Re: How to make a model for game?
Yes, the exporter only handles (can handle) a limited amount of data because of the way scripts and script output works (or not as the case actually is) within gMax, so you have to cut the model down into smaller sections for output... it might be less that 2k vertices per section, can't remember.

Re: 3ds Max 2012 Unwrap UVW Deselect Problem

Ctrl-b might be bound to something in UVW Unwrap than it is in the main UI so the Main UI shortcut is being overwritten by the UVW shortcut. I did some custom scripting to get my 6 key to always exit… -

Re: SSD Performance in 3d/2d Apps

Re: Unearthing 3D Environment Issues w/ Dr Dipsh*t

3DSMax How to align object to working pivot
Hello, I have a script that sets a working pivot exactly where I need it. The problem is, I can't find a way to either align/create another object / point / dummy to that working pivot, or to just make the current object's pivot be the working pivot. Google turns up nothing. From what I understand this same question was…
