Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
Hmm, nope I don't think you can get rid of that It should be dark grey though I think, does your monitor need calibrating (or does mine?!)? Also you should play around with the "Freeform Transform" mode in the UVW editor, I don't think Maya has a manipulator like this, it works like Photoshop's free transform, pretty handy… -
Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
Are you using the middle mouse scroll wheel to zoom? Try both and see what happens. If that doesn't work try walk thru mode to "move the viewport closer" instead of zooming it. I know middle mouse scroll in perspective will slow down the closer it gets to an object. If you have nothing selected when you "middle mouse… -

In response to 11: Changing the hotkey for Undo should also affect the Unwrap UVW editor. If it doesn't, that probably means that you have the same key assigned in the Unwrap UVW hotkey section. I'm assuming you re-mapped undo to Z. By default Z is set to toggle "Zoom" mode in UVW editor, so that will override the main… -

6. So to switch to wireframe in maya during modeling I just hit 4 on the keyboard at any time, in max it allows double hotkeys so while in modeling mode 4 does something completely different, what is the general workflow for switching between wireframe and other modes while doing modeling or does everyone just use the… -

Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
you can turn off the brackets when you first load the file; it'll stay off after you save the file and open it again. you can moving pivot by moving the mesh in Object mode under Edit Poly/Mesh or go to the Heirarchy Tab in the Pivot panel and turn on Affect Pivot only, that lets you directly manipulate the pivot of the… -
Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
Well I think you are kind of in luck. Max now has a mode called hidden line. Leave backface cull on though so you can see the wireframe. An it's kind of like a flat shaded with 100% self illumination, so it's not exactly what you are looking for though, but you may like it. You can try this if you feel, but I think it's a… -
Re: 3d studio max 8 questions.
11. I don't think Max will let you set undo and redo just for the Unwrap or UVW modifier, a but it be interesting to find out. To find the shortcuts for things like the modifiers you need to go Customize/Customize UI/ go under group rollout and go to Unwrap UVW. Sometimes if what you are looking for isn't there you need to…
