3D Studio Max
4000 x 4000 wont load
-
04 Aug 2008I recently aquired
some very detailed (4000 x 4000) poser textures and have already set up the uvw's on a few of my models the same as posers v4 model.
however when I try and load the maps into material editor in Max9 I start getting memory errors and memory I/O errors.
My question is how can a piece of porn in a box software like poser handle absolutely massive textures while max chokes on them.
I've tuned on bitmap paging and resaved the maps in different file formats but max still hates them
All I can find on the net is that I should upgrade to 64bit but I dont think thats not good enough.
I even tried the "3 gig switch" and it still wont have them.
What I want is to do away with all my maps and have one 1600 x 1600 monster that will handle any scene I throw at it
.
Maybe I'm just as old as my PC

04 Aug 2008Well, I've gone up to 3k in the past without huge problems...also, saving as a different format won't help it, since it has to load it pixel-by-pixel into memory (so compression is irrelevant).
Not sure how you could fix it...you running an older pc? -
05 Aug 20084k is really big, you might have an easier time downsizing a bit until it works, then you would trying to troubleshoot your hardware issues. 2cents.

05 Aug 2008haha I tried this too........poser has some of the best uv texturing on the market. Have you tried poser fushion? Try loading your model in max without textures as an OBJ. and use the eye drop in max mat lab to locate the suboject teture.
good luck dude -
05 Aug 2008Hey man, I am willing to bet that you are just simply running out of memory, try and convert the maps to 1k, and if that works, then try 2k, and 3k, and so on. I have been rendered some stuff out of max here and there with 4k textures no prob, and up to 16k in maya here and there... So yeah, it's got to be something to do with your hardware. what are your specs at?

06 Aug 2008Hmmm, I palyed around with the size of the textures and seem to get away with 2k for diffuse and 4k for bump and specular (once coverted to grayscale)
Gonna upgrade to 64 bit in the future and hope to get the diffuse map up to 4k aswell -
21 Aug 2008yeah My pc is gettiting old and max 9 and above i think the software really needs 64 bit. Fume Fx your lost these days without 64.
good luck -
mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts22 Aug 2008problem is microsoft isnt focusing enough on 64bit, if you wanna go pro with all this high usage stuff (particles) go for boxx or apexx -
17 Oct 2008It may sound silly but max has a problem with loading huge jpeg-s. Just try to putt them in psd, png, tiff, targa...

17 Oct 2008i had with 64 bit max and 4k textures no problems at all. tga and bmp they were.
