My chamfer aint pretty 3dsMax 2014
Hi guys I am getting some strong distortion when I am chamfering an edge in 3ds Max 2014. I am following along a tutorial where the user is relying on quad chamfer modifier which isnt available for my version of 3ds max. See around the 46:20 minute mark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y83FLL6TqF0&list=WL&index=55 Instead I… -
3dsMax Normal Projection Trick?
Ok, so there has been some disagreement between myself and a friend of mine *cough* oniram *cough* as to a technique I used to create a normal map. The technique I used is to add floating pieces. I had seen this be extremely effective on other normal maps so I figured, "why wouldn't it work with bigger objects?" because in… -
Odd 3DSMax Biped Issue
Ok, I've noticed this problem before, but I've never had so much trouble with this issue as I've had with this latest animation I was trying. It's easier if I show a picture than explain it myself: Note the torso being completely offset so that it's moved forward and overlapping the pelvis. This is my issue... when I… -
Any way to transfer explicit normals to smoothing groups in 3dsmax?
Hey all! I'm having a bit of an issue dealing with Maya fbxes imported into Max. Meshes from Maya come in with explicit normals instead of smoothing groups, but the only way I know to change that essentially removes all smoothing info and I have to start over with smoothing groups. I would like to avoid this and find a way… -
Low poly hard surface automatic unwrapping plugins, do they exist? (3dsmax)
Hi I'm currently working on a low poly game and a lot of the models are hard surface, even the organics are very blocky. Unwrapping the models is becoming a bit of a chore and I'm just looking to improve my efficiency. I don't use pelt mapping because my models are very blocky so I've been finding it a lot easier to just… -
Working with symmetry on non-symmetrical mesh - 3DSMax?
I was wondering if anybody knew of a way, inside 3DS Max, to duplicate the changes I make from one side of the model, on a mesh which isn't totally symmetrical? I have some low poly characters which I would like to tweak slightly, and it would be great to have the changes I make on one side propogate to the other. Because… -

Hello folks! I have a model that i shaded with the Xoliul Viewport Shader in 3ds max with some lights set up, and i want to render a 6 second turn table of the model with this shader and lighting set up applied.

What is the best method for (Textures/Decals) with alphas in 3Dsmax?
I am texturing a hard surface modeled figure and want to add decals in a separate layer (Graphics etc). What is the best method for adding the decals? I know I have to use to Bitmap inputs (One for the image RGB with the pre-multiplied option disabled) and one for the Alpha (With Mono Channel Output on Alpha). Then use the… -
3DSmax pivot not working in editable poly, almost Impossible to model anything
Hello, I got a HUGE problem (I don't know if the problem is that use, but I almost can't model anything anymore) thanks to this. My pivot is acting REALLY weird. I tried to google it but unfortunate, no luck. I added 2 pictures to show the problem. In one of the pictures the pivot is flat (almost 2D) and in the other, its… -
Re: Blueprint Help :(
Are your images of the correct proportions? Did you manipulate them in Photoshop properly.
