Glowing Objects in 3DS Max Tutorial

[@regard10010]

Go to the main menu and choose: Rendering > Render Setup > Renderer tab > Sampling Quality > Frame Buffer Type. From the Frame Buffer Type drop down, choose: Integer (16 bits per channel). You should now be able to render Lens Effects Glows in Mental Ray mode.

[@arch-arch1076]

Thanks, was looking for that due to error dialog.

[@FatherLicorice]

Thanks for the tutorials. I'm glad that these vids are laid back and funny - it actually helps me retain the instruction and information. It is probably impossible for anyone to watch these videos and not learn from them or be entertained in the process. (Especially after comparing these to other tutorial alternatives on youtube) Thanks again for the lessons. They are pretty rad.

[@aaronmcguigan2224]

You have no clue how much this has saved me

[@nyctoberri1788]

Nice tutorial! Easy to follow along :) That cancel noise though when you said "NO" scared the hell out of me, wearing headphones with 85% volume xD

[@pmgrnd]

Wow. You teach very well man. Most tutorial makers cant even talk, but you are really good.

[@jan_mikes_hidden_stories777]

The humor goes well with explaining further on the procedures. Thanks a lot man, you're a life saver. 😁🙋‍♂

I laughed my ass off, the funniest tutorial guy on the internet. Man...I want professors to teach like you :))

[@BionicDance]

I'm getting two problems with this: 1 - I can't seem to get the glow to be the right size _and_ the right brightness. If I adjust one, it seems to affect the other; if I crank the brightness, it increases the size of the glow instead of just making the glow brighter. But if I change the spread, it'll either make the brightness of the glow greater or less depending on which way I adjust it. There seems to be no way of telling it to make the glow be a certain brightness without also changing the size. I need the glow to basically stay within a certain volume relative to the object _and_ be a certain brightness. 2 - The distance from the camera affects the size of the glow in all the wrong ways. Is there a way in MAX to basically get a glow that stays within _exactly_ the same volume relative to the object? Like the way a lightsaber blade would.

[@IlseZamarripa]

Hahaha, I had never laughed watching 3D tutorial!! RESPECT

[@oreiusenderson8861]

I love how every time a keyboard shortcut is used, you hear this huge SLAM and a new window pops up.

[@nicolasmoreau74]

every time i try the glowing effect that way, i get that error "the following render effects are not compatible with the bitmap format selected for rendering. The selected format is: 32 bits per channel floating-point (RGBA)" what can i do to make it work?

[@Neventual]

Great tutorial. I have one question. When rendering with the mental ray glow, how do I keep the glow tight around the object when it is off in the distance?

[@c4bb4g3]

Thank you so much. I just spent the last hour and a half trying to find out how to do this. The Scanline method didn't work for me, but Mental Ray is what I needed

[@rekless473]

this is awesome but in your first method, how can I change the feather of the glow because when I am using it, the the glow boundary is quite prominent, which looks bad.

[@aysikl]

was playing with lens and glow with mental ray on yday and couldn't understand how a basic thing failed.. seems mental ray is the causer since scanline is fine but then things mess up as mental ray is chosen... kinda wack they're incompatible like this..

[@IntellectualHazard]

I like how on the bottom left it says, "Keep your eyes on the tutorial"

[@lex.virt.svetlo]

Great, but how to make a real nice glow like about 0:20, also at the end of video?

[@ra4ae681]

I can´t change the material id. When I click the button in the slate material editor it doesn´t show any setting.

[@JustAStreamer21]

is there a way to make the glow to follow a path? i am making a 3d model of a amazon Echo and i want to animate a glow for when you say Alexa.

[@b1na276]

I followed every step. even set material id to 3 on both glow effect and material applied to my object. how come i don't see any glow on my renders?

[@FoosResearch]

+Alysa Fajard I had to crank up the parameters.

[@erichbackhus9549]

I'd typically assign the glob to the object ID versus material. Thoughts?

[@erichbackhus9549]

glow*

[@AChannelNuclearrambo]

ah i'm facing a terrible issue here :| I am trying to add glow effect just in the way you did but i'm getting some gbuffer error. Mind you that i'm trying to add a glow effect while i got something transparent in my scene.. Maybe that's the problem?

[@Nancyhikaru]

Hello, im having trouble in time 3.00. where the picture i render is not in wireframe. i already follow all the instruction. the object in the perspective already in wireframe but in rendered result it still in solid one. can you give me solution?

[@shamskabra]

+Nancy Lao no one replied you ? lol, i have the same problem here. Since i am also a noob to 3ds Max but i did try and figure out the problem , you must be having a different renderer in your render setting maybe v-ray ? just change it to default renderer and that should work.

[@Daemon1995_]

any ways to get the lattice edges whole closed

[@laragraham842]

Ha! You made me jump with the alarm, but very helpful through out. Thanks, subscribed!

[@simplysurfing]

Hi.....this works only with the VRay renderer is it ? No options to do this with basic scanline rendering or any inbuilt renderers which come as default with MAX ?

[@aaRept]

Thank you very much for making this video. Very easy to follow and super helpful!

[@ProTutorials]

Thanks! More tutorials coming soon.

[@dracomagnus3681]

This tutorial was really useful, and it worked perfectly the first time I did it. But I've run into a bit of a problem; I added a couple of lights into the scene to illuminate some things that I didn't want to glow. However, now my glowing object appears black in the render. Any idea what's going on? I've tried removing all the lights from the scene, and that didn't help. I'm still kinda new to 3ds, so there's probably something obvious I overlooked. Thanks!

[@kustensteine-howto3632]

Very cool and funny Tutorial! *lol - Just got a question: I got an Image on a plane (with alpha/opacity) and I want to make it glow in the colors of the images. How could I do that?

[@rhyscooper3693]

What did you do in order to get the colours to appear so... neon? I'm not really a fan of the flat "lightsaber" look.

[@ZaeemMughal]

In 3ds Max.I change camera glow effect size also changes with camera. i want to change glow effect W.T size of object not size of camera.

Such a funny guy, laughed out loud jajaja such a good professor, greetings from Costa Rica! loved it and helped me out so fine!

[@runnerres9206]

I thought the blue diamond will remain with only green glowing (material ID 3), isnt that the purpose ?

[@FoosResearch]

+Runner Ho Yes, but we gave it the orange color to the map we dragged into the material shader from the RENDERER options for Camera Shader>Output. Camera Shader>Glow didn't work well with Mental Ray, but the camera shader did fine.

[@FoosResearch]

+Alan Foos Well, no, the orange went to the mental ray material we created.

[@dennisdrost8815]

To get this to work we need to go in to our render settings which is shortcut key F10 SLAM!! Huh still works :-D I laughed my ass off definitely Liked & subscribed keep up the awesome and amazing videos you do.

this 3ds max tutorial was in my face, to the extreme

[@ronniebaga3736]

you just entertained me while learning. thumbs up.

[@MagusTheLofty]

This is why Max annoys me. I followed the tutorial, and nothing happen. Now if I mindlessly screw around with it for an hr, glow will just magically work, and I'll never remember what dumb-luck thing I did to repeat that process...

[@luisman369]

Max is getting full of bugs. I have Max 2015, and everytime I open a file, all the objects are invisible until selecting them from the objects list, which is absurd!

What about import the effect to unity4? Is that possible? i know i'm noob :p please help me T.T

from what I know you can't import post-process effects into Unity but Unity has its own *awesome* glow camera effect which will achieve the same result :-D
