I have tried this before but I cannot get the back ground to show properly.
I have 2017 3 d max, I am using the 3 d auto render scene. I have entered the back ground scene through the viewpoint configuration, and it shows I am following the same procedures as I have in 3 dmax 9 brazil.
The image is showing and rendering just not the right size.
How do I resize it correctly? Do I assign it to a map spear?

Here is the render results

Ok not what Im trying to do. This is what Im trying to get as finished results

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Bergie

I don't know Bergie, been wondering about this myself.

The original scene is in a bowl maybe?

Highbank · Jan 14, 2018

That'll be a great scene once you get it worked out

Bergie · Jan 14, 2018

Yes it is a bowl I unclicked the bowl. do I assign it to the bowl? Humm
thinking out loud here>LOl well it is showing and rendering render is clear and looks good just cant get the size right, I have tried tuturiols videos, I have been adjusting the coordinate's in the material editor , not changing much so I went and resized the image, that's not it. It has to be something I am over looking.
Keep at it!
The 88 car image is a done in 3 d max 9, that works just fine but would like to get it working in 2017

I believe you'll have to add a vertical plane and add the image to that to make it work, I don't think you can add an image to a bowl surface and get what you're looking for

Listen to me talking like I know what i'm doing in Max! LOL

Hey Bergie, I got the student version of max 2018 yesterday, courtesy of my daughter-in-law who is in college, did you manage to get mental ray loaded, I can't seem to get it to show up, it's listed in the plug-in manager, says it's loaded, but it don't show as one of the render engines you can choose. Any ideas?

You need to use a backplate and a (cameramapperpixel material), not a bowl. You also need to use a camera and the daylight system for best results. It is more complex than it looks, but still not to hard to set up.

What error are you getting Tom?

Bergie · Jan 19, 2018

Thank you Rouge! Tom I did find something . When I added the back ground to a spear I clicked on something I need to find out what and it made it a flat not a spear and it worked, but that was a number of nights ago and it was very late. And I needed some sleep. So I have yet to get back to it.

But like Rogue said there is no shadows so the car looks like it's floating
