just learned this recently from a programmer at work and by using it regularly i have greatly increased the stability of max. while using max, certain scripts and plugins, as well as even certain functions of max itself create memory leaks, to clear all memory, and the undo buffer type gc() in the lower left hand corner(in…

Hi maxes radiosity solution is crap and very slow. i want to test other solutions for baking AO and GI into verts for max besed meshes... so far ive tested xnormals simple gpu AO tool which is extremely fast but lacks bounce light. anyone else got decent results using vray or mental ray to verts in max... may need to…
well i'm pretty new to max but i've been working in maya for some time and can unwrap pretty well using maya. now i have to use max and i am not used to the max workflow at all. i managed to build a rough boxy house to get into it but it's not easy when you're not getting any explanations. so my question is if you know any…
I'm getting to that point where I need to get a new copy of max, but now they have that subscription system that is $1500 per year (ouch). It was painful enough to pay $3500 for max so many years ago, but I think I got my value out of my copy of max 9! Looking for a low cost or free alternative to 3ds Max. But my biggest…
I'm working on a project in Max that'll end up as a large format print. I'm using Max to create a 3d distortion of an image that'll go on the side of a Semi Trailer. I need to load a texture that is 32kpx x 14kpx. I've already generated the initial image, and rendering that image out once it's in max won't be an issue…
I'm going to be moving over to another project soon they only use 3DS Max but I haven't used Max is a long long time.... As a Maya user primarily I'm not sure what key differences I need to worry about when moving over to Max for hard-surface modeling. I understand majority of everything is transferable knowledge wise, but…
Hey guys, i'm having some problems with import/export between Zbrush and max, here's what i did: -Exported base mesh from max, without texture coordinates -Sculpted up to level 4 -Exported lowest level back to max - i'm keeping it as editable mesh to keep vert order -Created new uv's -Tweaked some of the volume on the…
To convert a .Max file into any other format, you need 3ds Max installed. The way the format is parsed means Max files won't open without Max. You could d/l the demo from Autodesk, it's fully functional for 30 days. I haven't used MD2 in ages, but "md2 exporter 3ds max" returns a list of possibilities. I usually check…
One thing I miss about Max, having transitioned to Blender last year, is the viewport clay mode. I believe that had something to do with a nitrous driver that Max uses? Is this something that can be implemented in Blender? Or maybe a future feature? I like the matcaps in Blender, I just really like the old Max clay. :)…
