Re: Visible normal map seams in 3DS Max's viewport
I'm using 3ds Max 2012 and Xoliul viewport shader fully supports that version of Max. I have 2014 version too, but I find 2012 a little bit better. And as it reads in Xoliul's support page: "Autodesk has completely broken shading in Max 2013 and 2014. I can not and will not fix this. You should go back to Max 2012 if you… -
Re: Pro Boolean problem [3ds max 2012]
The meshes need to be water tight for any type of boolean to work. No open edges, no boarders no double faces, no flipped faces. It also helps if a single element is operating on a single element. If you have multiple meshes joined into one edit poly its going to have trouble. They changed ProBoolean a bit in a 2011… -
Best Tutorial /Book in learning UV Unwrapping in Autodesk Maya
Hello everyone ! I would like to ask you fellow artists on what's the best tutorial or book on your opinion on learning UV unwrapping.

Re: Stable 3D Software that doesn't crash and cause problems? Cinema4D, Blender, Modo, Or LightWave?
I'm using 2017. However, I always encountered weird bugs in 2015 as well. I didn't use 2016 all that much. I've been using student versions and it makes me wonder if Autodesk purposely makes their student versions buggy. Also, what 3D app outside of Autodesk realm does not crash and is light on resources? -
Maya 2015 Baking Vertex Colours Help
So Maya's paint vertex color tool has an export option, which doesn't have fill texture seam option, but more detrimentally, only exports vertex colours, not face colours; it averages adjacent face colours an exports that value as the vertex colour. So i've been googling like crazy and the only result i get is this:… -
3D Studio Max 12 / 13 crashes within minutes of opening
As title says - I'm running out of options apart from jumping ship after 19 years and going to Maya, which I don't want to do as I love Max, but it's just gone too unreliable. Searching for a bug like this brings all thousands of different types, making it impossible to single out the one I have. I was having the problem… -
Re: Autodesk re-structuring and slashing 1,200 jobs
Now that's a paper I'd like to read for sure! Right, but doesn't that also mean they don't have to try harder with each new release because they don't have to convince people to upgrade anymore? As a modeler, the only reason I upgraded from 2016 to 2017 was performance on heavy models, I'm still looking for a reason to… -
