Keeping Smoothing Groups from Max to Maya

Any ideas would be appreciated. I know in maya its all based on edges. I… -
Re: Watermill Environment - No Rest for the Wicked
I have been working on my roof, and I am considering two approaches to achieve results similar to No Rest for the Wicked. Since the game uses a top-down view, their roof tiles are quite flat because they don’t require much depth. However, this wouldn’t work in my environment, as I want it to work well from multiple angles.… -
Which smoothing group approach is the best?
Hi. I'm making a battle axe and i'm not sure which smoothing groups approach is the best. In the pictures, you can see i have given each side one smoothing group, and the other one i have given the rings one and the rest another one. I get more artifacts on the one with one smoothing group. Sorry if it's a bit unclear, if… -

Smooth lines with tablet?
I love my tablet, but it seems that since you're placing pixels, smooth lines are hard to come by. I've seen people with basic concept ideas and they have such amazing smooth lines and I have no clue how they do it, my lines come out all herky jerky even though my hand for the most part is still. I can draw smooth lines on… -

no smooth group unless edit normal is reset.
Hi there guys, I'm now trying to get used to editing normals and using smooth groups. Has anyone noticed that after using the "edit normals" modifier, smooth groups and graphite modeling's smooth function in the polygon modeling tab no longer works? It works only after I've hit the reset button in the "edit normals"… -
possible to smooth mesh in 3ds max?
heres my mesh: its got a mesh smooth applied, but the surface is still slightly bumpy. I've been adjusting the vertices for a total of about an hour already probably but i just cant get it to be smooth. I had to add more geometry, because there are other parts of the mesh that are more intricate and need more geo, but the… -
