I have a feeling it's got something to do with reflections, but I'm not certain. I'm quite new to 3DS Max, so sorry if it's a silly mistake, but take a look at the image below. http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/7320/3dsmaxpaletexture.jpg As you can see, my textures are very pale, it's meant to look much darker than that, why would this be happening?[/size] 2012-02-09T14:14:46+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/-how-to-do-this/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/-how-to-do-this/page-last/#When:21:12:53Z hi guys how can i achieve a good intersection of both these parts so i have then meet at the correct angle. after they crossed am pretty much stumped.

When I imported it, in the Import Options box, I played with Auto Smooth and Curve Steps and it didn't seem to help. Thank you for any assistance.

It'll start off as a low quad polygon. But for details what should I do go to Zbrush3 or start screwing with 3dsmax9. If Zbrush3 is the answer, then will I still be able to animate the model in 3ds max9 or no? Also I would like some non-nude 3-view male models, real would be preferable 2012-02-05T05:09:30+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/weird-box-modelling-issue/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/weird-box-modelling-issue/page-last/#When:19:11:17Z How can I make these sharp shaped cuts in a smooth model? Besides boolean, how would I start making the back of the psvita for example? It seems like a champher cylinder that has been "bitten". Show me a way how to approach this plz. thanx 2012-02-04T19:11:17+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/foliagebushshrubs-what-can-i-do-to-make-these/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/foliagebushshrubs-what-can-i-do-to-make-these/page-last/#When:16:31:40Z hey so im in my first year at uni, my scene is set in a forest. we are on a texturing assignment and it has to be stylised, so no photo realistic looking things. at the moment i just have planes with bushes on that i modified in photoshop and opacity maps, to me it looks ok i guess but i was wondering what else i could do to make some bushes/shrubs. i tried to experiment with particle flow but im not really sure how to make the leaves sit properly, like they always just rest on the object, rather than sticking out from base of the leaf. does anyone know any good tutorials for this that i could get ideas from? or anyone on here ever make some nice foliage? when i google this, i pretty much find nothing :( thanks 2012-02-02T16:31:40+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/how-do-you-extrude-from-a-face-without-selecting-it-from-the-viewport-solved/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/how-do-you-extrude-from-a-face-without-selecting-it-from-the-viewport-solved/page-last/#When:07:44:04Z Basically I'm asking if it's possible to extrude a face from selecting all the vertices that make up the face. If you just extrude the vertices the effect is undesired. [See First Attached Image] and when you select all the vertices, hold ctrl, and switch to face selection it selects all the adjacent faces, not just the ones that are actually formed by the selected vertices. Basically I would like this [Second Attached Image] To turn into this on Ctrl+4 [Third Attached Image] Not this [Fourth Attached Image] I remember seeing some one do it in a older version of Max, I'm on 2011 right now, is it possible? The help would be much appreciated. 2012-02-02T07:44:04+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/hair-and-fur-not-rendering/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/hair-and-fur-not-rendering/page-last/#When:13:48:46Z I am having trouble with hair and fur im trying to make grass, using the preset for long grass, it shows up in perspective but when i render the hair and fur mod doesnt render at all, everything seems normal but am really stuck any ideas? 2012-01-30T13:48:46+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/set-value-to-vertex-spline/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/modeling/set-value-to-vertex-spline/page-last/#When:14:26:01Z Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to set a value to a multiple vertex selection. Exemple : I have 15 vertex selected with different values on z axis. I want to set all vertex to -100mm for exemple (in one action). 2012-01-29T14:26:01+01:00
