I am having a problem with merging a pre-textured object into my current scene. The object initially is successful however when it comes to rendering I get an error stating that the textures cannot be located.
View 3 RepliesAny good way of cleaning out your scene in max, to be able to delete a texture from your scene seems to be missing..
View 3 Replies View Relatedim using 3dsmax 2012 & mudbox 2012, & the problem is when after im texturing the scene (mudbox) i want to updating textures in current scene features to 3dsmax, the problem is my mesh always repositiong or scaled down etc. everytime i had to always realign (affect object only) the pivot to correct positions or rescale back.i tried to matched the units setup on max & still the problem occur. fyi im only do texturing part by part because i cant texturing the whole model on mudbox at once because of its to heavy for my pc.
UPDATE 1ok i found the main culprit is - the pivot. the stubborn pivot keeps retain its old position which is not center with the objects when im updating..Now struggling to find solutions for this stubborn pivot
UPDATE 2Ok i found the solution.make sure reset your pivot back to its original positions.(aka Reset Pivot)but the ugly thing is the original usually not centered, but its ok for me since i just want to do just the texture job.after texturing we can set the pivot center to object back again.
I do have a scene with CAD data in it, some of it is collapsed to poly some of it is left as mesh. Now i want to import this data to a scene with a different scale. When doing so, some parts of the object become very large while others shrink to minimum. Only a few parts stay at the correct position. These follwing steps I tried to correct the problem:
- Linking everything to a Helper = FAIL
- Attaching everything to one Object = NOT AN OPTION
- Collapsing everything to Poly or Mesh = Fail
- Grouping = FAIL
Is there anything else i could try to get this dam file merged? Like a Pivot Point Reset to World? Match Scale Pivot Reset...
I've got two identical photos, one in summer time (all green) and one in winter (snow covered).
How would I go about merging these half way across the picture to show a transition from winter to summer? Kind of like two seasons in one photo.
When I merge an animated camera from another scene, the movement setting keys for the camera and target are there, but it appears that animated exposure settings are not. Is there a way to import those with the camera, as well?

I scanned a drawing I made as a .jpeg, opened it in PS CS4, converted the background to a layer, added a curves adjustment layer, and when I try any of Flatten Image or Save as Jpeg the results disregards all or part of the effects of the adjustment layer. The same happens for a levels adjustment layer . I have attached the original jpeg and the .psd with the curves adjustment layer.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know the title sounds weird, but I am having trouble keeping my levels from reverting back to their default look when saving as a jpeg or attempting to flatten or merge my layers. I can attach a link to the PDS if you would like to take a look at it. The layer that is losing its levels settings is called "Stars". I don't change my levels often, so I am sure its something I am just missing. The levels are just changes on a single layer, as stated above its the layer called "Stars".
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I merge geometry into a scene that is already using the same materials, it prompts me what I want to do. I always select "Use scene materials"...however, whenever I look at the slate, it shows duplicates all over the place. To keep mat library optimized becomes a task when you are dealing with a lot of materials.
Why does MAX not listen to me when I tell it to use the scene materials that have matching names?

I have loads (gigs) of .png textures that I need to use in Illustrator CS6. But it will not let me import them using hte texturizer. Is it possible to use .png textures in CS6, if so how do I import .png textures into CS6?
As an alternative, is there a website that offers free .psd textrues for personal use in CS6. I am currently re-creating a a map with poor pixelation and I need a lot of natural (stone, dirt, rock, marble, etc..) textures and building textures for a medieval atmosphere.

i have 2 square shapes on my artborad. each square shape has its own gradient fill. i would like to merge these 2 shapes to form a single shape. not a groupe of shapes, but a single, flattened (compounded?) object.
the gradient of the first square includes a zero-alpha. the second image is the two shapes simply layered, but i want to basically flatten them together to form one shape.
what steps are involved in merging these shapes to form one shape so that their gradients are unaffected by merging with the other?
