rhinokey, you would probably get better answers here, as well as lots of tutorials http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/forums/viewcategory/95/ I've used the paint tools successfully so it probably is a hardware problem on your end. I also think the paint tools don't work too well on very high poly stuff. What is very…
In could be that you just needed to increase the weld threshold? Down in the lower right there is a weld setting you can adjust, you might need increase that number so it widened the area it looks for verts to weld. Ahh chuggnuts tools, well that could be a problem if you are using max9? I didn't install chuggnuts tools…
Did some more work on it today. I figured out how collision detection works and brought in a collision mesh. Then I figured out how to use uvmapped textures and imported those, it didnt like .c4d model files though:(. Finally I added some physics objects and messed around with them. Not bad for one days work...compared to…
If a game doesn't let you do a lot of things, it doesn't matter that it looks completely realistic, it will still feel fake. Like walking around Google Maps, just looking at 3D photographs. It would be novel but not really as exciting as you would think. Complete photorealism would need a high level of interaction with the…
i have to say i'm really not a fan of the current PC game. i love the interface, i love how it simplifies everything right down to binary "you can/can not do x" based on the rules written on the card. it makes playing with newbies or younger players easier and is a good gateway to the card game. but i really hate how…
I guess it all depends on what you plan on doing. If you plan on getting a job in the industry you will need to learn Max or Maya at some point if you transition from other apps it doesn't really matter as long as you're confident with how either works when you apply. If you just want to model some low poly, props &…
Hi Davaze, open up notepad now copy and paste this following text (below). Save it, rename the file to MaxRun.ms and move to the startup scripts folder inside 3D Max Program folder or ENU folder (it is a gidden folder), see my location to help find your one(C:\Users\benji\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2016 -…
Crazyeyes, ever tried Modo? Beats every other app I've tried for modeling. Very fast, as for workflow, there's so much customization you can to do to tailor it perfectly to your style. Hands down the most customizable interface. What's most important is what you're used to of course, but if you ever would want to try…
3. lock camera in hierarchy/link info panel. Also you could find Shift+Z a convenient option to undo perspective viewport changing. Probably you wouldn't need camera at all. Also you can set home view in view cube right click menu. You can change mouse navigation in customize >customize user interface>mouse 4. you can make…
Joining to people with 3... "1080p + 1440p + 1080p 4life.." I have a similar setup and it helps a lot with not having to put things behind each other. I also like the huge workspace. On one of them I can put references, and use the 2 another with Unreal or Substance Designer. It is indeed expensive but depending on what…
