3ds Max Modeling :: Exporting Models With Multiple Textures?
Sep 14, 2013
I was importing a model with 3 materials / textures. And the imported model's fully textured with lighter color textures than the original ones.
And the problem started when I exported the model as .DAE and import it in to Unity, the texture slot (or material slots, I don't know how to call it) was 1 instead of 3 with the original model
And this is the original one Were the animated model's texture maps I imported get merged into 1?
Also, I added an independence sword model, is it's texture map get merge into to big 1 above?

I've unwrapped the uvs and am correcting the texture on a model. The model is essentially a building facade on a plane. The plane has a single large texture of the facade applied to it and that works fine. But I'd like to use another texture for a small area. I went to uvw unwrap> faces, and selected the area. Then I applied proj>planar map with x axis, turned off plane map and went into the UV editor and loaded up the new texture from "pick texture". The uv editor shows it fine. I make the adjustemnts and then leave the uv editor but it's not applying the nex texture in that area, instead it's applying thw whole facade to that small area.

I created a number of models/scenes and applied materials/textures to them using bitmaps that are in another folder.
I then created sub-folders for each of the models/scenes because I wanted to export to .obj and then copied the .max files to those folders. I then opened those .max files and the materials/textures were showing as normal.
I then exported to .obj, so in each sub-folder I then had 1 x .max, 1x .obj & 1 x .mtl files. Problem is that if I now open the original .max files in the normal way, the materials/textures are not showing and a message comes up saying that the bitmap files are missing. I don't understand why this is, seeing as the .mtl files are there in the sub-folders along with the .max & .obj files.

I was given a model and I've decided to try and texture it. The problem I have is that I'd like to try to procedurally texture it first in Max. The object is all one group and I need to somehow separate out different parts for different textures. I thought I would select polys and try grouping them but that doesn't seem to work. The option to group polys is greyed out. So I figure I have to convert selected polys to objects first? I'm not sure of the difference between elements and objects either and I read something about layering...but I'm not sure of terminology or the best place to start.
I did have the idea to uv unwrap, create masks to mask out different areas in Photoshop, and use that in the slate editor as a mask input node, but I really want to keep things within Max if I could.

I downloaded some 3ds models, but I have problem with some of them. Well, I see all objects in the project but when I render, the render box is totally black.

I often create animations for technology companies, and they give me models that were created in programs like alias, rhino, AutoCAD, or solid works. They export for me in IGES, or STEP, and the models, while amazingly intricate, are too much for Maya on my 24GB RAM 12-core machine to take. They take upwards of 20 minutes just to open.
I want to convert these to ploys and generally make them easier to work with. What are my options for making these manageable, and still look good when they render. The flat edges and services are fairly easy to convert, it's the rounded bevels that don't look so good if I convert everything to Polys all at once. And there are usually hundreds of curved surfaces to convert, so doing them one at a time is far too cumbersome to be effective.
Also, how would I go about taking surfaces for objects in joining them together to create a complete object made of Polys? For example, a small part may be made of 35 difference parametric surfaces in solid works, and exports as that in IGES, so when I imported into Maya, it really should be just one object made of Polys.
need to convert parametric cad objects to poly to make them manageable and to make renders faster.

i've modeled a character or two from scratch in max. (nothing spectacular) I also used a character pack a few years ago. I was wanting some info on the best way to model a new character. I would like opinions on zbrush, poser, etc. Something that is very compatible with max.
What is the process that you take when creating a character. Don't feel the neeed to write a book I get the basics. Been out of the game for a while, but very glad to be back. Been playing around with fumefx, houdinni ocean, and ivy lately.

I have a character with UVs created and a texture assigned, now I need to add some additional polys to the character, how can I make sure the new polys I add are also added to the UV set and therefore get the texture map ?

Is there a way to have multiple vertices selected at multiple positions (heights) in the z axis and enter a value of 0 and have all of them jump to 0 in the z axis? Seems like a no brainer to me, but can find a way to do it.

We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.
Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.
Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?
Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?

I created 3D text in Photoshop CS6 and exported the mesh as an obj. I was able to import the obj file directly into 3DS Max 2013, but could not import it into Maya 2013 and 2014, because both versions cited incorrect data. Is this a bug or user error? Obvious workaround is to use Max to re-export, but would prefer to have it work directly in Maya.

I'm having trouble getting mudbox to recognize multiple uv tiles set up in max. To start with I followed Neil's tutorial here: [URL]
So I basically unwrapped my model and moved my UV islands into different 'quadrants' (uv tiles). Q: is this all that is required to set up the tiles correctly?
If I then export this object as an obj or an fbx into mudbox the uv view only shows 1 tile?
basically i want to texture a large landscape in mudbox and 1 4k map wil not cut it, i need to split it up into 4 x 4k maps to get enough res.

I often have to import shapes via illustrator export/import. Then I have to scale all the shapes up to real world 1:1 size.
I typically just grab all objects and use the SCALE tool...but I hear that is actually the WRONG approach?
So I tried scaling all the objects at a sub-object level. i.e. select ONE object, yellow highlight vertex, segment or spline... then scale up.
Is it possible to select multiple/all my shapes and scale up this way? When I select all of them, my modifier stack obviously disables and cannot select via sub-object (vertex, segment or spline level).
I tried grouping. modifier stack disables still. Do I have to ATTACH each one to another (multiple I guess via list?) and then scale all them via SEGMENT level?
Is there a easier/faster way to do lots of objects imported like this...or is this the way to do it?

I would like to know if it's possible to set a value to a multiple vertex selection.
Exemple : I have 15 vertex selected with different values on z axis.
I want to set all vertex to -100mm for exemple (in one action).

I am exporting a design for 3D printing, and it includes multiple objects. If I save each part as a separate STL file, and assemble them in my 3D printer software (Object), the alignment of different parts is lost.
If I save it as a single STL file all the objects are grouped, and I cannot select them individually to assign them different properties.
I am using Autocad 2012 student version, and it does not allow me to select any option at the moment of exporting the files.

I have scoured the net for any Script-Fu or Batch to do this, and only find old code that is no longer good for gimp 2.6. For some absolutely insane reason (as far as I am concerned), gimp has failed time and time again (since their inception) to actually make it available to export multiple images at the same time. I literally have 300 layers, and for me to crop them all and save them as images would take an entire day.
Why hasn't this been made available? Is there any code or anything I can use to accomplish this task in Gimp 2.6? Photoshop allows it, and has since its inception! Why not Gimp? Is it that difficult to create? Are there really no plugins to do this?

I encountered the following problem: wenn exporting multiple files from Lightroom as JPEG files, I get a random error message that Lr couldn't export some of these files. In the Windows explorer these 'half' export files can't be delete unless Lr is closed. After deleting all the export files, reopening Lr and doing another export run, the same problem occurs, but now on other files. This problem seems to happen at random files.

Is there a way (script possibly) to break multiple splines to individual spline objects? More specifically i want to find a quick way, when i have many splines (attached together) to make each spline (spline element) a separate spline (such as selecting it and detaching it). Unfortunately the "explode" command breaks each segment and not spline to an individual object, while selecting and detaching each one is not an option since i have to deal with hundreds or thousands of splines (produces by hair & fur).

I have imported 21 cubes in max for a test. Once imported, max see the 21 cubes in 1 object (see the brackets in the image). I would like to detach the 21 cube from the starting object and center automaticly the pivot point. It's possible to do that without script ?

I need a scatter distribution object like a railroad.
I draw a smooth line, then converted it to spline: using sub-object "spline", i used "Outline" to give it some width. Next step, it was converted to a Editable Poly.
At this moment, if i select its vertices and call "Connect", the result is a zig-zag sequence of edges, which are very difficult to clean-up. Another way, select each pair of vertices to apply connect is similar time consuming...
Maybe the picture aid to show the problem.
How to connect those verts like a railroad??? Or about how to create an appropriate scatter distribution object to this work?

Is it better to texture multiple meshes of a same object as opposed to unwapping and texturing just one mesh and then duplicating the object over and over?
Fox example, I'm working in Maya and I'm modeling a grocery store. And let's say I'm about to texture an isle with bagged snack chips. Do I unwrap every UV from every bag of chips and texture them individually or is it better to unwrap and texture just one bag (mesh) of chips and then duplicate object multuple times to get the whole isle of chips.

When I have many objects in a scene and each has a UV-unwrap, the scale (using the checker) looks to be a different ratio from object to object. Is there a way to make the UV editor unwrap to scale, so that the checkers end up being all the same size across the scene?

I need to find a way to export the file info frrom many images back to a word or excel file. Does anyone know how to do it.
I can't even get the information out of one image file without the old copy and paste one field at a time, and have several hundred to do.
Just to clarify, the info I need is when you rightclick on the title bar and choose file info, and choose "description" then akk the fields on the right.

I have about 50 point groups that the client needs in an ENZ format, is it possible to export them all at once with the name of the point group being the name of the file?
if so, the more annoying part of this is that I actually have to make the ENZ file an ENZD file with the D being the name of the file for each point, if both of these things are possible
