3DS Max (2013) Rotation Gizmo issue
This is a minor problem, but one I feel is worth mentioning in the hopes that someone knows a solution. With an object selected, rotating said object will show the angle data above the gizmo assuming you haven't unchecked "show angle data" in your gizmo preferences. When in subobject mode, angle data is not shown above the… -
WorldPositionOffset Problem
Hello everyone! So I have a gradient that is panning through the World Position Offset, and masking out the red channel to give me the x-axis. My problem is that when I place my object in the world, It's offsetting in X but when I rotate my object, it continues offsetting in the x-axis, instead of following the objects… -
Max2008 - subD oddity
Any of you using Max2008 yet? I've been using it a few weeks now, but haven't done a lot of subD work until last night. I noticed that when I had the nurms enabled, it would do strange things when I deselected the object, such as turning the nurms off. Makes it difficult to align different subD objects when I can't keep… -
Max XRefs
Just shooting a small question this way to see if this is a common error or if I am completely f@#$ed. Have a object in a .max file xrefed into another, it's been like this for awhile now, no problems. I went to update the object in the original .max model and texture, didn't touch the center. But now in the main scene its… -

Restarting Max and resetting the scene doesnt help :( EDIT: it looks like all new objects are being assigned a surface controller.. I have no… -

combineAndPreserveTransform Maya Python script
Hey guys, Just a small script i created for Maya. Maybe someone else will find it useful. Enjoy. Description: This script is similar to the regular "Combine" command for polygon objects, but it keeps the last selected objects transform node. Thereby you get to keep your object name, transform values, any keyframes on the… -
3ds Max Working Pivot to Local Pivot?
Is there some way to make the working pivot become the object's actual pivot? Alternatively is there a way to align an object's pivot to the view or the surface (like you can with the working pivot)? I can't find anything in the help and it seems like this would be a no-brainer. I've got an object I'd merged down that I… -
