At work some of of guys will make a mesh in max, export it as a Wavefront obj... then take that obj into Zbrush, then export the 300,000 poly object back as an obj for importing into max. Then in 3dsmax we want to import that obj. Problem is... Max can take 40 mins -> 2 hrs. to finally load in the high res mesh. MAx seams…
I've been asked to complete an art test for a job opening. The scene needs to be created in a real time shader in 3dsmax and with rain effects. I know how to name animated gif files in photoshop, but it seems max only accepts mov. files for animated textures. So can anybody help me out? How do I go about adding in rain…
Hello guys i recently switched to 3ds max from maya and i have a problem what would be the workflow for unwrapping an environment in 3dsmax? i've got all the shells but i can't pack those in 0-1 space because i can't select all my object and do a unwrap uvw modifier..

Some critics here…

Hey guys, I've recently switched my workstation to a different desktop and i've just finished installing all my programs and plugins. There's one thing that i can't wrap my head around though and that's hotkeys inside 3dsmax. I've always had a hotkey for inside the UV editor so that when i press 's' when i have an edge…
First time i'm using the projection modifier to create a normal map and I seem to have some weird issues... I've created a lamp, started with the low poly version and basically duplicated it and changed it into a high poly model / added details in 3DSMAX. After that, I simply placed them on the 0,0,0 xyz location and added…
