3Ds Max Tutorial - 18 - Compound Materials

[JSheesh33]

this dude owns. 

[slangman89]

Those tutorials are 1000 times better than my awful University lecturer, teaching 3D Animation.

[devilazpl]

if i were a gay... i would hv married you...

[psycicmindpowers]

So I make the cube, turn it into editable poly, set I.D.s, select Multi/Sub-Object, then when I get to teh Multi/Sub Basic Parameters screen the tabs under sub-Material all say none. When I click on them It takes me back to the material map browser HELP!!!

[SpeakerFrequer]

@psycicmindpowers I'm having the same issue and I cant figure it out... been at it for about an hour now. Did you end up finding a solution?

[borysmilosz]

@psycicmindpowers In that material/map browser it takes you to after you click "None", there should be Standard in the list. I'm a beginner in 3ds Max myself, but i believe this is the right solution, as that's what fixed the problem for me.

[roflman87]

@borysmilosz worked for me, thnx man u saved my screen coz i was gonna punch it and probably shoot it too..

[mckevstah1]

@borysmilosz Thank you! i Guess it is because we are using 2012 edition?

Either way, if you are having trouble finding it, he's right. Click standard!

[ChrisWelldone]

this is sooooooooooooooo much easier than friggin blender!

[fatality583]

U AINT WRONGE WHEN U SAID IN THE DESCRIBTION: AWESOME TURTORIAL

[hollowpres]

some one missed the like button >.<

[Sc2mapper117]

For some reason only the first side works for me! ?? Underneath select ID it says No Name - (1) but it doesnt say for the the other sides. Please Help!

[ForNoReason1000]

Um i need serious help here.... my images are loading as colors!!!!! i think i should stick with blender if 3ds is going to pull crap like this. it cant put a simple image eye texture on a eye of my character. i followed exactly what you did... even used the same format. only difference is i had to covert to edible mesh because poly twist up my character. if thats what made the difference of it working.. i want my $3000 back. pity these are good tutorials . this is the only one that didn't work

[Danuxsy]

@ForNoReason1000 shut up and grow up before learning.

[ForNoReason1000]

@Danuxsy sorry , i was very frustrated that day, i contacted auto desk, said my version is fake, i was sold a fake version by a hacker. theirs a lesson to be learn here though, never trust sites that sell another sites program. unfortunately i didn't get a refund of course and now im stuck with a crappy fake program ( i uninstalled it then ran a scan) : (, i had to change my bank details and all, but if it weren't for new Boston i would of never found out my version was a fake. i apologize

[Danuxsy]

@ForNoReason1000 ooh :( i feel bad for you. :((

[ForNoReason1000]

@Danuxsy just be careful, and always check your address your on, check it twice, some trick you by misspelling it in a smart way( eg you tube spelt "youttube") so that it looks as if its right. this hacker no doubt will plot to this 1000's of more people, it would of bought the 3ds itself to manipulate it to its false version.be careful on any site and thank you for sympathy.

[ForNoReason1000]

what format must the picture be... because some dont work and are just retarded if you try to make them render( it picks a random color from the image and renders that). i saw that your images were JPEG but if tried jpeg and.jpg w

[StevenGamingTV]

@ForNoReason1000 watch this: watch?v=x0iRhyZ4axo (pro 3ds max render)

and shut the hell up by seeing the results

[ForNoReason1000]

@StevenGamingTV ive seen the results, you misunderstand me, my version was FAKE! so it didn't work. if mine was REAL this would have worked for sure. ive already apologized for mouthing off.

[StevenGamingTV]

@ForNoReason1000 ahh, okay, I forgive you

keep it up

[ObliviuxProductions]

What is the difference between editable poly and editable mesh? Thanks

[VigilianceAurelious]

@ObliviuxProductions Yea.. ever since I finished this series and working on something.. I came to thought...

What's the difference between mesh and poly XD

[ForNoReason1000]

@VigilianceAurelious in general poly refers to polygon and a mesh refers to to multipile shapes in one i think....

[cartiertomas]

I've been searching all over the net to loearn how to do this for 2 days now!!! LOVE YOU

thanks a lot!

[crystallyx]

@thenewboston so how exactly would u go about putting an eye texture on your character?

[CoDisafishy]

why do you say 3 ds max? It's pronounced 3 d s max. Not making fun of you or anything but that's not how it's pronounced

[Fancyx0x0]

awesome tutorial ..i just did my victory dance...random!!!

[Brandonisrad18]

Hi, very helpful once again, thank you. I have a question though, see its that in 3Ds max 2011 the material section is a little different than yours. Whenever I double click on Multi/sub object it generates random materia. As in: I try to turn #1 materia into a multi/sub object but instead it turns #'s 66, 67, and 68 into the multi sub object. Its hard to explain =s but i'm forced to just apply those to the object just to get the materia. It works, but it was just odd for me atfirst, is all...

[ckgravity08]

thanks for the video it was really helpful for dummies like me.. ^_^

thanks again!!...

[ckgravity08]

thanks for the video it was really helpfull for dummies like me.. ^_^

[ankitpsp1992]

[vborg101]

@ankitpsp1992 but since ur not ur gonna creep him out instead ? :P

[Draewa]

@ankitpsp1992 I'm a boy and I'd happily marry him

[Brutalitous]

i understand you alot better then my uni tutors lol

[bjsoong]

any idea how to make materials appear without rendering?... im willing to take the risk of lagging

[yira22]

@bjsoong theres a button on the material editor,, its like a checkerboard with a lightbulb ..... the name is show standard map in viewport! :)

[bjsoong]

@yira22 THANK YOU SO MUCH HAHAHAH XD

[hmmMisterhankey]

how to render?

, what to press?

[kolpetra]

Were can i find btms like you have on your tutorial (which is great btw)?

[CrzayMazy]

Sounds like your mouse has a hard time!

[HestonDMC]

Thanks man, I think you are a great teacher. I really enjoy watching ya tutorial

[scroungermattface]

gettin a little scratchy in the voice... starting to sound like brad pitt

[ConsisBarghest]

best teacher ever

[uborkasalatajeno]

<3 you!!

[wish62988]

Hey... why dont i have that command bar where the "id" is? im using 2010 here

[Yialielnu]

@wish62988 It's down there in the same bar, below the Edit geometry tab.

[neonridr]

@ttandc : for that I would recommend learning how to unwrap an object so you can get the UV maps. I would then recommend creating a texture using Photoshop and applying it directly over that UV Map. Sounds a little confusing, but you can watch tutorials on here on how to do it.

[Hvalrosshelvette]

Love your tut's dude, but isnt it just easier to make single defaults and just drag them one by one to the object after isolating them from each other? At least i find it more practical, thnx anyway. =)

[pierrepourchelle]

tahnks for all your videos Man...you rock!

[ttandc]

How would you add multiple materials to the same polygon?

Example: the side door to a race car will have the base colour of say red, then maybe a racing stripe of blue and in the middle would be a white circle with a black border and the cars number on it. How can that be done to the same polygon?

[zhir96]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO I LOVE YOOUUUU!

[Snakebloke]

Have you tried FRAPS or does that only record games? :S

[Ethaninja]

@Snakebloke FRAPS records in any application that has a (media interface?). So things like Video Players, Games, etc. Haven't tested it out for programs like 3DS Max.

[Endearment720]

Wondering why I end up with a million tiles of my picture on my sphere when I render it?

Thank you

[yeghshd]

thx alot works perfectly, if u follow carefully

[wiltaim]

I'm using 2008 version, so far all tuts work great . This time however it only rendered the map on the first side although 3 different maps show in list ..Any suggestions

[eleths]

@wiltaim and the same for me? what's the problem about it?

[yehbe]

how did you do your channel name like that mine is only blue D:

[leafblowinSK8]

HELP DIDNT WORK LOOKS THE SAME IN MATERIAL EDITOR BUT WHEN I APLPLY IT APPLIES THE SAME PIC TO " SIDES, even though i sleected 3 and applied the same techniques, please HELP :D

-A

[leafblowinSK8]

what if you want to stretch a pic that is panorama over 3 plys of a cube HELP IS APPRECIATED :D

[fadsantos01]

thanks

[1tommyboy7]

this helps so much every tuts iv seen b4 yours have been soo boring ty again

[PurpleCl0ver]

i did everything exactly like u done it but when i render it it just comes out gray:| what did i do wrong ...i think there might be some new settings cause im using the new 3ds. can u help me?

[justxaxguitarist]

@PurpleCl0ver I had this same problem but it came out all black

[ekaterinaalexander]

Thank you so much. You explain it so well and I love listening to your voice. You make me laugh. I wished I found your tutorials earlier, the most of the other ones are making me sleep. Great job! Cant wait to see more..

[feat25hakim]

bro what the different of edit mesh n edit poly?

[hallodrijo]

Thanks a lot 4 the tutorials - ultracool

[karlous1]

Just a little plus, you can see the renderable material on the object while in the viewport itself just by toggling ''Show standard map in viewport'' in the material editor window. you probably know about it, just forgot to say it :P but i think its quite usefull.

[jew8900]

That doesn't work here because it's not in "standard" mode, it's in "Multi/Sub-Object" mode, so there are no standard maps to view. It would be nice if you could though :P I'm trying to make a 3d desk that has about 11 different sides showing at once, and I have to re-render every time I apply a new image. PAIN IN THE ASS

[Tribolaz]

Thanks for all these tutorials man, you're a life saver!

[j0aH]

What screen recorder do you use?

[MrHenryJuve]

@j0aH Camtasia Studio, maybe v. 7 ;)

[rarerrac]

@MrHenryJuve yeah he said that in the comments of the last vid

[MrHenryJuve]

@rarerrac yeah but, in some tutorials he used CamStudio.. ;)

[iviot1v4t3]

i cant see poligon subobject menu! =(

[lightfire33]

on the autodesk homepage you can gt it legal and free if you are a student. this goes for all of their programs

[MrSherbert8]

[flyboy12321]

@sammanu13 you can get it for free and legally if your a student and signed up through their student website, i got it for free because im on a FRC robotics team

[Zac89nG]

new tut....YES

[wangkazama]

if you dont want your screen recorder to mess you up when doing right click on objects you should set your system visual style to Vista Basic...... ;)

[TheHackersGambit]

Yay

[DstyloTJ]
