Show your support for 3ds Max in new Autodesk Survey

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z6H8D7P

NOTE: the survey has a couple bugs: First question choose NONE and when asks for what software you know of, do not click ALL... they will cause the survey to bug out and fail.

General Discussion / Re: Substance Engine 5+ in Max

I did not see the news about Substance2 Plugin v 2.1.1 . That release fixed many of the bugs that kept me from using it. I have tested the update and it seems to work without production-killing bugs. I'd now install the latest Substance2 plugin if you are using Max 2018+. In those cases, you can also tell any Wall Worm function that utilizes substance to use the newer plugin by turning on the Substance2 setting in the Materials tab of the global setting. Note I suggest only using that setting if you have Substance2 2.1.1+.

Can you explain your interest in knowing about my personal background on this topic? I'm not clear on this.

Like many, 3D started out as a hobby for me. It moved to professional several years ago.

Wall Worm News / New Website for Hammered to the Max
« Last post by wallworm on September 14, 2018, 09:49:09 AM »
I've launched a new website called Hammered to the Max. It is a companion to the book of the same name. This site is located at www.hammeredtothemax.com .

The site is still a WiP. It isn't styled yet. The intent of this is to be a simple hub of information for Hammer users (and other new Max users) trying to learn Max.

I'm looking for a background image to use. Anyone who has a scene built entirely in Max who wants to let me use a render or screenshot for the site background, please let me know. I'll be looking to get some cool imagery on it in the coming weeks.

Animated Models / Re: Animated Model's Collision Model Rotating 90 Degree
« Last post by wallworm on September 14, 2018, 09:14:59 AM »
Try to make sure that the Rotate $origin option is off.

Other than that, make sure all hull pieces and bones are not scaled. Remember that each element of the hull should be skinned 100% to the bone it belongs to.

Also, there was bug with studiomdl.exe I reported to a Valve employee and he confirmed that bug where sometimes hulls are rotated incorrectly in game although they are correct in HLMV and the SMDs/QC are as expected. That was for CSGO. I will see if there was any news on that. Since I think this bug manifested around the time the CSGO studiomdl.exe added support for using FBX, you might consider exporting as FBX instead of SMD in WW (or even DMX if you have WW Pro).

I do not understand the nature/intent of the question. Of course all of my customers and users are those who use 3ds Max since that is the DCC on which I focus.
