No matter what the model is, if I rig it myself, the same thing always seems to occur. Rotating it by nearly any angle, causes sections of the model to stretch outwards, which causes an unnatural look. This error also carries over to external editors. In addition to this issue, animations that originally went with this bone structure do not display correctly either, with areas such as the hands and feat appearing upside down, while the other areas also suffer from the stretching. I've slightly modified the bone structure to fit the new model it should support, which I assume may have something to do with these errors? To ensure that equal distances between the the shifted bones stay intact, I selected both bones opposite to each and moved them via scale. Additionally, it appears as if the only areas that flip upsidedown when pared with the animations are the areas that I used with the scale. Other than that, what could be causing this to occur? I've included two attachments, one pre-rotation, and the other post rotation. Any help solving this would be appreciated, as the only method I know getting the bones to move in opposite directions equally is scaling, and I'd like to fix this without having to re do the current rig if possible. (I'm also aware that the rig you see below may not be the prettiest thing, but I still see no reason why this stretching is occurring) 2013-05-18T09:42:09+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/little-red-square---selected-vertices/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/little-red-square---selected-vertices/page-last/#When:15:01:55Z Hi, I cannot see the little red squares when vertices are selected.

I've been trying to work the problem out for hours, but I can't seem to find the answer. So I was wondering if anyone here could help out. First I start off by making a box, and I just extrude it along the polygons. After I make a completion around I target weld and export it to UDK via .ASE. The problem is that every time I try to see how it looks, the result is a dark black-like color. There's no textures on it, and I tried flipping the normals, nothing has been of any help. It always seem to have a problem after extruding. The first start of the box always have the normal look. I made a small example of what I mean.

I could bring the file exporting from Vectorwork as 3D object, and the model is pretty fine, but the scale is messed. Any idea about how set the scale?

I created some hair with spline emitters... [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-buff.jpg]hair - buffer[/url] ...but I need the hair to be an object, (not just render as geometry,) so in the Hair and Fur (WSM) I use Tools, Convert: Hair -> Mesh. But just like I had rendered it as geometry, it appears without the root-to-tip colors set in the Material Parameters. (Note: the new object [u]does[/u] appear in the viewport as though it has the root-to-tip information, even after adding modifiers... [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-vwprt.jpg]hair object in viewport after adding Cap Holes and TurboSmooth[/url] ...however it has no material of it's own, and if you render it, it renders with the generic Object Color.) Is there any way to get the geometry to render with the root-to-tip colors and/or convert it to a mesh with that information? Wouldn't it have to have that info somehow in order to be able to update in the viewport like that...? I've played with the UVW maps, but I'm not terribly pleased with the results... [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-uvw1.jpg]hair - uvw1[/url] It at least allowed me to vary the strands enough to come up with the following: [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-uvw2.jpg]hair - uvw2[/url] So if that's what I'm stuck with, then so-be-it. It just seems to me that if the information is there in the first place (even after converting to a mesh and updating the viewport) that there should be some way to apply that information. I do admit that my own knowledge of UVW maps isn't great, or at least not good enough to solve this. I know I could try repainting the texture by hand, (and I have...) but there's a couple of reasons preventing this from working. It's also painstaking, and I need a workflow that's a little more definitive for other hair in the future, including long hair. I'm currently using Max 2010, but I'd be willing to hear if there've been any improvements in any newer versions as well. And I've checked with Hair Farm, and their Hairmesh to Poly function does retain the texture automatically (with the UVW's also set up), but it also costs at least $700. (!) Thanks in advance. The spline file is here: [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-spline.max]hair - spline file[/url] You can either use it and click Hair -> Mesh to convert it to an object, or download the object file here: [url=http://jimmycompton.com/hair/hair-obj.max]hair - object file[/url] 2013-04-25T21:18:05+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/view-cube-is-missing/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/view-cube-is-missing/page-last/#When:09:53:56Z Hello, I'm having a bit of an issue with using this software properly on an older computer. The only rendering software the computer is capable of running is OpenGL, not DirectX, which appears to be the default. Apparently, the View Cube will not operate when OpenGL is being used, which prevents me from navigating the scene properly... Would there happen to be a way to have the View Cube display without the use of DirectX? Or do any alternatives to the View Cube exist? 2013-04-19T09:53:56+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/archive-not-working/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/archive-not-working/page-last/#When:18:46:49Z Hi everyone, we need to archive our 3dsmax scene here at work and it never worked.
