if you are not upgrading to new versions of your 3d software but rather just transferring straight over then it should be simple: - after installing max and maya on the new system, copy the respective user pref folders over from your old machine, overwriting what the installation procedure has created. - also copy over the…
Yes, spacefrog is right, you need to edit your 3dsmax.ini file to fix this, or rather revert back to the old navigation system. I think the Adaptive Navigation system is autodesk's new way of handling things so this option to revert back might stop working in newer versions when they fully switch over. Then they MIGHT get…

Humm you might be onto something. I have Win7, Geforce 760GTX and run nitrous (3dsmax2014) and I get the selection problem occasionally but I don't notice as often because the controls I use are easy to select and everything else is either frozen or hidden. It might have something to do with monitors or resolution? I…
FX shader is the best way to go. Load the FX in a DirectX Shader material. You can easily make new shaders with Shader FX, or use one of the shaders in that thread. Also CrazyButcher has a nice vc shader here: http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/ArtTools/3dsmaxFX
3dsmax2015 will have a new and improved select and place but the older versions have object paint which is more like object scatter, because it isn't really all that precise and doesn't let you control the rotation of each object that gets painted, you have to come back to the painted objects and adjust their rotation. It…
hmm the hotkeys you're looking for should be available in max 2010+ it should be called Align Selection Horizontal and Align Selection Vertical or something like that but all I have is max 2012 right now so I'm not sure But making your own macroscript (C:/ProgramFiles/Autodesk/3dsMaxXXXX/ui/macroscripts/[whatever].mcr) for…
Xoulio's shader is actually very similar to marmoset, from what i know, with probably more ability to customize the results. Also, there was that maya shader that crazybutcher ported over to max that has many of the same features. http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/ArtTools/3dsmaxFX#genbrdf
I think you can find the script Surfa is talking about is on scriptspot. Otherwise I think you can also nuke the 3dsmax.ini file which will also reset a bunch of other things. You might want to back it up in case that doesn't work. I have UltraMon installed, it adds an option to the Alt + Space menu "move to other monitor…
