Problems with Converting Biped to Bones via FBX import.

45682 — 2009-11-14T17:11:02+00:00

I am trying to convert a biped into bones by exporting the biped to an FBX file

I am following the tutorial "Creating Animated Bones with Biped" in the Max 2010 help files on how to do this.

Essentially it's says you create a biped, export the biped to an FBX file.
Reset the scene
Import the FBX file and setting the bones height and width to 3.

When i follow these steps my bones are not properly scaled. That is to say they're all skinning and look nothing like the results in the tutorials.

I am guessing for course but it seems to be ignoring the scale values regardless of what i put in. I could put in 100000 and still not change.

I even took the CreateBones_start.max file (the one from the tutorial) and still, the same issue.

I have SP1 and the latest FBX plugin installed.

Can anyone plz tell me what is going on or what i am doing wrong.

Needed sound fx and voiceover Animation programs?

19857 — 2009-07-13T06:47:53+01:00

Firstly I do not want a complicated or high end professional stop motion program. I also do not want to spend more than say $80 dollars. I want it to have sound capability such as sound fx and voiceover. I do not want to have to export to another program to add sounds. It is for windows use by the way not mac.I will be using it with a Logitech Pro 9000 webcam.

All your suggestion helps me to take decision !!

animated feature looking for 3D StudioMax talent

43964 — 2009-06-15T18:12:46+01:00

We are currently in the last few weeks of production on an animated feature. All character animation is 2D with Flash, all backgrounds are 3D with 3D Studiio Max. My current Max person is dropping balls and I'm looking for a possible replacement. This would be primarily a final lighting and output job, with a small amount of extra set dressing. This is an inhouse position, working directly with the Producer and Director. A significant number of final backgrounds have already been output - this position would be about finalizing lighting and output of the rest.

Contact Bob via phone or email.

Hello there,

I would like to teach myself how to use 3D Studio Max, i'm after some books that would be good for the newbie starting from the basics. Something with a step by step guide with tasks in it would be really good.

Thanks

Re: chamferbox

21950 — 2009-05-05T18:51:25+01:00

Hi

If you go to create, then splines select rectangle. after you have created it, select the rectangle then go to the modifier, and in that you can change the corner radius to what you want.

Now go to the modifier list, press extrude, this will make the rectangle spline, 3 dimensional.

I hope this is of some help, if not please feel free to ask more.

Good luck, Tiff

i am using gmax i prefer 3ds max, but gamx has a way of exporting to mdl, but i think 3dsmax and gmax or of the same family ie an earlier version, i am quite versed with smax, i have built models in gmax but i have always had problems placing textures, i textured a house but had to start again and now i cannot remember how to do it, basically cannot replicate texturing, i selected each polygon and drag and dropped texture to it, not much help gmax wise on the net, it being old, but it seems the same as 3dsmax, so wondering if someone would point me in the right direction, i have created alot of models, for fsx but the textures are holding me back, also i have duplicate parts, how do i find these, i joined two chimney pots which for some reason were not part of the overall mesh, chimney 1 was mesh 12 chimney 2 mesh 11 etc the house being mesh 10, i export and get error duplicate parts cannot export, this was after i made the three meshes into one, hope this isnt too long and someone ca...

Re: Modelling/rendering issues...

21950 — 2009-04-08T12:21:46+01:00

Hi Kriss,

It is dificult to say what your problem is, but I will have a go.

I would say your computer spec. sounds sufficient to cope with most renders. Saying that max3d is a very powefull bit of software.

Are you using deplacement materials, these will slow down your computer a lot?
Also materials with reflection can slow thing lots.

Some of my more complex images have taken 24hrs or more to do a single frame render.

Are you using standard(scanline renderer) or something else like v-ray, If you use standard renderer and v-ray materials, you will have problems.

Can you tell me more about the scene you are trying to render?

I hope this has been of some help to you, please let me know how you get on.

Tiff

Texture Baking Question

21069 — 2009-02-03T23:11:14+00:00

I am trying to bake textures and am getting some strange output. I followed this tutorial:

"http://www.maxfanatic.com/?p=24" onclick="this.target='_blank';" rel="nofollow"

When the texture bake output is complete, I get all of the geometry broken up into each face on the texture which is like a giantic puzzel. I know I can tell it to apply the baked texture back to the source and that is done. The baked texture in this example is a huge waste of space and I need to optimize the maps, say one for each wall, and then the objects. How can I get Max to render more effecitly instead of giving me a 1024 X 1024 large map? The oringal textures I created are 512 X 512 but beause of the output settings and the way the maps are made, they are reduced to 128 X 128.

For my needs, I need to remap the baked textures to my objects and there is no way I can manually texture each face. Example, I have a room and I merge/attach all the objects together. The room ha...
