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.
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 tutorial, we will learn about a very useful compound object called Connect. This compound object will connect/bridge between holes in different objects. We will learn about its main parameters, and at the end, we will a quick practical example.
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 tutorial for 3DS Max total beginners, we will take a look at the Array tool, a powerful feature to create copies from objects based on 3 modes: 1-Array based on the X, Y, and Z coordinates, 2-Polar array, 3-Array based on a scaling factor.
In this tutorial, we will take a look at a powerful and useful V-Ray material called Vray Switch Material (VraySwitchMtl). We will see two ways on how to use it, a simple straightforward way, and a more advanced way.
In this video, we will continue with the Loft series, we will see some additional features in the Scale feature, plus we will learn about another feature called Twist.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to convert a procedural map into a regular texture map. This is useful when you try to export your model to another software, since those procedural maps belong to Max, and they are generated using an algorithm.
In this tutorial, we will look at the issue of invisible cross sections inside the Loft tool. This happens when you choose Editable Splines or shapes with Edit Spline modifier as a cross-section. I will explain why they happen, and what can we do in that scenario.
In this second part of the TurboSmooth modifier's series, we will learn how to use the Smoothing groups option to constrain the smoothing in a certain direction. Also, how can add a second TurboSmooth after that to create a kind of fillet between the polygons.
