When trying to load a .dds file into the mat editor in max 7 I get a pop up that has the title "Image I/O error" and the body of the box contains the file path and under that it says "unknown error" I installed service pack 1 which had a fix for some I/O issues with .dds files but it doesn't seem to help. I'm pretty sure…
Hey guys, I am getting some weird errors when I bake an AO map in 3ds max using Mental Ray. I followed this tutorial exactly, using method #2. The weird thing is that I tried it out on a less complex model to see how it worked, and it works fine. What am I doing wrong? I dont get any errors on my normal map, but for some…
Hi guys, in this project of mine I almost gave it up on trying to finish it, there is this error that doesn't let me paint correctly, the texture I imported moves around when I pan or zoom or add elements on top of it, it's simply frustrating. Can anyone spot the error? I am a beginner and the lack of information online…
Ok an N-pole shading error - (a vertex where 5 or more edges meet) which forces Blender to average face normals across different angles, causing dark spots or "pinching" artifacts when using smooth shading. And here's a few options that may resolve the problem 1. To fix the Normals and Smoothing often, shading artifacts…
When adding foliage to my level, in this case grass, I get strange artifacts and color errors in my editor window. This only happens when I start to move my camera around while editing the level. When I stop moving around, the glitching and errors stop. Currently I am adding a material to my terrain, then adding foliage to…

The problem is shown in Xoliul Shader 2, but it is pretty identical in 3Point Shader Lite (I couldn't get the Quality Normals modifier to show up). Here is an example: The only difference I did was select the mesh. I have also had the error come up when I shifted…

If i choose "Ignore" the animation will get messed up on the forearms. I cant really see how this bone can be so off? And how do I…
Hello everyone. While modeling I will occasionally run into an error saying "3Ds Max has run out of memory". It will attempt to make a back up of the file I was working on and will proceed to crash. When I reboot 3Ds Max it will load fine, however when I try to load my previously saved file or the back up another error…
I've been a user of xNormal for a very long time. I have baked out several special maps and I feel like I can avoid problems before they begin. However there are some error that I have resolved through horrible practices. The errors come in many varieties but the common factors are either (A) xNormal thinks the vertex…
Sorry to post this up, but I'm really stuck with a huge problem. A day or so ago my PC did a normal defrag when I turned the PC on etc like it does every couple of days or whatever its set it.
