Re: 3ds max bone display modes
Looks like the Nif importer is enabling BoneAsLine for some reason. This option is not available anywhere in the UI, nor through MaxScript. But we can get to it through Python. Select your objects while in link mode and evaluate this python script from the MaxScript Editor (language set to Python). [edit]Sorry pasted as… -
3ds max bone display modes
Hello all, I've been doing some importing\exporting\bone stuff in max, and found out that it can display bones very differently. But I know that it can display them as mesh objects, or as "Links", which makes them look similar to Maya's, for example, and others. But I also found this: Screenshot I searched all the… -
Re: 3ds max bone display modes
Hi, thanks. I'm using max 2016, but the same with 2014 and 2015. In the modifier stack they are all "Bone", with classic Bone Object parameters. I can turn off "Display Links" and then all of then render as regular max bones with geometry, though geometry is a bit weird, but whatever. But I still can't find any information… -
Re: 3ds max bone display modes
FYI, here's how to embed images: http://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions/p1#forum When you select each of the two bone types, what do they show in the Modifier Stack? That should give you some clues. Which version of Max are you using? Some info about how bones work:… -

Re: 3ds max bone display modes
Could you share your max file, or just part of the file? I can't reproduce this behavior. -

Oh, really!? Autodesk, wtf? I know Python, yeah. Thanks. -
Re: 3ds max bone display modes
Have you tried the "Leave As Bone" FBX import option? This should cause everything to import as a BoneGeometry class object. In your screenshot I notice the arm is "links" and the attachment bones are dummies. It could be that only deforming bones are imported as Bones, and the rest are Dummies. Maybe try unchecking… -
Re: 3ds max bone display modes
It's not actually FBX import, it's nif from fallout, and they are not dummies, they are all bones, they have bone in the modifier stack, and through max script they register as bones as well. All of them. The "links" were imported separately through fbx, thats why they are displayed as links correctly, while the rest came…
