Re: help me... how to pack textures into 3ds max file
You can also archive the file, which will gather up the external texture files and bundle them together in a zip file with the max file. It maintains the relative folder structure so anyone opening that max file will have what they need, where it needs to be. Main Menu > Save As > Archive… -
Re: Pior's workshop
Cool, I just love this kinda stuff!! As for the re-bake of normalmap I may be wrong, but I tried this one time, however a bit different: - two object were needed, one with old UVs and normal-bump material, and one with new UVs - than you can bake normalmap from one object to another as it would be baked from HiPoly That… -
Re: 3ds max 2013 Normal seam
Same problem here. Using 3dsmax RTT. I have just been using 2012 as a "fix" A while ago I also did some tests, and it displays fine everywhere (3dsmax2012, UDK, 3dsmax2013 with the standard nitrous viewport preview, etc) Only when using Direct3D with Xoliul in 2013(haven't tested 3point since there is no 2013 version yet… -
Re: Dumbest mistakes you've made in 3d?
Spacebar in 3dsMax is the worst. I used to just think that max was soft crashed and I would exit and restart the program. My biggest D'oh...I still do to this day. Starting work on a new section of a model that is based off an old section, and accidentally using 'instance' instead of clone....then working with the original… -
Re: Maya viewport not updating automatically?
I don't think it's a graphic card or driver issue in my case, it does it on the 4 computers I've used recently (2 at home, 2 at work) with quite different hardware/drivers in them, so I really think it's more of a problem with one of the commands I use, disabling the viewport update somehow... I know 3dsMax has a shortcut… -

Re: Maxscript XYZ to RGB vert colours - Accuracy Help?
just looking at the docs, colors are described as floats not ints, but because of reasons they get resampled to the 255 range all the time.. and they suggest to use a point4 value instead - which probably doesnt really help in your case. Maybe you can store that information in an additional uv channel? color from maxscript… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - katzeimsack
Reply by Skiffy · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Character ArtHello there Katzeimsack, I have to ask.. what approach did you use to baked down those reflections? The final result is super sexy. Did you use normal Render to Texture from 3dsmax with glossy reflection shaders and it actually baked nicely? I am very curious because I've tried similar tricks in the past but did not get… -
Re: Routes into the gaming industry.
I say start by learning the basics yourself, and if you feel your not getting anywhere THEN consider going to school for it. Start simple: learn basic navigation (zoom in/out, pan, rotate), and then try creating some simple objects like crates or barrels. If you end up using 3DSMax to start out in (I'd recommend either Max… -
Re: 3ds Max 2012 Normal Map madness, please give a hand :)
They changed the standard settings for Gamma/Lut in 2012 that´s why it works in older versions out of the box.If you save with an older version and open it with 2012 it will even ask you if you want to keep the gamma/lut settings(disabled) from the file or use the activated ones. Not sure if it was ChaosEidolon who found…
