ScriptSpot is a diverse online community of artists and developers who come together to find and share scripts that empower their creativity with 3ds Max. Our users come from all parts of the world and work in everything from visual effects to gaming, architecture, students or hobbyists.
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to copy objects using reference points on
other objects, so that the copies will respect the same distance and orientation. If you're an AutoCAD user you already know how to do this operation in AutoCad.
Here we learn how to use the section tool found in the Shapes category to create 2D sections out of 3D objects and export them to other programs like Autocad.
Whenever you have a numeric field in 3DS Max, you can use a nice little feature called Numerical Expression Evaluator. Just click inside that field and press CTRL+N to open Numerical Expression Evaluator Dialog.
In this short video, we will learn how to keep the mouse centered in the viewport, this is useful in many scenarios, like, for example, tracing a spline over a picture while staying zoomed in.
This is a two part tutorial (please watch the first one) that deals with good practices related to importing AutoCAD files into 3DS Max. In this second part, we will see how to adjust few parameters inside Max, specially the parameters that you see inside the Import dialog.
In this video, we will learn how to mirror a sub-object element in a spline shape and how to determine a custom axis for the mirror operation. In the second part, we will see how we can add new vertices to an existing spline.
In this video, we will learn about this nice feature inside the 2D shapes called Cross Section, where you can create a cross-section between existing splines sub-object levels. Also, we will see how we can create a surface from these cross-sections by adding a Surface modifier and explaining some of its parameters
