I'm trying to create a nice and smooth falloff effect in a character but in the seam area (like here) this line that crosses along it. There is any way of solve this or getting a falloff without it? The organization of material and maps for this part is here. In the falloff the slot with the color correction is just to put…
Hello everyone :) I've been doing highpoly modeling for a while, but I'm a lowpoly beginner and I have a couple of questions about it. As a first proper lowpoly test I thought I'd make an ammo crate. Couldn't be hard, right? :) All went well until I had to bake the normal map. I get strange triangles here and there, that I…
I'm using 3ds max 2010 and I've recently installed Windows 8. I've taken some screenshots: Well, I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's getting very annoying! After a few minutes of messing around in Max a section of the view port freezes and there isn't anyway to unfreeze it, if I minimize Max the frozen parts of the…
I was looking to scatter some coal objects onto part of my mesh. I found out about the "scatter" compound object in 3ds max, and decided to give it a try. I must have misclicked or did it the wrong way round as it moved the wrong things around. So I undid it and saved/closed max. I come back and my max is really laggy.…
Um. What am I doing wrong? (In Max 11) I choose DX9, and rotating simple objects "pops" around.. It shows the Nvidia in use. I choose DX10 and rotating is better but now all models are triangulated and it shows the Intel card in use. So the 3ds shader no longer works. I have the Nvidia control center pushing the Nvidia…
A few months ago I rendered out a phone I made in 3ds max and now I'm revisiting it again so I can touch up on some of the issues I have with it. One of them being that whenever I render out the passes, the text on the phone don't come out as clear as what the texture I put on it is. Diffuse: Reflection: Specular: Final: I…
Good Morning ( or afternoon, or night ;) ) to all my fellow polycounters! Studio max has been pissing me off lately since I have to do a lot of obj exports out of it and everytime I do an export selected, it never remembers that I wanted to do an obj export and instead randomly selects one of those numerous formats that I…
Warning! Incoming tech heavy talk! Blur studios have been known for their awesome work and for releasing some awesome scripts I'll let r_fletch_r explain it: "After a long downtime, Blur have re uploaded their Python plugin for Max/XSI. http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/ This is awesome as not only can you access the whole…
Hey peeps, I don't know if anyone may have the link or not, but I was hoping to get the older version of Outliner for 2010-2012, but they seem to be offline on the official site. Any leads? Cheers!
I've been using Max 2010 for a bit now, and so far I'm having nothing but issues with it. I'm not even talking about the terrible performance, slow load times, but the crashes and bugs. I find it literally impossible to get through a single project without a myriad of technical bugs/glitches. Not only that, Max crashes on…
