I did use this material for the windscreens (separate objects) however I have no idea what setting I altered to make it so new polys created on my main red car poly body use this material. Any idea what's happening? ]]> 3d studio max Scourgewarper http://www.enjoycg.com/forums/3d-studio-max/3839-new-polys-grey.html Competitions Win copies of 3ds Max http://www.enjoycg.com/forums/industry-news/3838-win-copies-3ds-max.html Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:40:30 GMT Win Copies of 3ds Max

Quote:

Autodesk 3ds Max has always made it possible to create stunning 3D imagery in less time, whether you work in architectural visualisation, games or visual effects. But now it offers you twice the flexibility: earlier this year, Autodesk launched two new editions of its modelling, rendering and animation software specially tailored for different types of user.

The 3ds Max 2009 Design edition offers a focused solution for architects, designers and visualisation professionals. In addition to the new Exposure lighting-analysis toolset, important for analysing indoor environmental quality for requirements such as LEED 8.1 certification, the software provides a range of industry-focused tutorials, and an intuitive user interface.

Users who prefer the original interface and default settings can choose 3ds Max 2009. Both editions of the software offer the new Reveal interactive rendering toolset; improved interoperability with industry-standard products such as Revit; the real-world ProMaterials library; and additional time-saving
UV mapping, character rigging and animation workflows.

3ds Max is used by visualisation studios such as Spine3D, Armstrong White and Ateliers Jean Nouvel; by games developers such as Ubisoft, BioWare and Epic Games; and by VFX houses such as the Emmy Award-winning Digital Dimension. The software offers close interoperability with Autodesks other products, including Maya, MotionBuilder, Mudbox and AutoCAD. For more information, visit Autodesk's website.

I know we already got a lot of Links to texture sites, but I thought about building up a texture and reference library here at ECG. Why do I want to do this? I made the experience that the things I´m searching for if I have to compose a texture are hard to find on the net with the high amount of details I want them to have. For example a rusty door, you can find lot´s of pictures showing a rusty door but they are mostly in bad resolutions or the part you are interested in is to small to be good visible. My approach would be to make shots of the surrounding of the object of interest (to see how the weather and other things can influence it) and close ups of the parts that seem interesting. If anyone would need parts of the picture that are not there I could take some time and make some nice close ups. But before I start making me too many thought I just want to know if there is any interest from your side in this project and if some of you would like to help building it up.

I plan on going back and redoing the arms because they just don't sit right with me. Especially the thumb. :thumbs: and then i might go back and do some more material fidgeting. ultimately, I want to have him busting through a brick wall like he did in the 80's commercials.... maybe an ink 'n paint shader would be more suited... still gotta play around with it.

Whilst in edit poly mode I pressed t to go top view but instead it tesselated my object. The other viewport shortcuts don't work either. Has anyone else come across or experienced this? Is there a way to revert this or is this just a quirk of the edit poly modifier as opposed to converting to editable poly? ]]> 3d studio max Scourgewarper http://www.enjoycg.com/forums/3d-studio-max/3831-weird-viewport-quirk-when-using-edit-poly-modifier.html Uv mapping, flatten mapping not working properly? http://www.enjoycg.com/forums/3d-studio-max/3830-uv-mapping-flatten-mapping-not-working-properly.html Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:15:21 GMT hey guys, currently I´m in uv mapping a lot of models and encountered a problem with flatten mapping. I think all parts should be flattened like if I used planar mapping. But the ends of my cylinders are not completely round they look like scaled down in one direction. Is there any way to fix this? I use default values and all the boxes are unchecked. Regards, Stephael hey guys,
