Title: [solved] 3DS Max -ERROR: No <instance_effect> element found for the <material>
Post by: LinkTahuterasuSpirit on July 06, 2017, 12:01:22 PM
seems like every time i try to make renders for someone other than Link i run into problems, i am in the middle of making Renders for Samus though when i got to Dark suit when importing the model into 3DS max i get these two errors.   -ERROR: No <instance_effect> element found for the <material> element with ID "Grapple" and -ERROR: No <instance_effect> element found for the <material> element with ID "Booster" this causes there to be no textures for those two objects, when trying to fix it in the material editor they somehow have the material 'Main' which is used for most of Dark suit and i have no idea on how to fix it. does anyone know how to fix it?

I don't know much about Max, but have you tried rendering with Blender?

well i managed to figure it out somehow. what i did was take one of the exiting materials, copied it (twice in my case), gave a copy, and then set up the materials with the proper textures.
