when i used to use max, i had a script for this that would match the position of selected vertices to nearby vertices belonging to other geometry (within a given threshhold). something like http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/snap but with a far more minimal interface. so i am saying i did not test this. :) at any…
Hi Chrilley! Wow you have certainly done your homework! And to be completely honest the thing I would suspect to cause this you´ve already tried. But regarding PS versions, is it set to be in english in the interface, or is it installed as an english version from the start? Also, is the suite installed on a SSD drive?…
I don't really have a solution to your entire problem, I do have this script that constrains POS/ROT/SCALE all at once. DOWNLOAD 1. Drag and drop it into the 3ds Max viewport to install. 2. Open Customize User Interface, and look in the "monsterBlues" category to bind to a hotkey or menu item. Usage: select the slave…
When Spotify made the move to start charging for music (even though they were airing bloody annoying adverts) I made the move to Grooveshark. At the time I found that GS has a lot more of the music I like and it has more Audiobooks, etc. But, I have to admit I find Grooveshark really annoying. The new interface/website is…
I use Max. Almost all the same principles on mesh creation and texturing apply to every program. User interface for each program is whole other beast.... Quickest way to earn respect and not be considered 'amateur': punctuation. Type intelligently and you get intelligent answers. It is exhausting to read your post. There…
Thanks for the help guys. I've looked more deeply into JW Player so I can host my own videos and not worry if someone on Vimeo will suddenly decide that they breach their Community Guidelines. The latest version seems to have HTML5 support, as well as a way to interface with YouTube, so that could always be a fallback (or…
Soulburn scripts has many awesome pivot placing tools. The one I use all the time is the pivot point alignment tool UI. Where it gives you a little interface with a 3d box on it (subdivided once), and you can select any vertex on it to place your pivot on. It's great for setting your pivot point on a 0 axis for the…
Hey Kevin, thanks for the tip hah. I use mudbox only because I can't understand the zbrush interface, but I'm assuming the workflow is the same. Thats a good idea to put the grout in there as well for a more authentic look. I wish I read your post earlier haha, I just spent a good hour laying instanced bricks out! Although…
I still recommend Blender, i used to be a hardcore milkshape user but I could only make shit models with milkshape, I then switched to blender and I AM IMPROVING DRAMATICALLY LOL! My gargoyles models are actually praised now and I can use quads finally and understand more advanced modeling criticism with Blender.…
This will sound silly but I'm doing much of my modeling at work using Wings3d. I usually use Max to do my UV mapping and such at home. I'm now involved in a HL2 mod so I thought it was time to start use XSI to finish things. Unfotunately this won't fit my workflow with this limitation. If I can get used to the interface I…
