3ds Max Modeling :: Different Ways Of Using Mirror Modifier?
Jan 9, 2011I use rhino 3d for a lot of my modeling and just recently been exploring 3ds max 2011, and I really like the mirror command in rhino because I can just click and mirror my object across a grid line, however in 3ds max the modifier is much more difficult to use in my opinion. If their are any former rhino users in the Area. way of using the mirror modifier to simulate the Rhino mirror command or even suggest another modifier that would preform in a similar manner as in rhino.

Jan 31, 2011How can 2 sub-objects (modifier gizmos in this case) be aligned to each other?
Eg:
There are 2 similar objects, with a bend modifier applied. They have different orientations, but the 2 bend gizmos should be in the same orientation. (a stack of a few papers with slightly different orientations, curled from the corner)
I know there are at least 2 options, both are not very practical.
- Play with a compass helper instead of directly adjusting the first gizmo, and align all gizmos with the compass. This is a problem if you already have the first gizmo adjusted. It's also not practical to keep the compass and the gizmos in synch. And would make fine adjustments hard, as you wouldn't see the result live.
- Calculate the parent object's orientation and the gizmo orientation to find the gizmo's orientation to the world, then calculate the target gizmo's orientation. Or make a script.

Nov 26, 2012I'm trying to create a pillow but I can't get the narrow and tight shape with the cloth modifier. I have done exactly as the tutorials that I have followed, but I have done this several of times, but I don't get it like I want it and I'm wondering if I have missed something or if there are any values that I can change to get the cloth closer to the shape of the pillow? And why is some part of the pillow visible and not inside the cloth?

View 4 Replies View Related3ds Max Modeling :: How To Use Substitute Modifier And Pick Multiple Objects
Mar 7, 2012I have linked a DWG-file from Autocad in to 3ds max. I would like to use the substitute modifier so that objects ends up on the right spot even if changes are made in the DWG-file. The problem is that in Autocad there is one block for example for the trees in a pot, but in max there is one pot and one tree. I would like to keep it that way so I am able to change the parameters for my trees.
How can i use the substitute modifier and pick multiple objects? It is not possible with groups, it only uses the one object I pick, even if it is in a group.
So, to make things clearer, I want multiple max-objects linked to one autocad block via the substitute modifier!
3ds Max Modeling :: Displace Modifier / Making Planar Faces
Jul 14, 2011I am Using Mental ray (max 2010). I have made a topological displacement map at a very low resolution. it is 222 pixels wide by 111 pixels tall (landscape) It is greyscale and low rez because the mesh I am applying it to is 222 faces wide by 111 faces long. (landscape also). I did this because I needed each pixel to become a "height map" in its own right. Everything is working the way i expected.
My problem is.... I need to now make each face z planar. as it stands, they are all tilted in the direction of the grey scale falloff. I have tried splitting the edges of all the faces (quad) and using the make planar (z) function of edit poly mod. No matter how I set the pivot / ucs, when I apply the make planar z , they all average out to the same z plane. I need them to adopt the average of their individual z planes. I can do this but have to do it face by face. That's 24642 faces.
3ds Max Modeling :: Cloth Modifier Showing Squares From Other Side
Jan 21, 2011Just recently learned how to use the cloth modifier. It is awesome. It has worked pretty well, but one problem, I see little squares on my cloth after I run the simulation. Sometimes they are just a shade darker than the material, others, they are completely black, so it makes me think it is the squares from the opposite side showing through.
I am using a chamfer box so that my cloth has a thickness to it and a beveled edge. I tried a plane, but I don't like the way it looks, because it isn't thick enough. How to get rid of the squares? (see attachment).
Also, while I'm here, do I have to always sit through 100 frames when I simulate, or can I just hit simulate and have the cloth drop into place on one frame? I am not animating so I don't need the 100 frame span.
My specs are this quad processors, 8 Gb RAM, windows xp64bit, 3ds max 2011
3ds Max Modeling :: Unable To Select Faces When Using Unwrap UVW Modifier
Jul 25, 2013I am using 3ds max 2014 and have not been able to select faces when using the Unwrap UVW modifier. My only choices are vertex, edge and polygon. I've tried to use flatten mapping with polygons instead of faces, but I'm not getting the results I want that way.
I've made sure that everything is converted to editable poly. I've re-imported everything to see if that changes anything, and still nothing. I'm attaching a screenshot of my unwrap uvw rollout in case that's useful.

Maya Modeling :: Move / Scale Entire Item - Objects Move Separately
Dec 9, 2012So a friend created a model using zbrush and exported several different *.OBJ files. I imported those to maya and added shaders. They all fit correctly together when imported.
some of those obj files required me to do a mesh->combine. so now it appears that not every item has the same reference point so that when I move or scale the entire item, some of the objects move seperately. I think it is only the ones I had to combine.
I tried freeze transformations, but when doing that, some of the objects lost their scale settings and still didnt move together as one unit.
3ds Max :: Extrude Modifier Generating Solid 3D Object In Shape Of Spline
Jan 7, 2013i'm applying an extrude modifier to a simple spline shape, and i am accustomed to the extrude modifier generating a solid 3d object in the shape of the spline, if the spline is a closed shape.
however, in this case, the extrude modifier is generating just a 3d outline based on the spline's shape...
i can't figure out why i'm not getting a solid 3d object since the spline is closed (i checked all the vertices).
file is attached (the spline in question is named "upper side section")

3ds Max :: Can't Get Text To Cap With Extrude Modifier Or Bevel Modifier
Nov 8, 2011I just sat down to use 3Ds Max '12 for the first time today after upgrading from 2010. This will probably be a simple fix, but I can't get any text to cap with the extrude modifier or bevel modifier. It happens with every typeface I've tried. I even tried using the cap holes modifier. Never had this problem with previous version of 3Ds.

Dec 24, 2012What happened to the option/enter command in the move object dialog that has been around since the early days of Illustrator??? Instead of having to mouse click the "copy" button in the move object window, one could just hold down option with Return or Enter and the Copy command would happen rather than a simple move. Immensely useful for prepress work!

Maya Modeling :: How To Move Pivot Point On Mac
Aug 20, 2013We are just trying out Maya on the OSX Platform.
In the tutorial that we are going through, we are asked to select 2 curves, center the pivot point, and then hit the 'Insert' key to allow us to move the pivot point, and then holding down the 'C' key we should be able to move the pivot point along the curve.
Looking around we found that if you hit the 'fn + left arrow' keys you are meant to get the same as using the 'insert' key on the PC, but this is not right, and also when you try to hold down the 'C' key it does not allow the pivot point to be constrained to the curve.
So where is the 'Insert' key on the Mac?
3ds Max Modeling :: Move Gizmo Stuck At Origin?
Sep 30, 2008I am having a problem with my create and move tools. It has just started happening that every time I create an object it automatically is created at the origin. I am unable to move any of the objects i am creating from this position. I can rotate them and scale them but just cant move them. I have checked everything i can think of, they aren't locked or on a locked layer. I converted them to an editable mesh and could move them like this but the gizmo remains stuck at the origin.
Probably something really simple, just never came across it before.
