I'm fairly new to 3DS MAX 2013, I've been working with it on and off since September. I have been working on stockpiling some samples of my furniture models (not designed by me, just replicated). Unfortunately I have hit a bit of a snag with the Unwrap UVW modifier. Here is a picture of the loveseat I've been working on.…
The way to get rid of cancer is by removing the bad cells. I can't say what is causing this bizarre behavior, but it does look like you are modeling with smooth mesh preview enabled. Typically you don't want to model with that turned on, only use it to preview. One quick check you can do to make sure you don't have…
Seems there are two actions in the CUI dialog for this , but both toggle the button on the modifier rollout only, not the one in the actual Edit UV dialog ( im pretty sure this is a bug ). Those two actions are "Geom. Element Select mode" and "TV element mode". I think the second one should really toggle the button in the…
rise from the grave!!! had a co worker ask this same question the other day, i couldn't find him anything so i wrote a simple little mel script that does it. it toggles, so first time you run this it will hide selected, the next time it will unhide everything. few issues is that it also hides any additional geometry in the…
Turbosmooth/connect is a better way to handle the corners. If I had been doing more modeling instead of animation over the last 6mo I probably would have suggested that because I work with turbosmooth on top of Edit Poly, and toggle it on and off (little light bulb) to see how it smooths. The main problem you had with…

Meh, you just need to understand what max is doing so you can work with it in a more complete way. Maya has its warts too and the problem you're hitting isn't really max specific its that you need to know a little more than what its showing you, which you can run into in any new application. 1) Working with maxs normals…
Some times when I scale a face up to a certain amount, I would like so scale another similar face up to the exact same amount. I thought I could do this with Maya's Repeat command, but it does not seem to be the case I am finding myself needing to do this because attempting to select all the face that I need to scale up to…
