3dsmax - tiled alpha issue
I haven't had this happen in a long time and I never knew what it was back then, either. Non tiled alpha displays perfectly fine in my viewports, but there's a distinct alpha seam once they get tiled. I just wanted to know if anyone has had similar issues, and knows how to resolve it. I have viewport alpha set to "BEST". I… -
3DsMax: UV along Splines.
I have lots of cables, ropes, wires, and even gutters in a scene I am working on. These things are already modeled and compressed into Editable Polys. I am wondering, how would I unwrap them, QUICKLY? The textures are small (some only 64^2), and need to repeat along the shape. Any suggestions? I seems like a basic thing… -
3dsmax 2014 normals bug
Hey folks, First of all - I'm a crusty old seadog and I know all about normals so please don't hassle me about smoothing groups and so on. :) I think there's a bug in max 2014 where tangent basis gets messed with somewhat randomly. I can get a situation where adding edit normals modifier temporarily fixes up the TBN… -
[3dsmax] Picking an specific RGB color for transparency?
Hello guys I'm working on a low end game (DS) and we use indexed bitmaps for textures, where the first color slot is used by the engine as 100% transparent. Is there any way to configure the opacity slot in max to use an specific RGB color as transparency? I'm really tired of creating 1-bit alpha maps only for viewing my… -
Vertex color invisible with mirrored UVs (3DSMax)
Is there a way to get both mirrored (in Materials Bitmap Coordinates) UVs and vertex color to show up at the same time? Any time I turn on mirror the vertex colors become invisible, but reappear if it's disabled. I'm running Max2012 SP2. Edit: Figured it out; If you turn on "texture display" in an applied VertexPaint… -

Question about rendering and colour [3dsmax]

But I need to render these models to have a low dynamic colour range (Only darker on edges of the model) I'm pretty new to using rendering techniques. So I have a hard time figuring this out.… -
How can I connect two shapes with a mesh? - 3dsmax
Hello, I have two rectangular shapes with corners, and I need to connect them with a mesh like this: In this case I used the Terrain compound object, but I had to convert the mesh to Editable Mesh and delete the faces inside the green shape. Is there a modifier or object type that can connect these shapes? Thanks! -
Re: 3DSMax-to-Maya FBX Scale issues
Stumbled across a fix for this. Changing the import/export settings of the FBX plugin never did yield a workable solution. The easy fix was to change my MAX system units to centimeters. This workaround was described in the Autodesk FBX plugin documentation, under the Troubleshooting section:… -
Assign random material colour to sub-object? (3dsmax)
Hi does anyone know of a way to randomly assign a colour material to sub-objects or objects in a scene? e.g you have a lot of bricks and then each one gets a random colour (that way when it comes to texturing you can bake a diffuse map and have control over slight colour variations) sorry if i havent explained it well…
