Hi, Just started learning 3ds Max. Quick question. I deleted some edges and didn't realize that I had to hold control while removing them to get rid of the vertices also. How do I clean up the mesh? Screw going in and deleting a load of vertices individually... Also: I need to know how to do this without scripts thanks.
Is there any way to align vertices in splines? I can't find any sort of align tool anywhere. I just need the basic stuff, select a bunch of vertices and align them on a certain axis. Right now the only way I can think of doing this is copying the coordinate for a certain vertex and paste in on others but there's gotta be a…
Yes it does increase the vertex count, because each vertex normal requires its own vertex to store the data, same with UV splits. So when you make hard edges you are duplicating vertices. But it’s not that big a deal these days; hardware can handle a lot of vertices.
Remember when Max used to allow you to weld vertices that were on top of one another? So if you had a mirror part, you could weld the mirrors vertices on top of the otherside versus just having the vertices in the same place. Why you ask? Because when I drag things around or use the packing ability in max, it just makes…
