[evanescfan]

error here, comes around randomly:

my brush would start behaving strangely,and whenever I pass over my paint, it would get erased.

any ideas? couldn't find anything on google.

3ds max 2012 btw

[WhiteNorthStar1]

great tutorial, excellent tutor... thank you!

[smudgypalms]

Also, why am i getting a retarded mirror effect when i dont even have mirroring selected?

[Dinho0511]

@smudgypalms I guess you didnt unwrap the UVW map.

[smudgypalms]

my brushstrokes are really choppy. is this due to there not being enough polys/subdivisions?

[bertoness77]

Maya the Greatest, XSI the Awsomenest, Lightwave the Beautiest, C4d the Adorable, Blender the Open Minded, Houdini the Masterpiece....

3DSMAX....still.....in my heart......

[gobfather1]

This sucks. Can't paint with normal map showing??

[yogone]

[redfoxarts]

it was 2008 to 2009 since I use 3ds max... now Im like completely new to this... I can't even bring my view port... its grayed.. can't click it... is there a introduction to 3ds max DVD?

[markjason2]

guys i have a problem :( i can't import any avi file to my 3ds max. it give me an error "no driver can handle the file" guyss plss how to fix this problem T_T

[shawnhendriks]

@markjason2 you are probably on a 64 bit version of windows and 3ds max which means you need a 64 bit version of the codec for that video or switch to using the 32 bit version of 3ds max in this instance.

[28LoveYah]

5 persons who dislike is insecure ~!!

[Tlatotoctli]

cool i always hate the uv map process

[lazerusreborn]

@Tlatotoctli you'v still got to uv mate at least in professional design. This is more to fix seams in the texture

[Tlatotoctli]

@lazerusreborn ok thank you i´ll go back to the uv then :s

[MrSkywalker113]

@lazerusreborn If your going to paint in 3D, then why do you need organized 2D maps? All thats needed is the polygons to be scaled correctly in the UV space.

[lazerusreborn]

@MrSkywalker113

Since you need to produce several other maps, while different artists need to be able to use the UV you'v provided. Uv coordinates are loaded into engines for smoothing and other fancy shader setups. So its always better to have a proper UV than a 'Gif' stored Equvilent UV'

[Distrub122334]

were do you get this wonderful tool please responed :D

[gianmarcomontes]

we should group the 3d max user and ask to the autodesk guy to implement FLUIDSSSS

[MrGeorgesWorld]

AMAZING! and doesnt seem so hard to use, as blender, thnaks to you im going to get this! :D

[MegaBrosy]

Please how can I get the sofware 3Dmax?

[Selastrio]

@MegaBrosy you can download this trial ht tp: // usa.autodesk.com /3ds-max /trial/ and try it out and if you like it you might buy it on some website for a cheaper price

[MrRobertel]

Does anyone know where the option "export view" is ? It was available in viewport canvas via 3ds max 2010.

[Feakry]

can anyone make a tutorial for beginer... cause i really noob at this part...

[mccaffreyshawn]

free trial!

[Totano84]

I think i'll switch from Maya..it's driving me nuts!!BTW is it me or the guy's voice sounds EXACTLY like Ben's from Lost? :-)

[TheMightyWumbo]

im learning so much :O

[SaturatedSnailSlime]

EVERY time I try to render an occlusion map my 3ds max stops responding. I have a new computer with great performance so Its not that my computer cannot handle it. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

[toxicraver99]

XD i cant w8 till i get to use this

[danielofthekings]

They Finally jumped on to what Modo what doing! Its about time!

[edwin11373]

@danielofthekings Yes, it was a matter of time. Usually, when a company is at the top of the food change they're always looking at what others are doing and copy any cool technique or technology their competitors have and, beat them, if possible, at their own game. That's the beauty of competition. One wants to out do the other. I believe 3ds Max also copy Maya material node style. Not surprised there. They bought Maya. I like Max but I hope they don't buy Zbrush. Let there be COMPETITION.

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

Where's the colour picker at?! Y'all remembered everything but the colour picker >.<

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

@SupaPoopaScoopa before anyone calls me a dumb-ass, I found it. >.<

Though, I find it catches colours darker than the sampled colour....

[spontanp]

finally :)

[supercomputadora]

nice

[Seano71]

Bodypaint 3d is still better, but its great to see this feature in max at long last

[DLotet]

cool, anywhere i can find out more information of this being useful or just stupid and unnecessary? anyone used it yet? are there any other videos of it out there? I cant find any =(

[alienjoe123]

OMG YOUR MOM LOL

[newtechironop]

this program its hardcore

[jinxhale]

now autodsk will aquire z brush and adobe photo shop too to remove them from competing.

[r4jk3]

@jinxhale they will never be able to purchase PS :>> .. no enough money xDDDDD :>>>>

[siman880]

@r4jk3 even if they did have enough money... adobe would never sell photoshop

[r4jk3]

@siman880 of course... only insane company would do that

[havok3D]

@jinxhale

It's better way than jump like monkey from one program to another. Photoshop Extend can paint on 3D models so, for you opinion, Adobe whan't to remove bodypaint 3D? The program's today needs to move in other ways and been more complicated for whole process of doing CG.

[ironman2556]

CAN'T WAIT TO DOWNLOAD THE DEMO!

[JunglistLoydee]

this is kind of like a zbrush built into 3D studio max i like it!

[Mankkubus]

Some Maya features added o Max

[ALZHEM]

@Mankkubus

And the opposite ;-) And MAX is much more user friendly than Maya :-)

Much better package in general, at least for visualization

(I use MAX, Maya and XSI, by the way... I'm not a fanboy of MAX)

[MjansAnimations]

@ALZHEM well im a max fanboy, but it's with good reason ;)

[goranification]

Wow, It's like a 3D phoyoshop, Autodesk, is one of the biggest companysI ever seen before, "Avatar" was made with Autodesk Programs, powerfull, POWERFULLl!!, With it there is no limits.

[gabbriboys]

no more texturing in photoshop required.......nice

[bobpolygon]

wow ! wow ! wow !.....nothing to say....looks like autodesk marging the photoshop and body paint 3d together with max....great for the game artist....cant wait to get max 2011.

[masterpanos1990]

@bobpolygon u mean download illegaly?cause I heard it costs a small fortune

[6littleMERMAIDS]

@bobpolygon

You can get a free(student) licence for 3 years

goto

students(dot)autodesk(dot)com

and register

[Geoxile]

@6littleMERMAIDS The watermark is only for rendered scenes right? What if I were to export it to a game engine?

[6littleMERMAIDS]

@Geoxile

I dont get a watermark

are you sure you registered right ???

And i exported a model into the unity game engine and it worked fine

Heres a link to the engine:

unity3d(dot)com/unity/download­/

[Geoxile]

@6littleMERMAIDS I was asking for confirmation, thanks

[aireqi9]

GG!!

[PabloFerroDesign]

Man this is f*·#¬&¡/g great! This and the composite feature are a great step for max man!

Merging basic psd interface to the VPT is insane! Seems autodesk just read my mind.

[blackbonexxx]

@PabloFerroDesign I was just thinking the same...I was playing with zbrush and I thought "man it wold be great if max can do this painting" xD and today I saw this :O great feature

[voxpocks]

Viewport Canvas looks great, I'll have to see how it really preforms. Container upgrades, new node based material editor, some improvments to Graphite modeling tools, and the addition of Toxik are all welcome by me.

[MONEYVAL9]

when is 2011 coming out???

wat month and how much is the full package.

i need to make place for this in my monthly budget

[TANC06]

really interesting stuff, having the canvas improvements is something i look foward to playing with

[Raffaeledl]

thats good for all those small companies who cant afford multiple licences etc

[LOLOLWNED]

LOL oCCLUSION FROM LOW POLY MODEL U ARE REALLY PRO...AND WHERES THE TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS?? U JUST HAVE TO EVOLVE NOT SLAP IN SOMETHING OTHER SOFTWARE do BETTER.

[BrittBonhomme]

3ds Max 2011 does include a new feature that lets you save scene files in a format compatible with 3ds Max 2010.

[felixcat1]

Some Mudbox features...

[felixcat1]

Working since 1997 with Max, great!!

[LuciferOuAnge]

That's brilliant! It looks like bodypaint 3d or even photoshop in 3D! Perhaps in the future people will not need UVW maps any more. Great job :-)

[walgoot]

EHM, PLS... do something about your interface!! Its so fucking slow, look at how intuitive modo's interface is.

[jarvart]

Autodesk finally meets Pixologic...Great release, about time too!

[maisounanas]

Guys... Long live MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

you are amazing.

Keep going

MAX for ever

[Theicemonkeyjr]

autodesk, 3d stuido max just get better and better, you guys are brilliant, its hard enough to learn max imagin prgramming it. true brilliance. the best 3d softwear publishers ever

[bharathi3d]
