Hmm - I think I found the problem. It turns out that the displacement outputted by ZBRUSH also bakes the current bump map into the displacement map it outputs... so when I was exporting the bump from ZBRUSH and applying it again ontop of ht edisplaced map in MAX - something was going wonky and giving me these results. All…
I suspect you want to see a heat map of distortion on the UVs. in viewport. Max has something, mostly useless in imo, as a substitute called show edge distortion or something.
I am about to pull my hair out over this. AS you can see The booleans worked fine for the first 3 cut outs but when I try and do the last one it deletes the majority of the mesh! I tryed to figure out if there was anything wrong with with the verts and what not to figure out what would cause it to act like that but to no…
I know this is a really simple problem to fix/avoid but I'm not a really experienced modeler. Hopefully one of you can tell me how to fix it. Whenever I UV a model and go back to editablePoly it seems to reset the UV map. Returning to UnwrapUVW acts as if I've just put the modifier on the model. I'm looking for a way to…
Hey guys I'm currently building a model and upon splitting up my head so that I can uv them I noticed that there was a face that stretched out into the distance which I can't delete or select. I'm using Max9 and I'm really stumped on this problem. I'm also a newbie to 3d so I might have done something really wrong which…
As title says, Im baking out a diffuse (from vertexpaint) and a basic AO with Scanline/Skylight. All fine and dandy with that, however it completely ignores whatever Edge-Padding I put in. I'm not using Projection. Anyone else had this problem before? I've baked countless maps before and never come across this. Thanks in…
I can't seem to find the link to the IRC chanel due to updates so I'll state my minor porblem here: I have a model that needs two maps but I need it in one mesh. This has never been a problem because I've just avoided it by detaching polygons into a different mesh. I also want to color to be more organized. I have a…
Guys i just got my laptop with win 8 and i get noticeable lag in max viewport. Im am sure its win8 issue because my laptop is a 3k$ mosnter asus g750jz. If anyone knows what causes that issue please share. I have the feeling its caused by aero made internal part of interface and im looking for a way to kill the bastard. If…
