Wow! Thanks that quite a selection to work through. I also have to add i'm a big fan of old amiga game music too, found the shadow of the beast soundtrack if anyone here remembers that, highly recommended for intrinsic ambience and simple nostalgia :) Oh and ghouls and ghosts!
How are you enabling NURMS? I select the object, right click, and from the menu hit "NURMS Toggle" which is the very first option in Max 2011. I don't know if your problem is exclusive to 2010, but there's a chance enabling NURMS in a different way could fix it :)
GoMax makes the whole process easier, also I've found that Zbrush likes you to select your ztool from within the subtools, because for some reason it binds your subtool to a random sphere which you will destroy your model when transferring it into a polymesh or whatever.
No This is Complete effect added by me by using volume select mesh verticies affecting Push.. As i said it is not rendered, it is not textured and nothing so it looks like a mud....the water speed is quite fast in real but i don't know why that thing happened.. .. :).. thank you for comment....
I think I understand what you're trying to do... Select the items you don't want to cast shadows, right click and choose object properties, then turn off "Cast Shadows"? If that doesn't work I didn't understand what you're trying to do =P
Enable snap to grid (the snap menu button in the texture editer), then either enable snapping or hold ctrl to toggle it on. You could also enter in the coordinates manually, so if you had verts that were close to the border, you could select them and enter 0 or 1
Hey quick tip that'll help you out. Hold down the S key while you have a static mesh selected in the browser and left click in the world. It'll place your mesh on the ground and holding ALT+S will orient it to the face of whatever you click on.
I don't think that's a single face, I can show you the wireframe. Edit: Normals don't seem to be flipped, else these selected faces would show up in a darker red, from what I know. It looks the same on both sides. Wireframe view on the side:
Tired of wasting time with complicated UI behavior? Maybe this video can help you with a few things I learned using Blender from the past years. This is 5 tips for selecting objects and meshes in Blender 2.79 that will speed up your pipeline. https://youtu.be/9aVIFwvSQHY
No. Its on the spline mesh. Select the node where you create the spline mesh components, and enable it on that. Like this: If that still won't do it, I'm sorry but yeah this isn't working with spline meshes. In that case, I'm not sure how you should approach this, because this is the standard way otherwise.
