3ds max polygon triangulation

[AJ]

Sadly, there is no 'auto-quad' function in Max... The best you can do is to manually delete the offending edges (Poly object), or turn them invisible (Mesh object).

Or - if you know someone with a copy of Maya, get them to perform the brunt of the 'quadding' with it's built in feature - then export as an OBJ back into Max.

This is one of those posts where I'm realy hoping someone will leap in and say "No! You're wrong! Here's the plugin/option" because it's a feature I would love to see!

I would love too a script that deletes diagonal edges of a quad :)

no shit man...max is already 5.0 and yet they still dont have these basic and nesessery features.
Maybe I should write to discreet and tell them that :rolleyes:

Max got true Winged Edges polygons in version 4.
(In the past, everything was triMeshes)

Still, be careful when criticizing stuff you don't know well.
I am sure Maya has lots of things that can be made better,
but I don't know it enough to talk about them... ;)
How many versions did it take A|W to let you create a primitive anywhere your mouse pointer is and not always at 0,0,0 ?
