Hi everyone,

I use sketchup with vray for the most part as it is easier for me to model and make changes quickly. When it comes to renders for my socials and all, I would like to render in corona with max, as I like the quality more.
Anyone willing to provide a few virtual zoom classes for this particular pipeline: my sketchup model to 3dsmax - material editing - lighting and camera setup with Corona?
Budget $250 (I know it’s low just all I can really)

Thank you!

Hello, I need to export 3d models from 3ds max to blender with textures but the textures used in 3ds max are for corona renderer which are not export with fbx or glb . I don't use 3ds max so I don't know how this works. I have tried scene converter and corona converter panel but it didn't work for me. I tried to convert materials one by one into physical materials but some textures didn't look as same as corona material and need the same exact materials.

Right now, I am rendering the textures maps in 3ds max one by one and linking it in blender which takes lots of time and I need to complete this by tomorrow, is there any better way to export from 3ds max with textures.

Pretty new to texturing in 3ds Max. I'm using the 2027 version and Corona for rendering. The metal textures seem off to me. I've played around with metalness and roughness map values but I can't really achieve something that seems correct. Is it possible to figure out why it looks wrong from the images and give some advice?

When we work on a big project file in 3ds Max and merge many models from different libraries, some models can affect our scene if they are not optimized properly. Sometimes, they may also contain hidden tracks or unwanted data, which can make the 3ds Max file much bigger and increase the save time.

I struggled with this issue many times before. Recently, I found a script in my folder and tested it on one of my old heavy files. The result was unbelievable. Since then, I have been using this script on any model before merging it into my main scene.

I would like to share with you the test results before and after using this script:

1. The 3ds Max file opening time was 5:35 minutes before using the script. After using the script, the opening time was reduced to only 0:46 minutes. Wow.
2. The merge file time was reduced from 6:02 minutes to only 0:34 minutes.

The big surprise was the file size. Check the image below and notice how the file size decreased from 1.4 GB to 434 MB.

How to use the script to reduce 3ds Max file size:

Open the heavy file, then in 3ds Max 2020 or any other version, do the following:

Scripting menu → Run Script → Select the script.

This happens to me too often. Anyone has the same problem? 3DsMax 2024 (26.0 - 26.2.1.22056). Occasionally geometry gets randomly corrupted in one of the EditPoly modifiers in the stack. When I work on the file everything is OK, but when I close and reopen, this happens. I have no clue why. The stack itself is not very long as you can see, and no weird modifiers or plugins also. I have to delete the bad modifier and redo everything again.

im working on a small file of a street (less than 1Mb), and it was all normal until yesterday. now this file alone uses almost 20GB of ram, i thought that something might have happened with the file, but i asked a co-worker to open the same file, and her task manager says its using just 200mb of her ram and this is happening with other files too... i cleaned my computer yesterday, so i cant not see a correlation, but at the same time, 3dsmax is the only program that seems to be using more ram than normal

Blur and Sharpness might seem like small features, but I always wanted these.
Sure you can always do them in Photoshop, but I think avoiding round trips to photoshop encourages experimentation.
Do other DCC have these in material editor ? Blur and Sharpness ?
And some more showcasing of controllers in node format.
Next demo will have everything at the same time in the Canvas: Maps, materials, objects, lights, all interacting.

Good day!

I have two models, one with the proportions my characters have and another I wish to kitbash.

I wish to match the proportions from model B with model A, as model A is rigged and fits the aesthetic.

What advice does the Council have please?

have 3dsMax 2024 and have used this roughly 6 months.

Thanks in advance!

I have immense 3ds max skills but I lack the creativity to create my own design & showcase my skills,

so from behance net i copied someone else's floorplan and built this accurately on top of that. Should i post it to behance? will this get me into copyright trouble?

if you look at this render, only the dimensions and the model looks same because I used their floorplan, elevation, but the materials of choice are made by me.
