Re: High Poly Models and Normal Mapping
For my firts normalmapped model, I also mirrored half of the model. In the 3dsmax6 viewport it had a seam. So I painted a small strip of light blue(127,127,255) along the border. Found this solution here: http://www.monitorstudios.com/bcloward/tutorials_normal_maps12.html The seams were gone in 3dsmax, so I guess it should… -
Re: Maya Triangulation Error
Well, I actually just got it to work :D I had to import the smoothed and triangulated mesh into 3DSMax, then export an .obj back out. Don't know why it works, but it does! Thanks for the help, guys. I'd still like to know whats going on (this workaround is a pain). Seems I can't attach any .objs to the forum, though. -
Re: HELP!!!! WITH 3DS MAX 6!!!!!
I can't stress how important it is too expieriment! If you ever get stuck you would ask here...theres not realy a way you can screw up 3dsmax by expierimenting...everything is fixable. But lock your UI's realy helps from losing your windows. Oh and next time edit your posts :P -cmb -
Re: Cant figure how to construct this
In 3dsmax, you can select any edge(s), and in Edit Poly there is a "create Shape" button that turns the selection into a spline. You can then either turn on rendering in the splines parameters, or apply the Sweep modifier which will loft a few different kinds of default shapes, or use a custom shape. Great for trim,… -
Re: ugh...
Reflective textures are done inside the game-engine, Quake3 uses sprecial shaders for that for example. You can't do that in Wings3d (ok you can specify a reflective material for an external renderer, that that is not what you probably want) or Milkshape, and the stuff you can to in 3dsmax for example would not work in… -
Re: 3ds max viewport issue
I've never had either of these things happen. What version of Max are you using? I know they added the "Viewcube" stuff to Max 2009, I have a suspicion that might be causing it if you're using 2009, there should be some way to disable the Viewcube. I've never heard of or seen anything like that happening in 3dsmax in… -
Re: fbx test models for importers
yes it's indeed for importing/conversions of assets into the engine. But as it's a common task, if the stuff was hosted so all can access it, it would be helpful to anyone doing model import from dcc apps he/she doesnt have access to. both collada and fbx would be good indeed. preferebly non-3dsmax as I will make and share… -

Animating bells.
A quick question if I may, Im working with cry engine 3 and I was wondering what the best way to create an animation for tiny bells hanging from a roof would be? My goal is to make it seems as though the wind is blowing the bells, Would I have to create an animation in 3dsmax and then export it as such, or is there a… -
XRef Objects
Hi everyone, I've got a question about using XRef objects in 3DSMax. Is there a way to add a child to an object that is referenced in another scene, and get this child on the scene where this object is referenced? I've made instances of this particular object, so I would like to see this child with every instanciated…
