I almost always have to go to the task manager and force a crash. Looking at thge RAM usage - shows that the program still holds many gigs of RAM "opened". (I already have 2014 installed but haven't moved to it yet.) Anybody else having the same issue? any solutions ?

When I try to import a 3d project made with Autocad 2013 in 3dsMax, it says me that "the drawing you have opened contains custom objects created by unavailable ObjectDBX application. I've tried to download some objects enablers, but it continues not to work. If I try to skip, the model result completely deformed. What could be the problem? Should I try to download 3ds Max 2013? Or does it exist an alternative way do bypass the problem (I already tried with dxf files...) Many thanks 2013-05-22T13:13:14+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/how-do-you-render-a-super-slow-motion-animation/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/how-do-you-render-a-super-slow-motion-animation/page-last/#When:06:11:25Z I have an animation of a wine glass breaking. I simulated it using mass FX and particle flow. I will import it to After Effects, add finishing touches and render out a super slow mo clip like you would see on Discovery HD or Time Warp. In essence, I want it to look like it was shot on a high speed camera. I tried a test render out of max at 960 fps and importing into AE at 25fps but the results aren't quite white I want. My question is, what frame rate do I render the animation out inside 3ds max and what frame rate do I import/interpret it in After Effects? 2013-05-22T06:11:25+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/baking-textures-in-3ds-max-2012---difference-between-baked-diffuse-texture-and-the-original-one/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/baking-textures-in-3ds-max-2012---difference-between-baked-diffuse-texture-and-the-original-one/page-last/#When:13:25:46Z Hello I have a problem with baking diffuse texture in 3ds max 2012 64bit (Windows 7 64bit). I would like to bake a diffuse texture from one object (LOD 0) ,and then, map this texture on an object (LOD 1)... For all LOD 1 objects in the scene i want to create a texture atlas to decrease no. of materials, just for understanding... When mapped on an object, baked diffuse texture looks different than original diffuse texture (looks like the "ambient" colors on baked texture differs from original one). see the attached file please. (dont mind the mapping difference of the wall on the picture) I set my scene like this: my object, a plane underneath this object, light - skylight with default settings. My environment and effects settings are default (shortcut "8" in 3ds max) My gamma settings are default (gamma 2.2) Renderer Default Scanline Render Setup - default settings Render to Texture settings are default. Standard Materials I play with the settings in Render to texture window (lighting, shadows on/off), in Environment and Effects window - global lighting - play with ambient color, also tried to change exposure control, but i didnt reach my goal. Still, baked and original texture look different in the vieport (shaded). Please, could someone give me a hand what to do, what I have to change ? 2013-05-20T13:25:46+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/3ds-max-2012-display-see-through-not-working-troubleshooting---solved/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/3ds-max-2012-display-see-through-not-working-troubleshooting---solved/page-last/#When:13:06:04Z Some people (including me) have a trouble by the display see-through toggle Alt-X are not working. Even when we trying to reconfigure the shortcut, no change are made. I've been googling a lot but the answer are not satisfy. See the attachments pictures, In DisplaySeeThroughCase1a.png & DisplaySeeThroughCase1b.png This had been solved by other in the past. But every time you make a new object, you'll have to repeat the same process. The real answer you'll get are in DisplaySeeThroughCase2.png , as the real problem were in the Preference Setting that make every created new object are default [by layer] ,not [by object]. Trouble are solved by uncheck the box of [Default to By Layer for New Nodes]. 2013-05-20T13:06:04+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/selecting-vertsskin-modifier/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/selecting-vertsskin-modifier/page-last/#When:06:30:16Z Hey! I've applied the skin modifier to my mesh, but every time I click on "Edit Envelopes," my select, rotate, and scale tools grey out - and my move tool is active (no matter which tool I had activated beforehand). I can still paint weights, but the way I prefer to work is to select vertices and use the weight tool. Is there a check box I need to check somewhere? Or uncheck? It seems like a really obvious issue that I'm not seeing.

Thank You.......waiting for reply:-) 2013-05-16T01:41:28+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/anyone-using-vray-need-help/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2012/anyone-using-vray-need-help/page-last/#When:01:28:28Z Need help, Im getting reflections on my walls when rendering.

Thank you......waiting for reply.....:-) 2013-05-15T23:35:13+02:00
