I have found bit of info here and there, and this is what i came up with. string $matchingFaces[]; //this will be used later to select facesConvertSelectionToFaces; // just select all the faces of the…
Please could anyone help? I cannot select vertices or edges in 3ds max. Sometimes they are selected but only when the cursor is near, not at the vertex or the edge. Especially the problem appears when I work with small chamfers.
I noticed sometimes i get weird problems that don't happen other times, like going into scuplt mode, making some duplicates and then existing the mode having the original thing i copied having a sort reduced opacity or grayed out a little and no longer having actual normal map color qualities. In thinking about it i…
I've been messing around in Max today, and for some reason it will not allow me to select faces unless I click on a vertex, then it selects all adjacent faces to said vertex. I'm sure I must have pressed a hot key to make this happen, or clicked a button somewhere, but I have no idea how to undo it. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to pass selections up the stack to the vertex paint modifier? I really need to be able to select rings, loops, open edges etc. Seems like the modifier is extremely limited in this respect unless I'm missing something obvious. Alternatively anyone know of way to do this in maxscript or if any scritps already…
Hi, I've been trying to copy the alpha value of a selected vert in 3dsmax (via a tool UI) and I'm almost there but something isn't working how I expected. It seems that I need to get the index of that vert in its array and not its ID# ? Here is the code that I have so far for the "Copy Alpha" button; the variable "sV" is…
