Re: Baking Spec Maps Via Max
hmm I see so editting the materials themselves is pointless, and adding more light into a scene in theory works for a spec map, but the turn around time might just be easier to just bake a simple spec map and then toss on a AO on that and multiply it and then add all aditional spec map effects from there im assuming. hmm I… -
Re: Stormtroopers and Rank...
Very few clones are still alive to become stormtroopers, most of them were recruited in later. Issues with being cloned hastily lead to some kind of degeneration and early death for most of them. Dunno the specifics. As for the clones, they came in several different varieties and levels of training. Commanders, commandos,… -
Re: Best 3dsmax realtime shader atm?
they used to have a sample were you could paint in 3d view and it auto updates texture. that was pre-hlsl stuff when the painter interface was added, but at least in theory the texture is always the same at the end, hlsl or not... re-uploading the texture, while a bit slow if the texture is big, as I dont think they do… -
Re: FBX 3ds Max to Maya triangulation problem !?
This problem exists in 2015 series too. I add Edit Poly modifier and do Export (not Export Selection). For character with skin you need add Edit Poly between "Editable Poly" and "Skin". In FBX export I select M&E preset. Yes, for lower version of FBX, you need select target version software. For example from 3DS MAX 2015… -
Re: What would make your workflow better?
For max 10 it would be handy to to have a script that converts to edit mesh, converts to edit poly, runs an Edit Normals > RESET modifier, Reset Xform 3 times and Collapses all ... you know, just so we could run this at the end of every operation in the grasping for straws hope that the app wouldnt crash so often and the… -

Paint Select / Preview SubObject for UV mode in 3ds max
Hey guys! I need to do a lot of UV mapping lately, with constant editing of UV islands, paired with heavy booleaning which sometimes breaks shells into pieces. So i was wondering is there any Paint Select tools that i can use while editing UV's? Something like Preview SubObject which works great in edit poly mode, but… -
Smoothing Groups Not Updating in Max
I'm trying to change the smoothing groups on this model to get a better bake but they won't update or change at all. I've tried resetting X-Form and deleting the material and a few other things but it won't fix it. The only thing that let me change the smoothing groups and have it show was putting the 3-point shader onto… -
Re: Become more efficient: Free or nearly free app's & websites to help us do our jobs...
Currently I use Google Drive to write documents and keep them available for me wherever I am, without having to remember to copy the files ect. GD have online editors for the files, such as documents, spreadsheet and so on. So you can edit them in your browser, without needing another program for it, which is quite handy.… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: dDo is mega unstable :(
In fact, I just tried again and I can reproduce this crash reliably every time, all I have to do is right-click on one of my masks. EDIT: Sorry you responded too quickly ;) I'll try a new project in 1.8 Edit Edit: New project let's me right-click on masks, if I do find anything else I can reproduce I'm happy to post it…
