Yeah, I have to second that. I tried the book thing way back when I was learning, and I honestly got a lot more mileage out of F1 and the Internet. Autodesk has their Area site that hosts a bunch of free video tutorials. If you hunt around for a few minutes, and set your search terms for Max-Beginner, you'll probably find…
Well, everybody has different taste and workflow, so it`s close to impossible to make a complex app with spot-on UI for everyone. I personally find Zbrush UI quite likable - when you get into it. Its very simple and categorization is excellent. Those parts that I don`t like are easily customizable into my own menus. I…
so, who exactly at autodesk/adobe is going through the source files (read: source files, not compiled ingame assets) and looking for assets made with pirated software? while you should buy your software (i did!), nobody is checking. when you're the only game in town and you charge $4000 for your software, of course pirated…
The fact that max doesn't have some paired down license has always frustrated me. It's a shame max and Maya re both owned by the same company, Autodesk has dictated Maya as the ordained indie/low cost option, regardless if you used the max student license and really learned to love its workflow. If they were from separate…
Friendly bump for a friendly update to my plugin... I updated the original post with the latest information and imagery. Enjoy =) I finally got around to implementing this. It works great now! Everything updates in real time without requiring the entire window to redraw. There's still a bit of annoyance, though. The…
where you migrating files (like scripts, icons ect) from older versions of max into 2014? They changed the path for user scripts and icons and if you put them in the wrong spot it might cause a problem like that. Or if you thought the folder was redundant and you removed it, that might also cause a problem like that. You…
I havent tried this but it seems interesting , he doesnt explain properly how to install it so here we go : to install put all the content to C:\Users\"yourusername"\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\"your3dsnaxmax version" \enu and drag and drop his AdvFBXExport_Macro.mcr file to your max screen .. [ame="…
I think if you change the transform center to Local or Parent, and the pivot center to Pivots, then they should all snap to a single vertex? You should see each vertex with it's own pivot tripod. Sorry, don't have Max here to test.…
Thank you helpful people! i was thinking I'd have to do it that way Manually adding the other edges. Oh well. Autodesk need to make a Bridge+ button which takes into account other edges. or lets me bridge to them so i could then bridge 6 or so times across a surface. I find I'm mainly tackling the flat sided holes. as for…
i am have been quite skeptic too but... I recently got the AMD Firepro W7000 mainly because i needed a fast gpu that is certified by autodesk for mudbox and at the same time runs dx11 games pretty well. i took a risk, and to my surprise it is doing both of them very well so far. i can now sculpt in mudbox with 60mil+…
