That is a very hard question to answer because there are a lot of tools out there that can do what you ask for. It also depends on what source engine you are going to export the models to. Typically you will find that the industry are keen towards Autodesk 3ds Max and Maya for games development, so often these tools have…
Thanks a lot for your help guys ! 3dsMax is one of those rare programs that gets worst when all its competitors gets lighter/faster/better and I've seen bugs in this soft that exist since 1999 and neither Discreet nor Autodesk ever fixed them (like this window issue on multiple screens, or the fact that "export" always…

I know this is a really old thread but I wanted to point out that depending on how the animation was setup, there's different ways you can do this fairly easily. The Move All Mode (Button that looks like a dot with a bent arrow coming out the top to the right) you can easily re-position the entire animation's origin.…
towards the end of may I suffered some software issues where maya wouldnt open, spent a week trying different solutions with no success including a clean uninstall of all autodesk products from my machine, decided I would use this as an opportunity to learn new software, so spent a few weeks learning max and loving it so…
I use max, I stay away from CAT and stick to biped and rigs that I've created myself. I've hit too many bugs with CAT and had to do some very crazy work arounds to get CAT rigs working. Autodesk seems to be working on CAT over the last few releases and hopefully they are still working on it, so it might be better in a…
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2904948/MaxScript/CageOff.ms Try putting this script in your 3ds max Startup folder, by default in this location: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2014 - 64bit\ENU\scripts\startup\ Requires Max 2009 and up. The script turns off "Show Cage" when an object is converted to…
hi James, if you want to keep working with max, autodesk has some nice videos by Grant Warwick that are at a good level for a beginner to understand, he walks you through his process so you see where some of the everyday basic max tools are while modeling away inorganic shapes. it's very informative and free, you just have…
That's the problem, the yearly releases. I think your comment about us living in their construction site was spot on, Vig. And I certainly agree the horizontal layout was unjustifiable, so I suspect not a lot of thought went into that. The slowness is also inexcusable, and the promised improvements can't come soon enough…
EDIT: Nevermind. I haven't used this tool before, so wasn't sure what to expect, but a friend told me it still wasn't working for him. Haven't had a chance to properly test, but It appears to work if you copy the "lib" folder from "C:\Program Files\Quixel SUITE 2.0\colors\" to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max…
