Comments
Hello again,
I have installed latest PM and my material/map browser turned into this:
Does anyone know how to return it back to new Material/map browser:?
Found solution:
open "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2011 - 64bit\enu\plugcfg\sme.ini and modify the last two lines to
"ShowMtlBrowser=1
UseOldMtlBrowser=0"

For saving space on the hard
For saving space on the hard drive you can use standard windows ability.
i can not imagine another way
wont it return to normal speed after it is added to database?
besides it can support jpg+rar = item eventhough i dont fancy that. as drap and drop operation not possible...
It probably to make. But it
It probably to make.
But it will very strongly slow the folder opening.
and also
[ "scene_01.jpg" + "scene_01\scene_01.max" ] as item
Hello Track,
I have been testing and old PM version i have a suggestion that will make exploration much better than it is ...Not sure about its current state.
Project Manager should also treat [ folder\file.jpg+file.max ] as item.
example:(big image)
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file
Drag ProjectManager.mzp file into viewport, check "Uninstall" and press button "Next" for uninstall.
Or manually delete CacheStart.mse from "scripts\startup\" directory and "ProjectManager" folder from "c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2011 - 64bit\enu\scripts\TrackScripts\" directory.
The "Project Manager"does not make any changes to the scene, you can open the same scene as on a computer without "Project Manager" as with "Project Manager".
I'm scared
So it appears that once you build a scene with PM installed that scene is tide to PM.
I used the PM mzp to uninstall. My scene opened fine before uninstalling PM. But now I get an error looking for PM related things. Also the render freaks out.
-Can you TOTAL uninstall PM?
-Dose PM write to the .max scene file?
Thanks for any help.
