[Sjokkels]

@roflman87 Same problem here!

[garrette2010]

great video...thanx :)

[MrJakobSteinn]

To maxmize the selected viewport press alt+W or command+W (on mac). Like this so people can get a faster workflow, which leads to a better learning-curve (:

[COMPUTERSORANU]

great



[KyotifulJet12]

thumbs up if your mouse is the same color as his xD

[koddddddi]

where can i download some materials?

[mtanasas]

your explanation is good but this is really hard when you are using the 2012 version

[Auktoriserad]

How do i set the space units in 3ds max to meters. so I can build real proportion ,but in smaller scale, objects ??

[TiMickQC]

@Auktoriserad You go into the ''Customize'' panel on your interface and select ''Units Setup''. There you can decide in what units your world will be based on.

[Auktoriserad]

@TiMickQC Thank you!

[dammallnamestacken]

to see the exact tabs that he sees just click that button next to the name and switch to standard

[masrozizamroni]

good

[puschel2011]

The Spline Editor are very cool and usefull! I hope there are some Tips about making fine Mats with Photoshop and explaing blinn and phong stuff.

[coolconvertible999]

REALLY good videos. Thanks heaps!

[Serowy]

Thanks for tutorial, internet is awsome there is so much people who spares their time to help other peoples!

[TsheringJhana]

Awesome.. I like it and keep it up.

[Tatorox1]

am i the only one that noticed that he really likes pink? Bang! lol

[BLACKBEAST9000]

hey i have a problem my move tool doent have those yellow, green and blue cones in the y,z and x axis and also the ball which appear when rotating also doesn't come can you why does this happen and tell me how to solve this plz

[Scelenaarwen]

DAMM IT!!! stupid 3ds max 2012 has absolutley NOTHING in common with this.. infact comparing the two... this version look simpler and easier to use...

[Sc2mapper117]

@Scelenaarwen Make sure you turn on the compact view. The 2012 uses a bigger view by default, but you can change it back to this one if you would like.

[Scelenaarwen]

@Sc2mapper117 tnx .. but where is that compact view option?

[Sjokkels]

@Sc2mapper117 Okay, but where is that compact view button? Thanks though!

[BritishAirwaycaptain]

Your tutorials are fucking shit bashface!!

[hagen552]

What material tools would I need to use to give the illusion that something is made of sand? I'm still pretty new to 3Ds max and I'm trying to get this project done very soon, so I don't have time to fool around with it right now. Could you please help me out? Thanks.

[TheAwsomniss]

how do u preview a render? can someone help??

[ExhaustedPenguin]

Opacity = Transparency?

[TheNetau]

@ExhaustedPenguin yup

[avarnau]

@ExhaustedPenguin

Ha, no. It literally means the OPPOSITE of transparency.

[legofan2234]

@ExhaustedPenguin

Opacity=opposite of transparency

An object that has 25% Opacity has 75% Transparency

[texicwaste]

why does flat mirror show as incompatible? I set the material editor to standard like yours, but can't get the flat mirror. help.

[SouhaiLSnake]

I don't have Flat Mirror, what should i do plz ?

[texicwaste]

@SouhaiLSnake ........hit the incompatible button. highlight the selection ( ball) and drag it to the plane. then the plane will turn the color of the ball you selected ( the 2nd ball). now, the reflection will show when you render. I had to figure that out , but the flat mirror still shows as incompatible in the editor. when you hit the incompatible button, the flat mirror will show as greyed out. hit it anyway, and you will get the dialog box for it. it works, but in a weird way.

[SouhaiLSnake]

@texicwaste Thank you so much man ! :)

[quarks55555]

i cant apply maps to the objects ...what should i do??????????



[Education0style]

Hey dude can you put some auto desk Maya 2011 Tutorials

[andriuks255]

you inspired me in to doing this.thank you

[Ashitaka255]

It's not working for me. When I apply the mirror map to the plane the plane disappears from the view port and when I render only the ball is visible.

[RoflGamingZ]

Anyone who can tell me, why my material doesn't show up in the viewport? but only in the render?

So i can see the color in the view port, but things like opacity is only shown in the render...

[Anon21560]

I followed the steps and it doesnt let me apply the flat mirror map to the plane?

[bootywarrior1]

dang i have 3ds 2012 and its a whole new layout

[Ashitaka255]

@bootywarrior1 change to compact mode, check the options on the top.

[xfastuser]

the best tt

[julioclau]

I love you man

[DBZisthebestanimever]

he says wire funny like in his computer building tutorial

[VorucPro]

Thanks ma,n really nice explaining :D

[Fancyx0x0]

hmmm ..anybody else cant find flat mirror, or do I just need a cigerette?

[niklas2009bn]

@Fancyx0x0 me too

[megadudeley]

when he said "let's go ahead and make a plane" i expected an F-15 :3

[pijanykrolik]

damn, i have the 2012 ver of 3ds max and the material editor is called slate material editor and it very differs to the one shown in this tutorial ... any suggestions? ( and yes, this is what i get after i press M )

[MrAllarN]

@pijanykrolik I don't remember how i did it but i changed mine back to the way he's using it, so its possible :)

[pijanykrolik]

@MrAllarN i know. I changed it yesterday and even posted a comment in tutorial no. 15 how to change it back. Thanks for the reply :)

[TheFrankenstajn]

man teach to make car models ;)

[xelioth]

no wammy, no wammy, no wammmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­y STOP!!

[Oceanic180]

Autodesk has their own tutorials...but yours keep me awake, so great work :)

[Writhes]

Specular does not increase brightness. Brightness is simply a result higher specularity when light is shining on something.

Specular increases light reflection so naturally in an environment with light it will make the object appear brighter. However, if there is no light specular will do nothing because there is no light to reflect.

[MrPwnstar007]

My Materials UI is completely different to yours i have the 2011 version of 3Ds Max so this didnt help :(

But thank you for uploading and sharing these videos your previous Tutorials did infact help me alot and i dont think i would have ever been able to work all this stuff out myself so thank you =)

[mauayalaa]

@MrPwnstar007 Ihad the same problem, You see the Slate Material Editor, You can change it bu clicking on an icon just below help button, its a little ball, click and drag down. you should find it, if now, heres a Autodesk Link and you can see how to do it.

[MrPwnstar007]

@mauayalaa thanks dude i found it =D

[SirDaniel2908]

[awallace0523]

I love your tutorials man, just decided to dive into max after working with maya for the past 2 years, you are the best.

[L4DWonton]

The little pointers used to move the object in a single direction dissapeared after I accidentally pressed something. Any way to restore them?

[traftfrost]

I really respect this tutorials. Thank U! :)

[PhibeRCoRe]

[xavierx93]

[kkscoree]

[murderedboy]

fap fap fap fap fap fap fap too good of a video and too good of a voice.

fap fap fap fap fap fap fap

[greekpanther1]

@murderedboy ur such a gay

[soju69jinro]

this tutorial is soo much better than the actual render video from the main site...

and you.... "thenewboston" know how to teach amateur style, and less formality.

[Mark07oiu]

how do i add an image to an object so that appears on the object, yet does not cover the whole object like a map? e.g i have made a barrel object in 3ds max and want to add a nuclear waste sign to it., i have searched the net and cant find info on how to do this, thanks.

[beauregardie]

U ROCK!!!

[xrhstos3000]

I also do not have so much options like you! I can not find "flat mirror" why??

[xrhstos3000]

I can not see the "Shader Basic Parameters" and the "Blinn Basic Parameters" tabs on the maps. Why I can not and how I will be able to see them???

[JKnackstedt89]

@xrhstos3000 you have to set it to standard, try copying his screen exactly

[madeinjm]

@xrhstos3000

your resolution is perhaps too low to saw everything. got the same problem with old computer

[niklas2009bn]

@xrhstos3000 i had same problem so maybe this will help you out ! first of all go up left at modes and select compact material editor so now you have the same iderface menu as shows at tutorial .next thing somewhere at the middle there is a button "show and result" under this there is an other button thats the materials category that should say "stadard"if not press it .it will pop up an other menu at the top search for standard and double click .Now it will show you shader par. and blin

[BraveLittIeToaster]

@xrhstos3000 see where it says "01 - Default" and then the button says "standard"? your's probably doesn't say standard. click it and change it to that.

[dehBix]

Whenever I apply a material(jpeg) when I rotate a shape the material doesnt stick to it, the material doesnt move.

[RandomArrictine]

how did they do the animations with backgrounds? For example, those disney animated movies? After creating their characters and finishing the animation, how do they apply the backgrounds?

[cavejelly]

Thanks for the effort, but that was almost painful to watch.

[USMCMarine]

great tutorials, just came to me that the authors voice sounds a little bit like the character "Morgan" from the TV show 'Chuck'

[oswaldokayo]

Hi, about Flat Mirror, it work only with the Plane?

I test it with the box, but didn't  refleted as a mirror. thank for all

[angrywowman]

Can't get reflect to work...I must have missed a step dude. Click on maps, check on reflection box, then flat mirror, drag the material onto plane but nothing shows in the render

[LesPaulGoth]

Your tutorials are awesome!! Keep up the good work dude!

[Zombiepwnage117]

how do you change the the background theme of when you render these as a video?

[maw88ify]

You can also set it to always render the perspective view, that way you do have to select the correct window over and over, it saves more time. To set 3ds max to have that black just look under customize you can change the UI however I really don't like it in black it makes it hard to fallow tutorials.

[reventonmax8]

mine doesnt have flat mirror :S

[eaglevp]

great tuts

[Zac89nG]

i want to be a black...just like you.

[Zac89nG]

how to change the theme of the program, becouse my theme is [grey].

[Gennady100]

smexy

[fart776]

i like his old videos

[thenewboston]

why?

[fart776]

because it was not just about 3d max.

I didn't know what 3d max was, before i saw your

videos. one of your old good videos is how to build a computer. I that,s how I i built a computer

[hoyun]

your reason make no sense at all. What do you mean? Are you expecting to see a pc building tutorial in a 3ds max tutorial??

[leafblowinSK8]

@thenewboston WHY ARENT YOU MAKING MORE 3Ds TUTORIALS cause i need more but these are still AWESOME :D

[TeTRoSeX]

now this one is old too :)

[fart776]

@thenewboston idk man idk its a common thing on youtube people change

[zimukassz]

@thenewboston because in newer vids he did not understand anything XD

[Adeptmind]

@fart776 yeah, why?

[JESUSISAMERICAN7328]
