Re: Is there a "Preserve UV" option in Max like Maya?
Because the object was scaled non-uniformly. in the future when you scale an object it is wise to do it in "Sub-Object mode" like element instead of "Object mode". This is why its important to reset the scale, Hierarchy Tab > Reset Scale, or like Neox pointed out nuke it from orbit with the Reset Xform utility which does a… -
Re: First Post (character)
First thing I notice is that your normal map isn't really doing much. If your going to make a normal map make sure to try to work on bringing out all the details of the face, don't just smooth out the base mesh and use it as a normal map. I use Zmapper myself and it turns out fine but I also use a modfied file for zmapper.… -
Re: vertex colour mix map viewport display?
it does work, but only if both blended textures use the same UVs. any HLSL shader would allow to blend this stuff, so standalone max will be sufficient. I will write a .fx file and paste it here edit: got a simple .fx going that allows you to paint vertexcolor masks, currently just 2 textures supported, but I could raise… -
Re: 3d Worn Down Glass Floor Material Needed
Good job! You're getting it, this is great to see! I'd make the rim along the very outside edge much thicker, like 2x the width of the inner ribs. Here it looks like 1/2 as thick.

Browse to the 3dsmax.exe and make sure to check on "always use the selected program to open this kind of file". It will switch the… -
Re: Showing Vertex color/lighting in Max Render
Ok your creating a composite shader not a map, this isnt what you want. You need to stay with the standard shader, go to the diffuse map slot and create the composite map in there. this will give you a node in the diffuse slot that can do basic compositing much like a mix8layer in maya heres a tutorial on the map… -

Re: Material Editor lost in the void - Max
try looking through the 3dsmax.ini (and possibly other config files in max root dir). somewhere in one of those it surely saves the window positions. -

Re: District 9 - Exo Suit
Thanks for the replies everyone, I am really glad you like it so far :) . EricV - Good eye man, I did in fact have more plates in my model. After you caught it I went back in and fixed it, now there are 7 just like the movie. I also worked on the slopes of the spine, its not perfect but its pretty close. Thanks for pushing…
