When you render to texture or "bake" a texture, you choose one or more elements to render. These elements save aspects of the rendered scene: its geometry, lighting, shadows, and so on. Some texture elements can display in shaded viewports; others require a DirectX viewport shader on page 5393 to view in 3ds Max. When you add an element to render, it appears in a list in the Objects To Bake on page 6401 rollout. In the list, you can disable or enable rendering of that individual map, or select it to adjust which components it will include. NOTE Automatically generated reflections and refractions do not work well with rendered textures, although they are included in the Complete and Blend texture maps. The available element maps are described in the sections that follow. Limitations of Composite and Blend Materials If the object has a Composite or Blend material applied to it, only certain elements render correctly. Which elements render correctly depend on the renderer you are using. 6376 | Chapter 20 Rendering
