buying max 6?
I'm currently in a competition called dare to be digital, where 8 teams compete over 9 weeks to create a game. We're lumbered with max 5 at the moment, and numerous bugs and improvements in later max versions are making us long for an upgrade. Unfortunately the version of renderware we are using isn't compatible with max… -
xNormal - normal map baking - distortion
Hello. I have problem with baking normal map in xNormal. I created model in 3ds max, then i exported low poly, high poly and cage. High poly have attached "stars".Then i import objects into xNormal and bake. Now i have problem, because normal map is distortioned. It's just test, because i have always problem with baking. I… -
Re: Lightmaps in max viewport?
I tried maya years ago and enjoyed it.. But currently don't have the time to learn a new package or the budget right now. Can't use windows only as I am running some other stuff in oscar that I need. Guess I'll have to find another way.. How about rendering with light maps, any tutorials on that? Never had to do light maps… -
max "element" selection cache
I've come across a strange issue with elements on meshes..... I was playing around with my own face detach routine as you do :) It all works fine and as expected but it seems max has "pre-cached" the faces that make up each element for the purposes of speeding up subobject element selection so after the detach when you use… -
Converting to editable poly turns out strange after importing from roadkill (in max)
Sorry for the weird topic title but I couldn't find any better way to describe it (which may be the cause I didn't find anyone with the same problem before). So it is my first time at a 3D character and I've unwrapped it in roadkill but when I import it back in max it imports as an editable mesh. (also it is scaled down A… -
Getting used to Max from Maya
I've returned to using 3DS max after having switched, exclusively to Maya for a long time. Last time I used Max was something like version 3.0 and I don't know it anywhere near as well as Maya. I'm trying to get into some good workflow habits early on so I don't do everything the slow way for too long. * One thing I find… -
Max's 'silent' and 'minimized' mode is neither silent nor minimized?
So I've been working on this tool that allows a user to run maxscript files in succession on a selection of .max files, through the use of the command line interface that max offers. Now obviously I want to run max in the background, so i'm using the following statement: 3dsmax.exe -q -silent -mip -u MAXScript… -
MAX. Need help with UVs. Noob.
Greetings, So, I have sword, made a picture for you to see the topology in case it makes a difference. The polygons that represent the edges of the blade and all the triangles you can see in the picture are not planar to the z axis. I did planar z axis UV projection to all the polygons except for those which are parallel… -
[Max vs Maya] Object aligning and Placements features comparison
Both of these software seems to have a decent set of features for aligning objects together and placing objects on other objects. But what are both similarities and differences between them ? I dont use aligning too much so I recently went in more depth and test some out and I was not little surprised to see Maya can not… -
Re: Norms Issues in 3Ds max 2012
The region you have marked in the normal map looks a little different than the other parts, I mean more "leveled". Is that just my impression or did you change something there? I do not really know much about it, but I remember there was once a problem with the gamma in 3ds max and normal maps. Try this (see image).
