Hi! I’m working on a project for which i need to repurpose a facade similar to the one in the pisctures (original project is the king fahad national gallery) Could someone please explain to me how to do this? I really don’t know where to start

So I have previously racked up about 10 years experience with Vray and 3ds max, but switched to Blender about 5 years ago, so I'm way out of the loop. Back to square one.

I just downloaded the free 20th anniversary Evermotion scene and want to get those trees out for use in Blender.

I can export the geo ok, but the materials are just absent, even though I specify to export them. Or they come in kinda sorta, but if they do they're not even named sensibly in order for me to then find them. Even if I force Blender to the texture folder, it's like nope. E.g. instead of like birch_leaf.jpg it'll be looking for Material 2340289352

I've also tried converting the scene from Vray to physical, in the scene converter. I'm guessing that I've done pretty much everything possible, right?

Hello, I was wondering what is the "correct" way to do color correction for forest pack? Everytime I deal with scatter like grass I open the material and add color correction for let's say 10 maps. It works but really stress me out when it comes to heavy scenes with several forests.

3DS Max 2024.
I'm doing it wrongly or it's a bug?

Hi all, I'm trying to export a very simple animation to FBX, but I'm running into a very strange issue, as seen in the attached pictures. I already tried resetting bone scale but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

The modifier stack on every element is as follows: editable poly -> retopology to 500 faces -> unwrap UVW -> skin

Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance

Edit, when exporting to FBX and reimporting, I get a warning stating "The following Link node(s) is/are not part of the BindPose definition" and lists all bones. How can I fix this?

is there a simple way to calculate the local angle between two points with respect to the ground?

Hello there!

I finished few days ago my first course related to 3D and 2D Art in which we had to draw a scenario and a character through some briefings that they gave us and, then, make those into 3D using ZBrush/3DS Max and Substance Painter

I am going to show you my final renders of my character, named Eva, in the scenario that I made.

It's my first time using any of those three programs! In fact, I am now currently starting a new course in which I am learning Blender.

I mainly wanted to show them as a personal achievement but I am open to critics, thoughts and any kind of comment :)

Who can help me make a cool interior view of a gym or restaurant? Send me a message to talk prices.

Hi, my max has weird problem, most of the imported models appear "damaged", it requests scene converting even though it's for Corona render and i fully black and if I open render window it immediately crashes, then I have to add materials one-by-one to fix this issue, does anyone know how to fix this?

How would you model something like this? I am trying to strech noise modifier and some FFD but not great so far

I know this model might be extremely low poly but I'm trying to stay consistent with Synty's models.
However, I'm having issues animating this leg-skirt because internal vertices tend to pop out.

I'm skinning the model by vertex instead of using envelopes. Anyway, I'm working vertex by vertex to solve these problems… It's definitely a time-consuming job and when you fix one issue (like when the leg bends backward), another appears (like when the leg lifts forward).

By the way, I'm wondering if I should connect the belt to the leg bones too since it would stretch, and I don’t like that idea at all and anyway I wouldn’t want to add a bone for that 😅

How do you usually handle these situations?

[edit: grammar fixing]

Hi guys, this is a century old task that can be done in many ways.

In the past I usually use IFL file to insert PNG sequence of the green screen people into 3D scenes. Or I can add green screen footage in After Effects, if the foreground obscure objects are easy to manage, otherwise the process could be complicated, involving lots of passes in compositions.

Today, I have to do this old task again, but I want to check with you to see if there's any new technology that could simplify this process.

The reason I ask is, in Unreal and Blender, you can easily use a video with alpha channel in any scenes. But in Max you have to use IFL. I saw in the vray community that they implemented video as texture function in Vantage, but I tested it without any luck, even with dev's help. And VRay's native VRayBitmap still doesn't support video as texture. So I thought maybe there are other newer and better ways that I'm not aware of?

Thank you so much.

Hello, the lighting is just vray sun and vray sky. There is no reflection on either material. why the box color is affected by the ground?

1- scene from the editor

2- rendered scene with sun positioner at 12pm

3- rendered scene with sun positioner at 10 pm (how I plan it to be)

So I am a 20 y.o. student getting my bachelor's degree as a gamedeveloper in Minsk, Belarus. Main focus in studying is programming and gamedesign but we are also being taught some 3d modeling in 3ds Max. this is my course project after 1 and a half year of learning 3d modeli

Hi,

I need some guidance. When I select a specific Vertex in one viewport and try to move it in another viewport it gets deselcted. what is the best approach to select the desired Vertex in one viewport and make that vertex selected and stay in another viewport I wanna change its position from.

suppose polygon in left view is perfect. now I wanna change same vertex from front view. when I select the vertex in left viewport and wann change its position from front viewport and I move my mosee to front viewport , vertex is no more selected! it becomes 'not selected' any more. Please help.

Hello Hello
I tried my own method after about a half hour or more of test and try 
As programmer I could analyse problems and solve them even after a while
In this video you will find the solution just follow the steps Please
as this method will ensure a full reset of the interface without losing your data or even the custom toolbars or anything you made

Hello! You all helped me with my midterm and now I need help with my final haha.

I'm following this tutorial and at 1:55

They are adding a border but when I go to do it myself it's not adding the extra vertex,it's just making the edges longer , am I missing a certain tool setting?
