[Leminator96]

How do you do the 'Quick Planar Map' in 3DS Max 2012?

[jmyjms86]

It's so useful tutorial for me and I know how to create a sky for 3d environment in this way, thanks

[Nastypsychoboy]

Good tut thanks

just crop an image to make it have the same effect as a panorama

[MrSqurk]

The hardest part of this tutorial is finding a panoramic picture. I actually found it easier to go outside and take the picture myself. Thanks for this tutorial.

I get to the part of adding the bitmap to the dome but instead of coming up as one image it comes up as a tiled texture, anyone know why its doing this and how you could change it? cheers

I have made images to add to my 3dmax model, but when i transfer them over to udlk the object is really small. then when i enlarge it the image/skydome gets really blurry(resolution gets blurry). is there any way to fix that?

[EarthSnakeZodiac]

please oh please tell me how did you changed the interface to the old one?... I mean you have the 2010 version but the colors and buttons are like the good old ones from 2009 version.

If you're using Max you can export a .ASE or .FBX. Either will work.

[jimsanim8orstuff]

[combly7]

i have been trying to find something like this for a few months but could never find one. thank you

[jjsuperspy100]

Finally found a video on how to do this and it really helps thxs :)

[sihayconciencia]

Could you specify how it changes in maya? the top of my sky collapses to a point as if it were sucked in. Am I missing something?

[Holyengine]

thank you for your tuto ^^ It's really helpful ^^

[3dmotiveLLC]

No worries. Glad you found it useful!

[gba00united]

Another good way to flip ur poly's is the modifier Shell. But Seriously you helped me out SO MUCH! Thank you, hours and hours of looking for a proper sky tutorial!

[3dmotiveLLC]

Mainly to have fine control over stretching and to use the relax tools.

[3dmotiveLLC]

Yes, the process is very similar with a few differences when it comes to UV mapping in Maya. Cheers!

[BountyHunter762]

hey can I create the skydome through maya with the same process??

thanks

[jaoropeza1]

just wondering if there is a reason why you didnt use the spherical mapping (environment) option in the bitmap instead of usign the uvw unwrap

[1F3RN4L]

But i have a probleme with transition background....

Thinks really !!!

Hello, I'm trying to create a good ocean scene in 3ds max, and it calls for a sky dome, and the first problem I have is not being able to find a good sky panorama. Is there any chance you could send me the one you have there? I don't even need the land in it, I just need sky. I can't find one without a watermark on them, and this is for college. Please help me out.
