3dsmax Users could u help me on a little problem.

[BreakPoint]

I wnt to move the Main Toolbar into the area where the tab buttons are for objects and what else is there. Everytime i try to drag it up there nothing happens. I see in the VTM tutorial at 3dbuzz that the instructor has the Main Toolbar in the tabbed area. How do i do this? Thanks!

 

[Stone]

In the VTM buzz version they must be using a eariler version of Max, when it was part of the tab toolbar, Not sure if you can put it abck now though :x

 

[BreakPoint]

it was 3dsmax 4

These are all unknowledgable people (this wasn't edited by Stone to remove the noobs, even though it wasn't offensive)
right click on the main bar that u want to be in the tabs and there is an option saying dock in tabs or something.

....or just load up a custom UI. discreet-light.ui is a nice one. Customize>Load Custom UI Scheme

tbh just make your res a lot higher so u don;t have to do the *ANNOYING* draging on the toolbars which just gets so anoying and boring. Also make your primatives to the side because I am lazy and its the main one I use. Not Like I havn't got space anyway also get rid of the anoying blue theme on windows XP and use windows classic. Then u will be a pro modeller also get an nvidia card instead of radeon when u next upgrade cos they are better for 3dgraphics.

This Post was not edited by stone, at all, so don't point fingers at him.... :dozey:

I got another question, where do u find the Animate button to start animatioins?

How do u change u viewport background also?

 

[Stone]

top box, is viewport background.....

bottom box is animation controls

hope this helps :cheese:

 

[BreakPoint]

i was curious where the "Animation" button was to "Start" animating.

 

[Stone]

to start animating, arg, follow a tutorial but the basic way is to use the auto key key, to automatically make a key frame, when you change something

 

[BreakPoint]

ok thanks

 

[BreakPoint]

Thanks for helping me out guys, one more question tho, How do i change the way of selection, right now i need to outline the whole object to slect it, how do i only make it so i need to only outline part of the object to select it. This would help alot, thanks!

I went thriugh alot of VTM today and they really help and teach!

 

[spin]

There is a button on the toolbar that can be toggled for either partial or complete selection.

Partial

Complete

 

[Stone]

[BreakPoint]

[Stone]

[Thadius Dean]

ok, ok, how did you guys pay for this thing??

 

[Stone]

got given it, by my current course as it is vital to the course..

/me does victory dance.....

 

[BreakPoint]

try getting it in the way u mention, thats how everyone gets theirs!

 

[Thadius Dean]

and what type of course is this? i might look into it.

im guessing for later though, im only 14.

 

[Stone]

I'm doing a graphic design course, and really it isnt vital, it's just most of my portfolio consisted of 3d work, so they thought they'd give me a copy.... (well i let them use some of my work for a poster about the course, so it was only fair)

 

[Thadius Dean]

Graphic Design???? your kidding! thats exactly what i want to do, along with atomic sciences or w/e its called.
