Hello.
Am I allowed to ask questions here aswell?
Anyways, I like to configure my viewports and when ever I reset or start a New session in 3Dmax, the viewportsettings reset. Is there a way to sett the settings permanent?
Thanks in advance.
I really dont know any tips that anyone might not know of, sry.
hi guys wow this thread is so huge
any way i got prob wen using poly modeling(using symetry modifier on stack)and when i collapse the sym modifer i get quad feaces as five edge face it has become iritating while working on huge modles and to do cleaning for extra vertercies
In your Documents folder Max has itâs own folder somewhere, in there thereâs a scene called maxstart.max this is the default file thatâs opened up when you start max.
If you alter this scene and save it, it should work. Be sure to save a backup though.
Hereâs my way of making facial morphs.
Usually we do facial morphs with symmetry modifier, but after that if u want to make unsymmertrical facial it causes big problem due to the unordered vertex number, u will find your model âexplodeâ when u morph.
What I do is collapse a âsymmetryâ model so I have a whole face model, and âmirror instanceâ a single half face model so I have a editable whole face model with a seam in center, and then put a skinwarp on this âsymmetryâ model, so my single half face model can control bothside of my skinwarped model. and then I can turn my skinwarped model into editable poly as new morph target.
After that I can make new unsymmetry facial on one side of my new morph target.
Hope this is useful.
isnât this symmetizing of morph targets made much easier now in max 2010 with some added feature in modelling tools? The skin wrap work around isnt necessary anymiore/ Yippee!
Exploding morph targets is a very old issue in max, iâve tried lots of solutions includind scripts like morphix, but the most confortable solution iâve found is to center the main model and all its targets to the world (x 0 y 0 z 0) then export 'em to the desktop as OBJ or FBX and then import 'em back to the same scene or a new one, thats it! vertex numbers are now reorganized and ready for morph.
Again: Create your half model and use the symetry mod, create all ur morph targets out of this model, you will have the original half with its symetry modifier and the other models the same way, now using the align tool pickâem all and center to the world (if u skip this step uâll have to apply an xform mod to every Morph targ when imported back), now Exportâem to wherever u want as obj or fbx and importâem back, separate and apply the Morph modifier to the imported copy of the original adding all itâs imported morph targets
Voila
Max files open with the wrong version of Max, and Open-With doesnât fix it
In Windows Vista, the âopen withâŚâ command doesnât like to differentiate between programs that have the same filename, even if they are in different folders. This means that if your .max files are opening with max8t and you want them to open with max2009 32 bit, trying to do âopen withâ and navigating to the folder with the correct version has no effect.
This can be alleviated by a simple registry edit. Youâll probably need to log in as an administrator. Just run regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\3dsmax\Shell\Open\Command
Rightclick and modify the entry on the right showing the incorrect directory to run max from, and change it to the correct one, following the existing syntax. In my case, Iâd type:
âC:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\3dsmax.exeâ â%1â
After that, you can change the text it shows at the top when rightclicking on a max file by going up a level in regedit to:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\3dsmax\Shell\Open
and change the value that shows up on the right to have the proper text. In my case, Iâd use the text:
Open with Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 32-bit
If you havenât used regedit before â donât change or delete anything unless youâve verified elsewhere that it isnât going to break anything. if you donât know what youâre doing, find someone who does to help you. Same reason you wouldnât delete your âwindowsâ folder.
dear All,
Is there any suggest about Exporting 3ds max 2009 into wrl including material??
Any suggest would so appreciate âŚ
thanks allâŚ
Hi Daynie,
This isnât really a question answering topic. Itâs for people to post thigns theyâve figured out or come across. If you have a question, do a search to see if itâs been answered before, then if not, create a new topic in the appropriate forum.
To answer your question anyways, If I remember you arenât going to be able to export anything more complicated than a standard material with WRL, and even then it doesnât support most of the material slots. Iâm pretty sure it will do diffuse, opacity, and reflection, and will look at the color and settings youâve set for your specular levels. Overall itâs kind of a weak format and very slow to load. If you have further questions, post a new topic.
Hey
Just right click on viewport navigation tools it will shown viewport configuration
i love u
If you want to render these layers separately, You can use scene states to output each to a different output.
you can also get relative values inside the spinner.
example:
you spinner value is: 10
write: r5 then press enter the result is 15
now write: r-10 the result is 5
Hi,
Click and drag the command panel border which is attached to the viewport for increasing the width. With this you can get more rollouts and options while tweaking your values.

Deleting your 3dsmax.ini will reset your max startup file. It will generate a new âiniâ once you restart max again.
If functions you want are not present in the program
or any other handy script you can find at
http://www.scriptspot.com/
I second this. ScriptSpot is one of my favorite resources to go to when I get frustrated about the lack of a particular feature. Also useful is Maxplugins.de
So how would you do your asymmetrical morph targets? Would you take 1 regular head with symmetry, one edited head with symmetry, and cut apart and combine them? Say for one eyebrow up or down? Thanks!
Donât cut and reattach mesh, or you would destroy the vertex IDs.
Instead, You can use a poly\mesh select on the morph target, in vertex sub mode select the desired part of it.
Go to the object with the morph modifier, pick the target, then in the âChannel Parametersâ rollout > âChannel Settingsâ group , check the âUse Vertex Selectionâ button.
First post of what i hope to be many :wavey:
I just found this out recently I donât know if this has already been posted but hereâs my tip :
when working with edit polys/mesh goto edge selection mode (2), select the edges you donât want then press ctrl + backspace and it removes the edge and the unwanted verts ! saved me lots of time not having to goto those unwanted verts and deleting them manually.
