Re: Maya or Max
...if only Autodesk would combine them both to make one software package. I prefer Maya because it was what I was taught in College, but 3DS Max has really efficient modeling tools, and it seems modifiers are just a click away, whereas Maya you need to dig a little if you don't already have a shortcuts or a shelf created… -
Re: What Do I Do?
HAHAHAHHAA. I laughed so hard after reading that because of that face at the end. hehehe. I will next time. I'll be all "You see you open this program autodesk three dee studio max, and start manipulating polygons and vertices to achieve your desired shape and design relative to balbalb. Add some more polygons to define… -
Re: Been using max for 17 years! Suggestions, what other tools work like max?
Since it seems like you'd rather not switch and you say you got your money's worth out of Max 9, you could also try to get your hands on a used copy of the last perpetual version of 3ds Max (2016?). Probably not easy to find, especially now, and you would have to explore the legal side of things, which includes getting… -
Re: FBX Vs. ActorX
Epic is no longer working on Actor X, and I suspect why you got the link constraints to work is that the respective Actor X plugins probably baked out animation to the bones when exporting whereas the intention of the fbx format is to move data between different autodesk apps. That said, if Actor X is working fine for you,… -
Re: Unity3D Tangent Basis Calculator plugin for xNormal
yeah but even still it disables them upon import...the only solution I have read for it to read proper is that your meshes need to be set on "editable mesh" vs poly (Which I find kinda BS and thats a FBX issue on autodesks side that I believe there not addressing) theres a ton of info on this in this thread and a bit of… -
Re: Normal map baking, horrid smoothing...
Computron, I will look into that, I did try to keep the edges smooth and not tight. sprunghunt, I set it on 80. The normal maps are viewable, and yes I used the Bump material and didnt apply the normals straight to the slot. MightyPea, I only rendered it to quick have a look if it looks okay. I usually use Xoliul's shader,… -
Re: Need help bringing heavy object to 3ds max
Thank you all for the responses. Actually I worked it out this way : first I converted the fbx file to obj using the autodesk converter. Then I used Zbrush and welded vertices there were about 20K unused vertices and like 550K overlapping. It came down to 500K polys and max could easily handle yet I have surface normals… -
Re: What's Your Backup Regime?
I only back up client work nightly. Things I do personally, not so much, only big projects. I am more concerned about loosing the ability to do my work than if the work was gone via theft or fire. Email is offsite. Applications like Adobe, Autodesk, Newtek are just a login away to their respective online account management… -

Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
Yeah, this is seriously bothersome. It's not as bad with Autodesk products because there's only a new release once a year after which you have to wait for everyone to come out with new scripts. Luckily the plugins are open-source due to Blender's GPL license, so if you know what you're doing and the plugin is important…
