Re: 3ds max: Symmetry modifier causing Normal map issues (RESOLVED)
Thank you for the replies and suggestions but that solution unfortunately has not solved the problem. I tried moving the uvs over to the other uv island and flipped them horizontally but the weird bug still remains. I had suspected this is not exactly the same problem as mine as I am not overlapping any of my uvs to save… -
Re: uv shells to smoothing groups without textools? also normal map in viewport....
You can manually copy UV shells to smoothing groups: - unwrap window, select island - add edit poly to stack - select element mode - add desired smoothing group (can easily be automated in a maxscript) You can also use max's default built in dx shader mode by holding in the display in viewport button (in the mat editor)… -
Re: Rigging thread, post your problems or solutions
Being somewhat new to Maya, I wanted an automatic FK/ Ik Switch( similiar in how 3dsmaxs' Biped functions) in order to make an easier transition to the new software. With building a basic ik chain, I've gotten it to the point where all I need to do is select the parts in the hierarchy (in a given order of selection) , then… -
Re: Is there an easy button for making bolt holes?
I was asked before and suggested this thread, I did a dirty macro recording and created a script that creates these holes on every selected vert: the size is hardcoded but I want to make it depending on the volume of the vert with its neighboring verts - and say like 0.25 of that volume like a quarter. this is the dirty… -
Re: 3DS Max Gear Rigging with Wire Parameters
it's a bit weird but it goes a little like this... open the paramter wiring dialog from the animation menu select the object you're interested in click the refresh or search button (whichever works) and it'll find it for you in the list. do the same with the other object if you look in the parameter wiring dialog the… -

Re: biped tricks and questions
Holy Cow PIOR, Give a guy a little time. J/K You seem familiar with installing scripts. Look in the MonsterBlues catagory. This script copies the TCB and Ease To/from properties from one key and paste them to as many keys as you want(biped only). To use the script: 1. Select a single biped object and single key. Run the… -
Re: verticles driving me nutts.. help :x
yes sorry, i forgot to mention it. 3ds max 2010. regarding your answer: i have tried to use the "connect" tool for obvious reasons (i wanna connect, what better than using a tool called "connect"). however, it does not seem to work. i have tried selecting only 2 verticles and connecting them, but it doesn't work. i also… -
Re: Creature - modelling problems
I think TSM is referring to extruding edges, this is when you select an edge and then hold the Shift button in 3Ds Max, switch to the move gizmo and then drag the edge out in the desired direction by clicking on it and dragging with your mouse. This is a great way to quickly build your shape, just select an edge then drag… -
Re: [Portfolio] - Ryan R. Walsh \o/
yea man, use hard and soft edges to help define forms, i think its F11 for soft and F12 for hard in wings. to get a quick understanding make a cube and select all edges and press f 11, then go into shaded view, it should look all weirdly shaded like the top of the tank, select all the edges again and hit f12 and boom all…
