Max wizards: Altering Max's default settings?
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to set up Max so that when it loads up it has all my settings I normally manually adjust every time I start a new project.

Re: 3DS Max: Darker shadows, darker AO?
It was my understanding that ao from MR in 3ds max is quite broken and or very ugly results when compared to scanline renderer.I''ll also set samples in rtt to 220-256 range. What I typically do with ao for tanks/vehicles is to render with the base coat of paint instead of going for a ao /black/white result with nice… -
Re: Issues with FBX from Maya to Max transfer - pivot's location
I and many others have been using fbx to go back and forth between maya and max for over a decade and never had this issue - which I suspect gives rise to the fact you can't find much help on here.

Re: Stick with Blender or switch to 3ds Max?
Blender is very capable software, nearly anything you could make in Max can also be made in Blender and vise versa. Learning Max may help you get work in a studio that uses it, but ultimately the quality of your work is more important then the software you use. Max does have much better viewport performance then Blender… -
