[3ds max]Model prelighting

Hi, I want to show you how you can make colorfull model, like this:

 

 

So .. first, you must have a model.

Once you have a model, go to Modifier List -> Vertex Paint

 

Set the Channel to "Vertex Color" (look the image)

Then go to Tools - Assign Vertex Colors, select "Vertex Color" from Channel

and then press Assign to selected (your model must be selected)

So, this is for Day Vertex Colors.

 

--------------------------------

 

Now, for NVC, go to Modifier List -> Vertex Paint again and this time select 'Vertex Illum'

from Channel. Select the brush and choose a color. You can change the opacity and the size of the brush.

If you're ready, this time DO NOT open 'Assign Vertex Colors', just go to KAM's or DENISka's max

scripts and export.

 

Note: If you use Kam's Max Scripts, turn off the MMC and NOR (the yellow buttons), just select UV and VCol.

 

I hope you understand it

 

Sorry for my EN

No worries, keep the tuts coming, and more baked goods will be coming your way.

Thank you, i got it now. The vertex color modifier in my german 3dmax7 is called "Scheitelpunkt uebertragen"

Really great job

Great and simple tut ;D As i remember, the night vertex colors (Vert. Illumination) are implemented to SA not VC, in Vc there are only simple "All time"Vertex Colors am i correct?

Nice tut, I'm gonna test this

 

Edit: Nice, it works. I tried with Kam's script with UV and Vcol selected buttons only and it didn't exported nvc, but deniska's did.

I tried it last night, and my model was super bright in game. :S

Do you converted it to editable mesh, when you made the Day Vertex Colors?

You don't need to convert it when you add NVC (Illumination-Illum)

[jtr007]

Dam, no i didnt convert to editable mesh.

 

Cheers.

 

Ps. You should make a quick video tut,
