Started up max today and I got some unusual blank menus in the upper left of the viewport. I searched for anything related to these menus. Viewport menu fixes, resetting viewport, even reinstalled 2018 max cleanly - including user files and restarted. So I'm not sure what else to do... Appreciate any input on this. It's…
I'm about to start working on an animated short for my last semester in university and I'm somewhat lost on where to start with cel-shading. I'm shooting for a shading style similar to the one seen in Wind Waker but I don't know how to set this up in Maya 2018, or any other version of Maya really. Working with shaders is a…
This is a collection of art that was created to present JROTools products created in 2018 but without all the PR and text from the original images. Please support the artists that participated in creating the art and tools by visiting their pages that are linked in the artstation description. Wasn't sure how many images I…
I've just got the latest version of max (2018) When using the UVW Unwrap editor, the settings do not save when you select 'Save Current Settings as Default' in the drop down menu. If you collapse the modifier, and then go back in, none of the settings are saved. I've opened a bug with Autodesk, and posted on the Autodesk…

Hi all, I'm having a problem with a sculpt in ZBrush 2018. I am very much a newbie to the software and am trying to create a sculpt without following a tutorial step by step (Been there, done that; will do more, but for now...). Using Sculptris Pro (in ZBrush 2018; NOT the free Sculptris software) and I hit 5.5 million…
Every time I boot up Maya 2018 LT and try to open a scene I get a pop up about a fatal error which crashes maya. i then try to open my scene by clicking on it directly but I get a pop up telling me that I'm missing something called python27.dll. I don't know what that is, where it usually goes or how to fix it. Maya was…
Hi all. Suppose I am modelling a hard surface (not to be deformed) model for the real-time engine. The ngon below has been created by the bevel tool Maya 2018. I know for a fact that it will subdivide correctly. Question: Do I have to clean this ngon for the final model? if so - will the clean up tool do it just right or i…
Hey everyone, I can't seem to figure this one out and I'm hoping someone has a solution. I've got 3ds Max 2018 and Zbrush 4R8 P1 and the GoZ function just isn't working like it used to in Max 2014. Max>Zbrush = fine, no problem Zbrush>Max = model goes back to original Max scene, but also opens a new instance of 3ds max…
