact that not all the splines are rendering forgot to tick them on

)

This image is a ScreenGrab using this script: (I think I figured out that this is a conflict with nitrous, although I am not sure)

This is a straight screen grab using Alt + Prnt Scn using realistic view: (This is closest to what I am trying to achieve)

Think this might have to do with the gamma correction in 3ds max 2012, it would be nice if any one could confirm this.

You can turn it off here: Customize->Preferences->Gamma and LUT->Enable Gamma/LUT Correction

Try that

I appreciate the help everyone -

@perna - I acutally wasn't using any supersampler

@Stromberg - Thanks that seemed to have worked. For both the ScreenGrab and the renders. I don't understand the technicalities but it worked.

I have run across another issue that, idk if anyone uses the capture viewport script I posted, but, I can only seem to capture in one resolution(1228x646). Anyone encountered this?

You could try this script:

The link to the script I posted is an updated version of that one. I was using that one until I found it had been updated.

i'm pretty sure it's got something to do with gamma and LUT settings.
