3ds Max :: UVW Map Gizmo Not Working?
Oct 4, 2011I am having a problem with 3ds Max 2012.
I am trying to map using UVW Map and I am not able to move or spin the Gizmo to aline the map to the correct side.
I am having a problem with 3ds Max 2012.
I am trying to map using UVW Map and I am not able to move or spin the Gizmo to aline the map to the correct side.
I accidentally changed its position relative to the object being edited.
P.S I found the hierarchy panel to the right. does it have something to do with this? (I thought i remembered it from a tutorial i used a while ago...)
I fixed it with the hierarchy panel. I clicked pivot in the panel, then affect object only, then center to pivot. this makes the the object stick to the gizmo, bringing it back to default setting (at least im 99% sure that was default.) I thought i had been on the right track.
The transform gizmo is visible in the modeling vieworts and function normally, however if I go into the UV editor and select a sub-object, there is no gizmo. I can select sub-objects, and move them, but there is no gizmo to use to move stuff accurately.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy main gizmo (move, scale, rotate) is vanishing from the scene and I am unable to execute simple move/rotate/scale actions. The gizmo will reappear if I shift the viewing angle in the viewport. However this is getting frustrating because I might be viewing at the angle I need to execute a move/rotate/scale, but I can't and have to shift viewing angle to bring back the gizmo.
Also at present I am unable to view vertices when in sub-object mode (Edit Poly). I don't know if I accidentally triggered something or what, but the vertices suddenly disappeared and all I can see is the lines for the edged faces (not the vertices). Oddly enough, I am able to see the last vertice that I was interacting with, but cannot click or view any other vertices of the object.
I am using 3ds Max 2009, and am starting to get a grasp of UVW unwrapping, however, for some odd reason the transform gizmo is hidden in the Edit UVW window, and I can't figure out how to unhide it. I tried pressing X, I tried pressing a bunch of other keys to see if maybe I accidently pressed a hotkey.

I'm fairly new to Max and not completely comfortable with all the tools yet.

Also, I have the same problem with both versions of Max. Obviously some setting that I'm not aware of...
Is there a why of applying say a "Xtransform" onto an object, say like a ball. rotate the ball inside the Xtransform while keeping the transform gizmo locked in place.
I am referring to in an animation, not a one time thing.
My animation timeline and moving gizmo is gone.

I want to conform the shape of the gizmo to a animated geometry, instead of the rigid boxes and spheres.

I 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.
1. How do I make the angle of the Gizmo appear when I'm rotating the gizmo plane with 'e'?
2. Also, how do I rotate the gizmo itself, so that i can rotate it in any ambiguous axis as well if I wanted to.
For example, let's say I'm slicing a hollowed box usnig Shell modifier. I want to cut the box diagonally. I make the slicing plane vertical using x rotatin axis (red) at perfect 90 degrees (this is why I want to see the angle displacement when rotating a gizmo), then becaue I want to cut it vertically, I rotate the plane on z rotation axis (blue) 45 degrees. Now, I want this cut to be slanted. That means I have to change BOTH x and y axis with equal amount to achieve symmetrical cut I want. ("5 snaps of rotating the slicing plane on x axis and y axis" something like this)
What I want is change the orientation of the gizmo itself so that x or y rotation axis becomes the angle I want the box cut to be slanted at.
3. I've been using 3ds max for rendering most of the time, and didn't really have time to ask myself, why is it such a pain in the a** to get the correct effect I want from max? Viewport and renderd product doesn't match at all for me. Rendering should be just a way of making the viewport image much prettier, not turning garbage into an artwork. Because of the difference between the viewport and renderd image, I constantly have to do test render at 320x240 to see how it looks.
When I say the two doesn't match, it includes but not limited to:
-Lighting Both daylighting system and artificial lights(photometric/standard)
-Intensity
-Shadow casting accuracy
-Material
Scale mismatch of rendering and viewport.
-Color
-I'm guessing it may be because of the lighting that the colors are very off.
-Unexpected glow on my model from other surrounding objects.
Sketchup or Rhino shows vaguely how it's going to look when it's rendered, just poor quality. Why is it so not intuitive in max?

I'm using 3D Max Design. I am unable to move an object on the Z axis of the gizmo. When I attempt to do so, a yellow line follows the path of my drag. I can move an object up and down only if I drag by all 3 axis.

If I for example am working on a tall plank and want to align the bottom part with something I'd zoom in to be more precise, but since the manipulator is stuck in the middle of the plank I have to zoom out anyway and find a spot where I'm fairly zoomed in but still can see the manipulator.. If there is a way to make the manipulator follow on the screen when i zoom in (without altering the pivot point) I'd be able to work so much easier.I am of course talking about all the manipulators (move, rotate and scale).
Another annoying difference between Max 9 and 2012: I have to select the Freeform Gizmo for every instance of an Unwrap UVW editor. It seems the new default is Move Mode and in Max 2012 there is no memory of the last selected state. Ug!
The 'Save Current Settings as Default' is not useful.
Any ini setting which will set the Freeform Gizmo to the default?
In 3DS MAX 2011 my transform gizmo jumps to the origin every time I go into sub-object mode making it very difficult to edit. I have been through the help file looking for fixes without success. I have major deadlines to meet this week and this is severely hampering progress. How to reset the gizmo? When I pick an object the gizmo is in its proper location, it's only when I go to sub-object mode that it leaps away to the origin.

When using "Edit in Photoshop CS6" from Lightroom 4 I just go into Photoshop CS6, not Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Cannot access ACR directly from within Photoshop either.
It works from Bridge tho'. Have checked out many forums and see other people with this problem, but main response, to remove com.adobe.Photoshop.plist from Library/Preferences, or reinstalling Photoshop and Lightroom, do not resolve it for me. All software, including Camera Raw (7.2.0.46) is up to date. Use 16 GB iMac and OS X 10.8.2.

I forgot to add that I am on CC version 14.1.2. The gpu OGLVersion=3. Is it possible that AMD V7700 is not supported for 3D on Photoshop? I do have the "Use graphics Processor" checked in the Performance tab of Preferences.
I am trying to use the cloning tool, however, the ALT key does not seem to work.

If I try to use the eraser or the brush tool, nothing happens. Is this a bug with x64 or do I need to change some settings?

I have not noticed this in 4.2 so not sure if this is a just a 4.3 bug.
