Problems with rendering Lens Effect - Glow, from one training from DT!!

[henriqueam]

Hello, I´m having some troubles to render the final image teached on the MATERIAL CREATION WORKFLOWS IN 3DS MAX, more specifically in the lesson ADDING GLOW TO THE SCENE.

After I set my lens effect - glow, when I render it, it gives me the following error messages:

" MSG 0.0 error: "Lens Effects" effect expected unsupported GBuffer channel "transparency"
MSG 0.0 error: bitmap expected unsupported GBuffer channel "transparency"
MSG 0.0 error: "Lens Effects" effect expected unsupported GBuffer channel "transparency"

".

Does anyone have any suggestion to where my problem is?!

Thank you,

Hi,
I am getting the same problem.

Did you find any solution to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Hi guys! That's actually a normal error as the glow lens effect wasn't designed to work with mental ray. Here's a quick video on how you can disable that error. Hope it helps!

Here's a link to the Material Creation Workflows in 3ds Max course that was referenced in the video.

I had this same error and I'm wondering is it "safe" to use this effect with mental ray? Just disabling the warning message seems to be a little curious way to solve this in my opinion.
