I need to access the FOV property of the Perspective viewport. This is not the same as the FOV property associated with target and free cameras. To access the FOV property non-programatically, right click on the viewport name (top left of each viewport), go to configure and under "perspective user view" you can change the FOV. ...
I have a custom plugin for 3ds Max that interfaces with some managed code on the back end. In some circumstances, I'd like to forward along a managed object to MAXScript for direct interaction, i.e. return a wrapped object from one of my functions. MAXScript is able to manipulate managed objects directly relatively well through another ...
I am trying to assemble a scene in opengl, using already made objects. The problem is that the object are in .max format and have no external textures. How could I import my objects in opengl, without retexturing them. I am thinking about exporting them to 3ds and using a 3ds file loader. Could you recommend one, and of course it has to ...
I am having trouble importing a Collada file in Papervision3d. I have done an exhaustive Google search to no avail. All the examples and tutorials end with errors, be they "Can't find materials" errors or simply not showing the file at all. I have tried many different types of Collada files, including a lot of Collada's own from their te...
Best, smallest, fastest, open source, C/C++ 3d renderer (with support of 3ds max models), better not GPL, It should support Lights, textures (better dynamic), simple objects, It should be really fast and it shall have lots of use examples ...
Is is possible to load 3D objects in a Silverlight 3 or Silverlight 4 application? (3DS Max objects or other formats). Besides loading the object I also need some basic interaction - simple rotations, zoom in/out. ...
UPDATE 2: It now appears this is more of a modelling issue than a programming one. Whoops. I'm new to XNA development, and despite my C# experience, I've been stuck at one spot for going on two days now. The situation: I've created a model in 3D Studio Max 2010 which uses two materials, both are of type DirectX Shader. The model export...
I'd like to integrate git into production pipeline to stage 3dsmax files. While it is alright to work with git through TortoiseGit, I'd like to communicate with it from the Maxscript to add custom menu commands to 3dsmax. Should I parse git status output text to determine folder status or should I use some wrapping tool to correctly com...
I am using 3dsmax9 to model objects to convert them to w3d format for import by director. ...
I'm in process of integrating GIT version control system into 3ds max to control .max file versioning. I tested git with max files for several weeks and have found that it suites my needs, but, anyway, git is little bit overcomplicated for this kind of tasks. What I'm looking for is the program that works just like (well, almost) git, b...
i creat a walkcycle in 3ds max. how to loop the animation in 3ds max 2010. ...
I am quite new in 3D programming on iPhone and I would like to ask for hints about organizing a work between designers and programmers on that platform. Most of all: what kind of tools, libraries or plugins cooperate the best on both sides. Although I consider the question as looking for general best-practices advice I would like t...
I've set up a script in 3ds max to render a bunch of animations into frames. To do this, I open up a file with all of the materials, load an animation (as a bip) onto the figure, then render. We were seeing a problem where eventually the script would fail because it was unable to open the next file-- max had consumed all of the system m...
Hey all, Is there any way I can use to make the size of a 3ds file smaller?? I tried to change their length and width using 3dmax but the file size still the same?? I'm using the 3ds files in creating an OpenGl scene so I need to shrink their size as small as I can, any suggestions?? ...
Hi All I am trying to instantiate a program via a python script as follows os.startfile( '"C:/Program Files/Autodesk/3ds Max 2010/3dsmax.exe"' ) since Max takes a bit of time to load, I wanna wait till it has finished loading completely. I check the task manager to see if "3dsmax10.exe" is in the list, but it's in the list as soon as ...
If RPG with the ability to change armors and clothes are made, how is it done? I mean the 3d side mostly If i make normal character, that has flat clothes, it would be easy, just change textures, but question is about armors, which have totally different models. So are only armor models recreated or character model with armor? How is i...

I have found some tutorials in youtube that shows how to do a simple character movement. but it shows only using keyboard navigations to move around. I want to know how to...
Hay, I'm doing a project on virtual realty. I'm doing a virtual walk-through of an museum. I have done the 3D from 3Ds Max 2010 and i have used V-Ray to map the background and stuff. I'm using Virtools to do the walkthrough. I can export files from 3Ds Max 2010 to Virtools. But it dosent exportV-Ray maps to the object. I wants to kno...
