FStormRender for 3ds Max v1.1.4b (updated 11/02/2017)

Hi Karba, thanks for your awesome work churning out updates like crazy.

One question: Is it possible to make the shadow catcher (matte) pick up the color of the ambient light to create proper shadow integration? See also this posting: http://jeffpatton.net/basic-composit...w-comparisons/

I have to check how it works in other renders. FStorm shadow catcher doesn't apply any colors for shadows. Basically shadows are just alpha mask.

Well, if I create a grey material without matte, it is colored blue in the shadows. As soon as I tick the matte option, the blue shadow disappears and it's just grey. I think other renderers just put the alpha mask on top of the rendered material?

See my attachments as to what happens.

Tile is a complex map and not very universal map. It is not worth it to implement on GPU.

Damn! Tiles is sooooo good for architecture
