[11window]

half the tutorial is creating objects

[Hamppzah]

the reflection is in a REALLY low resolution :/ Altho the picture is large. Any help?

[LeoPenguin037]

Thank you

[laycron]

can anyone please help me? when i render the text object using the chrome material, it doesn't look good. the text is plain gray in the middle and the reflections on the edges look like triangular polygons(i did not set a bitmap image as a reflection but just the surrounding objects in the viewport)

can you please help me how to correct my rendering? i appreciate any help. thanks in advance

[diegoguerracortijo]

thank you very much! you help me a lot!!

[walmic839]

[lolik365]

[theforbiddentape]

my reflection is kinda edgy :s what should i do?

[vasbyollu]

How do i get that chrome texture you just used? -.-

[vasbyollu]

How do i get that chrome texture you just used? -.-

[Sheeraz20]

how could i put this into After Effects??

[StupidVids2009]

@Sheeraz20 render as .png file sequence with alpha channel and rgb selected

[Milkshakman]

@Sheeraz20 for 2d, render it, cut it out with PS (make the background transparent) then import it as a jpg or psd. for 3d, you need to export it as a 3d object and use an AAE plugin to import it.

[loquendo2012]

thanks man!!!

[TrunxX69]

I can Only open png? fpr some reaso

[keyman15]

okay how did you render so quickly with that skylight in there?

[magsfilms]

how can you render so quickly?

[Lazyboy0008]

By using a Dolorean time machine, or by pausing video during the render and re-recording afterwards.

[magsfilms]

First way

[madpoener]

That's 3ds Max, just press F9

[playpepii]

can u help me? i have only reflection color and reflection glossines!And i dont have the maps i only have general maps and special purpose maps.....whats wrong with me? ;(

[desertfox2k3]

Hello!! Are you using 3DS Max 2009? That's the version that I'm using and I had the same problem. What you want to do to make your map editer look like his is first: Click on the part where it says Arch+Design and it'll open up the material library. Then, scroll down to the word "Standard" and select that.

[playpepii]

I FOUND IT! REALLY thanks dude! You are cool!

[desertfox2k3]

NO PROB! Glad I can help.

[smallblue700]

When I add raytrace to the material sphere, then click on None and add the landscape, my material won't show the map, it is just 1 solid white color ,

Anyone knows solution?

[desertfox2k3]

goto your render settup and change your renderer from mental ray to default

[SpinDragun]

is there any way i can like cut down on the amount of light the chrome reflects back?

here's why, i have a scene w/ a tractor trailor that needed brazil for chrome. so i took an easy way out. now a lot of extra light seems to b reflected. there were no omni lights, just a lightbox. deleting that made it even brighter. i tried blocking it w/ a plane and no luck there. a darker background didn't help either. so any suggestions?

[Sinwarz]

Thx m8, great tutorial :P

[rainmouse]

This Dave guy does some of the best 3ds max tutorials by far. He always explains what hes doing properly and speaks clearly,  not like some of those those athsmatic guys with a home made microphones that sounds like Marilyn Manson with throat cancer.

My only wish is that he gets one of those addons or scripts that highlights the mouse pointer so its easier to spot.

[joshyboy152]

it looks like andrew kramars..

[supermix1337]

looks like andrew kramers tut :S

[videofxuniverse]

[combatsambonyc]

You sound like a hardcore fanboy of the guys tits.

But, can't you just use chrome material. Just a suggestion.

[sns0710]

Yes but this way looks 100x better.

[jusk2ru]

You know what, actually I totally agree with you! ^_^

[Karza00]

thanks for the video, it was very helpful!!!

[hoi428]

nice tut you got there,

but you add a modifier to the text and it starts with a B( i listened over and over agai) but I just didn;t understood it.

Here is the problem, I only got a modifier with a b called bend, i dont have any others.

how can i get that one as well??

thanks a lot

[videofxuniverse]

go to my website and download the higher quality tutorial you should see better with that, but the modifier i used was bevel its only avaliable to text in the modifier panel

[tooo01]

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD the images that you used

[videofxuniverse]

they come with 3ds max the material libaries named reflective

[tooo01]

no i mean the image that you used as a bitmap

not the materials
