Disable Plugins for Max (Native Plugins)
Howdy to all, I'm simple country boy, so me and my daddy would like to ask ye' all how can I disable me some plugins in 3D Studio Max so that it may run faster then a horse looking for the bathroom on a Saturday night after eating too many beans. Many thanks to any partner willing to answer. -
Transferring detail in Maya/3ds Max
Hi! I saw this video about transferring detail to a low polygon model in Maya and I was wondering if anyone would know why I only manage to bake some types of maps but not any of the ones under the "Shader Outputs" tab ? Those only bake as solid black UV islands somehow. Also, is there a way to do all of this in 3ds Max… -
Simple lights/renders in 3DS MAX. Need Guidance!
I have a little low-poly prop scene in 3DS MAX 2013 x64 here I'm just trying to light up decently to take a simple render of. First off, I have only been using lights for renders for a week or two, and I have had minimal success. Here is a screenshot of what I have: I'm using Scanline, with a Target Directional Light… -
Re: Is RTT in Max 2011 broken?
I don't think mental ray is the best rendrerer for any normal map baking in max tbh. The antialiasing is not very good, though you can bake at double res and half size your textures. I don't have any problem baking in max 2011, 32 or 64 bit either. Good luck finding your solution! :D -
Max SubSurface Render to Texture
Morning all. Working on a project and I was wondering if anyone knows of a workaround to Render to Texture Mental Ray Subsurface maps. My models won't be animating so I am trying to render a nice subsurface map for many models. Everything I have tried so far renders black but I wonder if there is some simple map type I… -
Re: Quick and easy Max question
Takes a bit of fiddling to get it to work... if you use the Gradient Ramp map type instead of a bitmap, you'll get a smoother result, but it'll take longer to switch viewport sizes (since Max has to generate a new bitmap from the gradient). 1. Add a Gradient Ramp to the material editor. 2. Set the W Angle to 90 (black end… -
Re: 1st Time Noob Normal/AO bake in max==Epic Fail for half a day of work
Okay. I'll post the dropbox link. Thanks guys for helping me with this. I do have xnormal, but don't want to move into that until I'm comfy doing this stuff in Max. I know its good to learn other platforms, but what if I am looking for work down the road and the companies only bake in Max? Anyhow, the file I shared is the… -
Max Vertex Paint & vert count
I've noticed something odd, if I adjust vertex alpha by hand the vert count stays the same as the number of actual verts but if I use the Vertex Paint modifier to paint the vertex alpha the number is tripled. I don't like the idea of tweaking the alpha of 2,000 vertices by hand. BTW I'm getting the verts from Max's "Map… -
3DS Max FBX exporter update?
Is it possible to update the FBX exporter of 3DS Max? I'm using 2012, and apparently in that version the exporter doesn't like meshes with parts made via symmetry and displays the normal map as inverted on those parts in Substance Designer. I went to Autodesk's page and downloaded/installed the 2015 FBX SDK, hoping maybe… -
How to: Nearest Neighbor filtering in 3DS Max?
Hello polycounters! I'm working on a voxel game, and I can't figure out via Google on how to set the texture filtering in 3DS Max 2014 to nearest neighbor. This is important, because you don't want blurry edges on pixel art and pieces of white seeping through on your opacity maps :) Can anyone help?
