Hello everyone, as some of you may know I am pretty new to game modeling and I am currently starting to explore normal mapping in both theory and practice. As for theorie I read stuff on numerous forums, websites, wikis and so on. So I am not fully "Normal Map 101", but some questions I just can't answer myself or I simply…
Yea, they changed that in 2011, it's annoying. There were a few tweaks to the 3dsmax.ini file that you can make, but they only effect new objects not cloned objects. http://www.the-area.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2011/odd-new-renaming-feature-the-extra-zero/page-last/
Hey guys, I have around 600 or so .model files. I already have a .model importer script for max. it only opens files 1 at a time, and does not auto save. what I'm trying to do is open multiple files within a directory and auto save them all in another format. Anyone have a good max script that i could use to integrate…
Hi all, I want to create a low-poly ivy animation, where the ivy/vines grow against a buildings facade. I know of the Ivy generator and Grow FX which can create these animations, but they are too dense in geometry for exporting for use in an Augmented Reality app. I may use Ivy generator for a PNG sequence but on top of…
Hi guy's, I am not new to 3ds max but is there a similar feature to grab the zdepth from a 3d object to use as displacement? I often use rtt in Max but the heightmap even with correct elevation setup in projection do not yield the correct result, it's flat without any relief. Maybe there is a script but so far Googling it…
Hi everyone, I've been experiencing a problem with 3DS Max 2016, and I can't find any info on it. Max likes to ignore keyboard input sometimes. Sometimes it works well, but sometimes it stops. I can't find anything to replicate it, and it only happens on two of my machines at work. Has anyone else experienced anything…
Hi, so i'm a 3ds max user and i'm looking to add Modo to my workflow since it's faster to model in and texturing features. I want to have almost the same hot keys for Modo as in 3ds max. In modo i went into the Input editor and the only way i see changing the hot keys is trough changing the codes in the editor. I can't…
Hey guys, I have a problem rendering my normals properly with 3ds max, usually have no problems with projection in 3ds max. But when doing my projections. It creates those semi-faceted normals basically on the edges of the low poly. And I have no idea why. The realtime render is with xiolul but it does the same thing with…
I'm trying to bake my lightmaps using 3ds max. I have a pretty complex scene, about 150 objects. I unwrapped all of them with an automatic unwrapper , which i have set to channel 2. Now my question is how do i combine the resulting 150 lighmaps, fast and easy but more importantly HOW DO I GET THEM TO SHOW UP IN THE…
Recently I came into a little bit of cash and decided to update some of my old equipment. My purchase you might ask? The fine Logitech MAX Revolution mouse. It's comfortable, it's fun, and has lots of potential for hotkeys and the like. Problem is, I'm not certain how to set them in Max. I tried searching for some threads…
