I have a few custom scripts on toolbars which I line up together and handily sit to the right of the viewport. However each time I load max they aren't loaded and I need to open them again and reposition them. I have placed them where I want and saved them in my maxstart file but they still don't load. Is there a way to…
I'm wondering if there is a plugin for Max that will convert a mesh to convex shapes automatically. Basically draw edges along any face so long as its 90 degrees or less and close off each new shape automatically. There's a lot of engines out there that only allow for convex collision meshes. Something like this one be…
Hello guys, I mainly use xsi and Im transferring to 3ds max. Does anyone know how to delete multiple edges properly. It seems that when I do delete edges in max, the vertices for those edges remain? Also how can I select multiple edges at the same time from one side to another, I'm not referring to edgeloop selection with…
Hey all, Quick (I hope) question. Is there a way to change the pivot of a bone in max to have it look down the 4 axis at the next bone in the chain? I seem to be drawing a blank here, I try adjusting the pivot, but the bone follows. This is fairly easy to accomplish while building a rig in maya, but seem to be stumped here…
Hey guys! This is going to be a thread I'll keep adding too in my quest to setup my 3DS Max shortcut's for maximum efficiency (and I'm off to a bad start). First off: - Where can I find the option to remap the delete key and change view keys. - The "Keyboard Shortcut Overide Toggle" always causes issues. So I'm planning on…
Hey all! So I've run into another issue with max 2011 where "group" beveling two faces doesn't work like it used to in 2010. Before if I selected two faces from two different meshes that I had attached and chose "group" from the drop down, it would group those faces together and create one bevel. Now however as you can see…
Main Menu > Customize > Customize UI > Keyboard tab > Group: Editable Poly Click on "Edit Triangulation Mode" in the list. In the Hotkey box, type a hotkey and click assign. To make sure the hotkey sticks you should close max and re-open. If max crashes or fails to close properly then it won't be able to write the hotkeys…
If you are in a sub-menu (as in vert mode, edge mode) where those keys mean something different than those commands override the max defaults. YOu can go though the Customize UI menu and remove the duplicates for those commands making them the only bind for those keys. Or... You can turn off "keyboard shortcut override" it…
For some odd reason my UVs can't seem to target weld or weld selected UVs in the UV editor of Max 8 now. Anybody ever run into this or know a solution. I've set my weld threshhold high, made sure there's no hidden geometry, reinstalled max, made sure i was up to using service pack 3 and still can't seem to get it to work.…
I'm using 3ds Max with a Wacom tablet and the navigation is kind of frustrating. It's solely because the zoom sensitivity seems to be set with no tools to adjust. If I use a mouse, I can increase or decrease the sensitivity, but it doesn't apply those settings to a tablet. That leaves me in situations where if I'm trying…
