I don't have the same issues that I once had. It used to be as bad as you have it but that was 2-3 years ago and since then I've upgrade desktops at work and at home, I'm running 64bit win7 and there have been several updates to max. It seems like the buggiest it ever got was on 32bit XP with low ram 4mb and 3dsmax2010, it…
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…
Thanks Farfarer!That really helped a great deal.I used the push modifier to offset the low poly from the sculpt by 0.2,then projected via 3DSMAX.The bake was pretty clean,though I'm getting seam lines in the displacement which is completely understandable. Here's a 3D view…

Hi. there is another way to model that shapes insinde 3dsmax.In the graphite modeling tools, you can select where you want to "draw" (to the grid or to surface). First you need a reference object ,which you will draw on. Then at the graphite modeling tools tab click poly draw->new object.Once when the new object is…
As far as I know I haven't done anything to make them wider. The only thing I normally do is expand the command panel to a two column layout. So I can fit as much of CS as possible on-screen. The edit poly doesn't have varying roll-out widths. It fills the whole space of the command panel. I did try re-installing, killing…
[ figured it out bratha this is what i had to do Go to C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Autodesk/3dsMaxDesign/(version)/ find a folder called ENU. Rename it, like ENU-OLD. Then start Max and see if that fixes anything also thanks for the rapid response. link to the post that had answer…
