Hi all. Suppose I am modelling a hard surface (not to be deformed) model for the real-time engine. The ngon below has been created by the bevel tool Maya 2018. I know for a fact that it will subdivide correctly. Question: Do I have to clean this ngon for the final model? if so - will the clean up tool do it just right or i…
Hey gang. I'm working on my first DOTA 2 Courier and am in the home stretch. I need to figure out how it's setup for exporting! Does anyone have experience with that? I'm using 3DS Max 2014 and the WallWorm Tools. Specifically I need to know how the damage shapes are set up, what they are called, what they are attached to,…
Hey guys. So I'm using max to render out a tileable rain ripple texture. Everything is working great however I realized that the mask I'm using is cutting off the ripples in any places where they overlap.

Hi hoping someone can give me a better method for doing this. I have 3ds Max 2019, so no Mental Ray, I want to use Render to Texture to bake the Ambient Occlusion maps for some fairly basic objects. Currently my method is to use a skylight, shadows on, set to 16 rays. This takes a really long time but produces the correct…
as said in the title, i'm having some trouble with the attribute editor in Maya 2013. i have a subdivide proxy on one of my models, but once the history is deleted, the link between the two objects becomes broken and i can no longer edit the low poly object and have the edit appear in the high poly. my question is; is…
Hello I have this issue when I try to open 3ds max 2018 with Nitrous Direct3D 9. I have tried almost everything including changing the graphics mode but they are either very slow or the view-port glitches my models. The software was working fine with direct3d 9 until that new windows creators update. My laptop wouldn't…
