3ds Max :: Texturing Using Viewport Canvas
Mar 9, 2011
I am having a problem when texturing using the viewport canvas. Whenever I activate the brush tool, the light on the texture seems to change. The first image shows what the texture should look like. The 2nd image shows what happens when the brush tool is active. The texture for the body gets washed out. I have my viewport settings on default lights and hardware shading turned off. I've deleted all my lights in the scene but it doesnt seem to matter.

I've built a game piece (Humanoid) I've set up UVs and now I'm ready to start painting. As a start I want to lay down some base flat colors to certain areas of my mesh, I isolated the body of the character and...Tools>Viewport canvas>clicked brush>chose diffuse, saved map and began to paint in the "2D view" window within Viewport canvas. After laying down some color, as I came closer to edges where more accuracy is needed I decided to use my wacom tablet, panning works fine but when I zoom it goes crazy with extreme zooming in and out. I have the latest wacom driver, I've checked the wacom options in the control panel etc.

The viewport canvas is a great tool, I have had it working in previous versions of max but in 2013 I just can't get it to work.
The object it's self has been unwrapped and collapsed to poly no different to what I've done in the past. I bring up the viewport canvas dialog box and everything is normal until I select the paint brush tool and the object disappears, it's still in the scene but I just can't see it, it seems as though the viewport clipping has become very narrow, closing the dialog box the object returns. I've tried large and small objects, nitrous and direct x, and nothing seems to work.

I can't seem to find a place to set an edge padding or bleed value when I'm painting with Viewport Canvas. I'm using it to paint out seams.
The options I've come up with on my own are to either dilate those areas in Photoshop after I paint in Max, or use RTT to bake from one texture channel to another after I paint with Viewport Canvas and set the edge padding value in RTT.
Ideally I'd like the edge padding to happen as I paint though.

I have seen several cases of MAX 2013's clone tool not working correctly in viewport canvas. It simply will not sample areas that you select. Same workflow in 2012 works fine. This error is seen on a variety of hardware running windows 7.

if it's possible to do kind of 3D-texturing in photoshop.
The grid looks very ugly as it's just a flat pattern on top of the model. I'd imagine photoshop could somehow do 3D-texturing based on the bevel blending I´ve used in the model.

Anyone used/bought this DVD ?
It sounds like it would be interesting, but I don't think I want to spend that much on it unless I had some reliable information.

I have a high resolution image for an event we're promoting. The theme/title is "Breaking the Mold" I had a hard time thinking of a concept to go with and have sketched a few things out.
But I really want this to look like a movie poster or a game cover. Anyway the conference is, from what I'm told is to deal with leadership and breaking the way things are normally done.
So I figured I'd try something like a guy kneeling or standing in a business suit, tearing his coat off, like a Superman type deal, but have only half of the image as a statue, while the top half is the man breaking out of the mold (so to speak).
So my question is, once I find a suitable image, how can I take a textured image or background and lay it over the man's body to make it look like he's in the mold itself.
I have thought about creating a brush with the texture and painting over the man and setting layer effects to "pin light" and setting opacity. While this works with paint pretty well, I figured it might work with texture.
But how do I create the brush with the texture for a high resolution image?
Now after I crop the man out of whatever background he's in, and I take a complete huge picture of a statue, plaster, broken concrete, can I just lay it over the man. Because I've tried it with a quick sample I had as a test and set the layer settings to all the ones on there, but the concrete would not wrap around the shadows, and highlights well. The texture would remain flat and not have depth of the man's body.

I am currently trying to unwrap a weapon for texturing and some of the faces are flipped only in the UV Editor. I have the option under xView Flipped UVW Faces checked on and they only pop up when I have the Unwrap UVW Modifier highlighted and in use. I've tried to flip them or mirror them under the editor but it doesn't seem to work. Under Edit Poly, Flipped UVW Faces isn't applicable. I even tried deleting a polygon and creating a new one in its place but I get the same result. I also reset x form just to see what would occur and they are still there. I'm to the point that I think it isn't as big a deal as I'm making it out to be but want to get a second opinion before I move on to unwrapping.

I have made a cube, and given a basic cube UV map. The material I want is a standard 2D map (say noise). The problem is that each face gets the same pattern of noise. I would have the same result if I had a basic bitmap as the material.
My solution has been to make a Multi-Sub material, and then use a different noise seed for each side of the cube. This works fine, but it makes it time consuming to do something like change the color of the cube (as I would have to edit 5/6 materials).
So, I am asking, is there a way to either make the UV behave as if each face was part of the same "thing" (spread one noise map over the image/stretch the bitmap). Perhaps make an object use multiple materials (or something like that), so that I can have a Multi-Sub for a greyscale noise, and then a basic color that I can change to effect all of the sides at once.

I started University a few months back and we are currently doing an assignment with Max. Now we arent allowed to use Unwrap UVWs cos apparently thats too above us at the moment so we have to apply a texture, and then apply a UVW map. However, I know it is possible to apply a texture to selected Polygons but how do I actually go about doing this as every time I try, it just applies the texture to the whole object.

I'm using the 64bit version of 3Ds Max 2012 (student licence) and I've been having a bit of trouble with a bit of functionality I'm used to using that doesn't appear to be available in this version.
Basically, I want to add a .mov (or .avi - a movie file) to my alpha map. I've done this before in earlier versions with no issues and it's exactly the effect I'm looking for in this scene I'm working on. When I go to add either of those file types they simply don't appear in the 'bitmap' section while browsing files.
From looking online I've heard that this is an issue only in the 64bit version and it works perfectly well in the 32bit. My questions are:
- Is this an issue that's being worked on, a deliberate product feature (why?), or an oversight?
- Are there other movie file types that do work in the 64 bit version that I can use instead?
- Would uninstalling max and reinstalling with the 32 bit version have a negative effect on the files I've created within my current version?

how to texture and render like how they did in the movie: OnePiece 3D Mugiwara chase, here is the link: URL.... If you'll notice the textures aren't that detailed and the characters seem to have a black outline in most places, which changes as they pose differently, also the eyes aren't exactly a seperate 3d object which has been placed in the eye socket, the eyes are somehow just placed in their respective locations and animate as the characters look somewhere else.

I saw a video of some guy making a texture for a 3d model in photoshop and time to time he switched to a window where he could see and manipulate the 3d model with the unfinished texture and no, he didn't save the project and apply it everytime. I was wondering if that was a plug-in or something like that.

Pretty much my main downfall when it comes to working with Photoshop, is my lack-of-expierence with texturing.
For example, I'm trying to figure out how to make a gray-ish type metal texture.
Basically, are their any *general* tips to get me going, on texturing? Using the metal example?

I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

I'm working on a hobby project for a game in Unity3d. When it comes to texturing my Maya models and bringing everything into Unity, I often find myself lost in a very tedious workflow. How to organize the texturing process between different applications.Here is what I'm doing right now:Â
1. export UV snapshot from Maya and open it in Photoshop
2. use premade textures, photo reference and hand painted images in PS to build a diffuse texture
3. export as an image file and check it on the model in Maya
4. go back to PS, adjust and start building a specularity/gloss map, as well as use premade normal map textures or hand painted bump maps to create all those different maps
5. export layer groups from PS into individual texture file (diffuse, specular, normal, emission etc...)
6. assign everything in Maya and check if it looks ok (I prefer doing this in Maya, so I could change the model or UVs if needed)
7. export another set of texture maps from PS to meet the requirements of Unity (diffuse with gloss in Alpha channel ect)
8. assign and test everything in unity and make prefabs for my developer
Â
As you can see I spend a lot of time on exporting up to 6 versions of one texture for different purposes for Maya and for Unity. Everytime I want to change something, I have to manually go in and re-export and refresh those textures. I'm trying to use actions in Photoshop and a Mel script in Maya to make that easier, but still it's a lot of tedious work spent on just updating images.Â
Â
I actually started off using PSD networks in Maya. I would create my material, let Maya create a PSD file with different layer sets assigned to my shader and let it all refresh at once without having to export. That sounds like a reasonable workflow, but I stopped using it, because networks with layer sets only support flattened Photoshop data, so no layer effects and non-destructive editing from within PS. And every once in a while my PSD network would break and corrupt my PSD files, making it impossible to save them or open again.

I'm working on 3d branding, so I need to be very accurate on texturing because of graphic logo and words.Although the model wasn't so complex, somehow texture him so messed, there a distortions on corners.the checker pattern isn't seem correctly on model.I've tried every method (3Ds max 2012):
1. select edges and convert them as seams, and choose the faces for making them planar, or on projection.
2. relax
3. flatten map and stitching
4. simple projection
5. uvw map paste
6. strigthen and so on.
I'm looking for result like this: URL....but I have to say that on my model, the graphic in his sides too, and not a solid color.

I have a question that involves texturing multi objects for a single model.
1 - should I texture the peices first and then attach them together
or
2 - should i attach the pieces together and then texture them.
Also, once the model are attached, should I still weld the vertices and if I dont weld them, will it affect the animation when I rig the model?

I have some textures, and i am trying to pack them into texture atlas. All of them are RGBA png's generated with PIL (Python Image Lib). I am opening all of them in gimp and copy-pasting them into their new place in texture atlas.
But i have noticed something strange, i am storing specular map in alpha channel of my diffuse textures, and emission value in alpha channel of normal textures.
The problem is, that GIMP does not copy pixels with 0 alpha value into clipboard. So, when i am trying to copy a normal map from source to atlas, and if emission value is 0, then GIMP is not copying anything, i am getting empty layer pasted into my atlas, if there are 0 alpha value pixels in diffuse map they are not copied to destination, even selection outline shows that there are no pixels in places where specular is set to 0.

We do a lot of 3D texturing for models. While CS6 was doing that just fine, CC has a problem. When we paint on 3D model directly, it has a 0.5-1 second lag. That's acceptable, as it's not used much. However from CC it started to lag even when painting directly on unfolded texture. Which basically interferes with our job.
Â
It seems that there is no applying step anymore when switching from flat texture to 3D view and all changes are applied on 3D immediately when we paint on flat texture. Release notes say it's a 100x speed improvement, but we don't really see it. We see this behaviour on 2 computers: OS X one and Win8 one.
Â
So my question is - can we turn immediate change applying on 3D model off?

Problem: When I create a new viewport, another viewport's paperspace blanks out or disappears. When I copy a viewport over, the new VP doesn't show anything and you can't maximize/"enter" its paperspace; it's like a simple rectangle, but the properties box says it is indeed a viewport.
Ex. Viewport 1 shows the top view of an object, Viewport 2 shows the right side view... as soon as I add Viewport 3, the top view in VP 1 blacks out. I attempt to ReDraw, Regenerate, etc, but it doesn't re-appear. I've run Plot Preview to see if maybe it's just a fluke with the graphics card on my screen, but alas, even in plot preview the viewport is blanked out.
It almost seems like there is a limited number of viewports I can use.
Solution: Run the MaxActVP command and set the value to a number greater than the number of VPs you actually need. This particular file had that value set at 2; hence, why a new, third VP blanked out the first one.

I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.
