I'm using some modular rectangular pieces, and many are using what should be the same material. It seems that because the pieces are rectangular, instancing the material is not an option because the scalerParamater node affects both the U and the V scale? Is there a way to instance a material and use a node that allows me…
Hey all, I use these scripts to toggle subobject modes in Max. If no EditableP/EditP is selected atm, it goes there, unless some mods are selected (in this example, Symmetry). ( fn goToBottom= ( local obj = selection[1] if obj != undefined then ( if subobjectLevel == undefined then Max Modify Mode if…
Does anyone know of a plugin or script that makes the alt+q isolation mode not terrible? I want something light weight I can rapidly flick on and off without max forcing me out of sub-object mode and re framing my view.

We have a second custom code node that modifies the vertex…
Hi! Does anyone know why render mode in substance painter gives these artifacts while painting mode looks good. What is wrong? P.S. These artifacts also seen in Marmoset toolbag.
Hello! I’m excited to share the very early stage of my new Unreal Engine 5 environment art project. This first phase focuses on blocking out the space and exploring the core ideas behind the scene. I’ve gathered thematic reference materials, used AI to generate early concept directions, and I’m actively collecting…
Hello all, Very newbie question, but I've double clicked on a Material Instance, and it's taken me to a big material sphere with some parameters to the right. How do I get to the node editor for this material? Can you only edit nodes for a Material and not a Material Instance? It's a material from Megascans that I exported…
