Re: 3ds max 2015 vs 2016 vs 2017
Max 2016 SP3 for the stability - but Max 2017 for the speed. But as others have already said, Max 2017 needs a SP2 to become usable. I would'nt want to go back to Max 2013 ( mostly because of huge performance improvements you will miss ). Previously i favoured Max 2014 by any means, but now it's the same with Max2016 for… -

Exporting FBX from Maya to MAX
I have a mesh that I've baked normals onto but when I export from Maya and import to MAX, the normals are universally hardened. I feel pretty confident that I'm exporting and importing with the correct boxes ticked? Also of note is that the engineering tools are designed for MAX 2012 so I'm stuck using MAX 2012 and Maya… -
Goz --> 3ds Max, nothing happens!
Hi all, I'm having trouble getting GoZ to work with Max after I updated to ZB4r4. I remember it working before and I haven't updated Max.

Re: what exactly is an environmental map?
Squid cube mapping can be used as a reflection map but not all environment maps have to be done that way. Like others said in the thread an enviornment map is just an image that is used to create reflections. Per128 and Eric explained how the software wraps this image around the scene to create the illusion of real… -
Re: Has anybody ever accomplished a GI-type render like this in 3ds Max?
What version of Max are you using? What renderers do you have access to? Is your scene in real-world scale? From my memory of using MR years back it has a decent AO output. Yes, a diffuse pass is just a 100% diffuse shader. Multiplying the AO in post as a layer will give you more control. With Vray dirt map you can nest… -

ImpressObjects, new plugin for 3ds Max
Any Max users out there might want to take a look at my new plugin, which allows two intersecting meshes to be pressed against one another so that their respective vertices do not overlap. (In simpler terms, it squishes them against each other.) The free version of ImpressObjects can be downloaded here:… -
Maya or Max for Environmental Modeling
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, it's my first post so I kind of struggled to know where to put it. Feel free to move it where ever is best. Anyway, I've got yet another take on the Max vs. Maya question that's been beaten into the ground. I haven't found an exact answer to this question anywhere so I thought I'd post.…
