Material appearance changes after converting to oFusion

Hello,

I've done the oFusion lightmapping tutorial, with the adobe house, and it worked out well.

My next task is to get that kind of lightmapping working within a normal mapped material, one similar to the material in the tutorial with the torus. The torus material is an oFusion material, while the adobe house material is a Max material. Therefor it seems I need to get the type of lightmapping I see on the adobe house into an oFusion material.

To figure out how I might do this, I thought I'd convert the ground in the adobe house tutorial into an oFusion material. I did so, and then hit "evaluate." This was the result:



As you can see, the ground turned darker after the material was converted into an oFusion material. Can anyone suggest why this happened?

Thanks much.

Possible answer to my own question: It appears that the oFusion material is affected by the ambient light value found under oFusion>scene, while the Max material isn't affected by the ambient. Instead, the Max material is rendered full-bright. So converting it to an oFusion material makes it subject to the effect of the oFusion scene's ambient light, and thus darker.

If the self ilumination in max was set to 100% when evaluatin the Emisive value of the material will be 50%, turn the Emisive value to 100% and you´ll have a fully bright ground.


There si a script that is supossed to turn all the emissives to 100% (white) but for me did never workt.
