Starting an environment - UDK BSP block out to 3DS Max
hey all, I'm starting work on a modular environment, first step is to block it out within UDK using the BSP brushes. I then want to model all assets/textures in 3DS Max, Photoshop. I would appreciate advice on how you use the BSP block out, do you import tha blockout into 3DS Max or is it purely a visual tool within UDK?..… -
Re: Baking Zbrush polypaint through 3ds max?
There is a script to actually import the ZBrush Sculpt with Polypaint into 3DSMax (ZBRush made its own modifs to the .obj format and saves the vertex color info in it). Use this script (I just tried, it works fine with Max2017) : http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/polypaint Just for info, using 3DCoat you can import… -
Opacity problem with 3ds Max 2013
I'm trying to create a transparent crystal out of standard cylinder shape in 3ds Max 2013. Problems occur when I apply any kind of opacity map for the object. Seems like normals go crazy but they are fine when checked with backface culling. Transparency seems ok in the 3ds Max, but for example Marmoset Toolbag renders half… -
Re: New to max - learning to uv unwrap?
For a simple Box I think the Max Help File on the Unwrap Modifier would suffice...understand the functions and you can unwrap simple objects easily...this tutorial taught me the basics of unwrapping (although I still hate it :D )...AFAIK the Unwrapping process hasn't changed too much since Max6...Max8 added Pelt Mappin… -

how to make a light actually emit light. 3ds max
this may seem like an odd question but I'm in need of some help. I am attempting to build my first hi-res environment and am struggling with getting my lights to, well, look like lights. I've tried some spots with the light holding a mat with 100% self illumination. it looks decent but the light from the spot leaks out of… -
Re: bump map vs normal map?
I think ( dont quote me on this ) that im right in saying that you can apply the bump map directly to the HIGH poly model and then render out the normal map and get a more detailed map than that of just the high poly on its own and screw the photoshop plugin!? cut out the middle man so to speak.... on a related topic iv… -
Re: attaching/detaching skinned meshes in 3D max ?
That could be for a few reasons. 1) If there are normal maps and you break a welded surface it will cause the normals to recalculate making the normal map invalid. It usually doesn't go all black, you just get weird seams. 2) Usually when it goes all black max has incorrectly calculated the shading normals or smoothing… -
Green lines on my models - 3DS Max
Hi, I'm new to modelling. I've just UV unwrapped a model I made, using the Unwrap UV modifier. I used Projection, Peel and Flatten. Everything looked okay, so I then saved the UV map. I imported the map into GIMP, and also imported the desired texture. I exported the file and using the Material editor, I assigned the… -
3DS Max Crazy Normals
I'm not 100% if this is caused by normals, I'm using 3ds Max 2011 and I have some really crazy problems going on. I started with this low poly mesh: I UV'd it in Headus UV layout I worked on the high poly in ZBrush but this particular model didn't end up there, I intended to bake down. I decided that I didn't need most of…
