Smoothing groups are awesome for high poly modeling prototyping. You just select the faces, give diff smoothing groups, apply a meshsmooth set to smoothing groups and voila you have a blockout that you can edit in realtime that will hold well once smoothed again. I cant honestly think of a better and faster way than doing…
Hey Everyone, TL;DR : Bounding boxes are stuck on one of my models and when I collapse the modifiers into an editable poly the model gets messed up. I have been working on projects over break to build my portfolio. Unfortunately I ran into a problem and the issues just kept growing. It started when I was trying to adjust…

Didn't know how layers worked other than that one was on top of the other and you can't see the bottom layers through the top one. Now I know theres a…
I appreciate the feedback but am having a little difficulty understanding your input. For example the pizzabox being all bloody and detailed would be over the top right as opposed to the minimalistic menu correct? I thought the player would see the art first and easily enough locate the menu in the lower left corner due to…
1) Nope. 2) Not inside of 3dsmax, I wish it was. The closes you can get is to select overlapping faces.

I use 'M' to activate the tweak component tool, then 'L' to toggle it into welding mode. Alternatively from F1 (searched 'welding'): You can weld pairs of points interactively while using the Weld Point tool. Alternatively, you can weld pairs of points interactively by pressing Alt while using the Move Point tool. …
