For 2013 I made a new years resolution to improve my 2D art. I've always felt like 2D art was a weakness and really worked hard to improve. Here is some of that progress. Keep in mind this is about 1/10th of the art I made, and some of it is really painful to post. But I'm happy with the improvement and feel more confident…
I must be blind, I can't find this option in max 2013. The rest of my co-workers have no interest in upgrading and are just sticking with 2012. I don't want to save-as and hit the drop-down box every single time before I check in a max file. Is there a way to set 2013 to just automatically save as 2012?
Howdy gents. Work just 'upgraded' us to Max 2013. I'm trying desperately to figure out how to remove icons from the MAIN toolbar. I did a clean up back in the day of my main toolbar in 2009, but can't recall the process. Now, in 2013, while some icons can be removed via Right Click>Delete Button, many others cannot. For…

We'll match up all the requests with other participants in secret, and in a few days…
If you think about what density means, it's saying that a certain amount of surface space is equal to a certain amount of pixels. If your density is 1024pixels/m that means 1m = 1024pixels. So if you divide your 1m grid into 50cm, what does that mean for your pixels? 512px = 50cm. Now think about your mesh grid. There is…
