3ds Max Modeling :: Cloth Modifier Showing Squares From Other Side
Jan 21, 2011
Just 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

I'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?

i made a clothes hanger, and grouped / assembled the components as one object, in the cloth modifier add object menu, i can't find the hanger, but if i dissembled / ungrouped them to separated parts, it can appear back in the add object.

I'm trying to make curtain using the cloth modifier. After setting up using groups, nodes then simulate to animation for the curtain to fold, I can successfully make the curtain but then the file gets corrupted where the undos stop and things start acting corky. I've tried merging objects into a fresh scene, made the curtain over again, and same problem.

I need to model a cloth in Maya 2012 as a part of a college assignment. I have attached a jpeg of my pre-production artwork, in it you can see the yellow cloth placed on two wooden planks. At the moment I am modelling the cloth by adjusting the vertices, but find it to be a bit tedious. Is there any other way for me get effective results. Since I am a beginner I would like to know the the different ways a little in detail.

I have difficulties using Cloth : Some years ago I had less problems with Cloth but my characters were much taller than real characters, 2 or 3 meters high for example. Now, I have decided to use realistic sizes for my characters, hoping it would improve the result with Cloth, but it is the contrary. With my new characters, 1 unit = 1 centimeter and it is almost impossible to have a perfect result. I was wondering if it is possible to move manually some vertices within Cloth after the simulations for correcting the inaccuracies.

I 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.

How 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.

I am trying to use the Boolean modifier more than one time on a box and it doesn't seem to work. I pick the Operand B to subtract on the second object I want to Boolean out, it disappears, but there is no hole there.

Is there anyway to put modifier which only affects to some area (edges/poly/vertex) of an object? Like when using Turbosmooth, only half area gets smoothed, the other half still has the sharp edges?

I 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!

I 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.

I 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.

I have got a problem by modeling a roof. The first picture attached shows it right at the moment. I want to keep the star one can see in the center of the picture but the edges look at bit problematic because it consist of 3 former independent cubes. The edges are shown in the second picture.
My question is if it is possible to make the star consist of squares to model it a bit easier. I use maya 2012 education.

I am trying to apply shell modifier on a custom made spline (shown as 1 in image).But as soon as I click on shell modifier the spline disappears. I dont understand what is happening because I applied shell modifier on a similar custom made spline and it work properly previously (shown as 2 in image).

How can I make Displace modifier to use objects existing mapping? Because when I apply a new Displace, the modifier makes a new mapping, even if i check "Use Existing Mapping".
See what i mean? I want those "cracks" to follow uv not a displace mapping

Any way to smooth out the side of my helicopter I am working on.
I created the fuselage by extruding the rear egde of the cockpit backwards but because it has so many edges it looks a bit ripply.
I tried creating a new editable poly which solves the smoothnes problem but I cant get it to line up perfectly with the edge of the cockpit
how to smooth out these lines , is there some kind of modifier I can use?

I 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.
