Apparently, Layer drop down menu is easily transferred between floating to main toolbar. I notice that only Selection Sets drop down gonna "corrupted" when you try to move it (alt+drag) somewhere else and to restore it back you need to load the default UI. Hope Autodesk fix this issues in the next hotfix/ service pack.…
I don't have a 4K screen myself, so my solution might not be a solution to what you are experiencing. On the other hand, this video was posted by Autodesk themselves. Hopefully this solves it for you: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/3ds-max-2017-support-for-4k-displays/td-p/6282573…
Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 2010 is a pure 2D application, but has a lot of new and very smart tools to help you draw geometry in perspective like "Straight Edge Ruler" that allows to draw perfect perspective lines in no time and "Elliptical Ruler" that makes ellipses drawing in perspective very easy. You can view some videos…
Have you tried the "performance settings" options yet? Try the "Refresh on Release" setting. Window > Settings/Preferences > Performance Settings > "Refresh on Release". However, hopefully u would not need to settle with a buggy viewport 2.0 environment. ( have you researched your card and drivers? ) Perhaps Autodesk will…
@p3r4app01 Autodesk has an educational licence that is 100% free. http://students.autodesk.com/ You just need a .edu email address. If you don't have one, ask a friend that does, or start school. Piracy is a very touchy subject as you can now see, next time ask hows the best way to get software instead of assuming piracy…
If you have a school email account, you can get free versions of all Autodesk products. More free programs: Blender Houdini Nuke Krita Xnormal Krita Lots of other programs you can get for really cheap around Christmas on Steam (Substance, 3DCoat, etc.) You can also get free training from various sites.
Short answer: Nope. Longer answer: Viewport canvas will only display the thing you are painting. There are some other methods using custom shaders but they might not work with newer versions. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1672714#post1672714 I'm not really sure why autodesk hasn't updated max so this kind…
I thought it was a plugin for Autodesk Sketchbook Pro when I first watched the video. Same clean interface with the tools and layers and the like on their own windows and the round menu. Did Sketchbook Pro inspire the interface? Sculpting lineart like that however sets this tool way apart from any other program i've seen.…
Agree Pior, it's really disappointing there hasn't been more (any) activity in the community with CGFX shaders in Mud. I guess its because most people in game dev use zbrush (or so it seems). I wish Autodesk would have refined the example CGFX shader to make it useable for painting normal mapped assets with smoothing…
Also, on the subject of student software. Autodesk do a great package for upgrading from student licenses to full licenses upon graduation. They don't advertise it very clearly on their website, but I know here in the UK when I spoke to my reseller, it was like £400 for the Entertainment Creation Suite (Maya/Max,…
