hello there, im new on 3dsmax. there a few question i want to ask.

1.when i’m download model at http://3dmodelfree.com/, and i’m open it, that appears all of the model doesnt have a material. it looks like 3dsmax doesnt know the folder path of material. but when i’m download the file, that file containing .max file and its material? so why the material doesnt loaded automatically?

2.when i’m open .max file that has japanese font name, my 3dsmax cannot open it? why? how i fix it? i’ll try rename it with normal font, but it ends with a model that doesnt have a material? and it’s getting worst, coz all of the material was japanese font name.

pls help me, i’m new on 3dsmax…
sorry for my bad english,
thanks.

Which model did you download?

I just downloaded one at random. It has VRay materials (useless to anyone who doesn’t have VRay) and it mas bitmap paths to a drive which doesn’t exist (here) and there were no materials in the archive.

i’m using vray,i’ve downloaded this one http://www.3dmodelfree.com/models//26226-0.htm, and any other on living room categories. there’s material on it’s pack, and *.max file named with japanese font. i’m must rename to normal font to open it. But when its opened, its looks like all of the model lost its material? i’ve tried to render it, but i’ve got vray error messages “error loading irradiance map” how i fix it?
