Hey guys any ideas.... thx

Quick question, maybe someone out there knows the fix. Problem: Keep loosing texture applications in my max file that is a link cad file from revit everytime I re-link the the file in max. I am using 201 for both max and revit, I export my revit 3d file into 2010 dwg format and then link it using the revit preset in max. But everytime there is an update of the revit file and I export and then link into max I loose some textures in objects that have not been changed or moved. I know that new geomtery created in revit comes in "new" but the whole point of linking the file is to have a smooth workflow between max and revit. Any ideas of the fix? I was told there might be a solution in the revit preset in max... thx

need the mtlwrapper beacuse I have found out that it is a very easy way to simulate real lighting on interior scenes. Just apply the wrapper mtl to the light layer or light panel objects and you have a good lighting solution. I figured it out, since I am using exponential I needed to up the value to 100 on the lightmtl, solved the issue! Thanks

Two part question: Do you guys know of other webistes that are similar to this one: http://www.sacl-interactive.com/home/index.html And do you know of a web design company that can do it, I mean just the web part only. 3D is on our end. Thanks,

Have a problem (second time this happens). Created a new mtlwrapper with a lightmtl as a base, applied the mtlwrapper to the object in my scene, it IS casting light but it is NOT rendering with a glow, it comes out a flat dull gray color.... what gives. Created a sphere just to check the model and mtl, and the same, it generates light but the sphere renders flat, like a 2d disk.... Any ideas what might be the problem and the fix??? Thanks!

I have some friends that are on a bit of a pickle, they have a 64 bitt Max-Vray model that they need to run an animation off but the farm in the office is running on 32 bit. Is there a way to "downgrade" an existing file from 64 to 32??? Many thanks in advance They are using max 9 and vray 1.5 r3 thanks!!!

Ever since we upgraded to 3dsmax9 and vray 1.5 we have been experiencing a whole bunch of minor errors when sending our jobs to backburner. Our most recent error is telling us: "error using bitmap: U:\settings\mydocuments\3dsmax\sceneassets\images" We don't have anything in our U drive, our U drive is our personal drive sort of like C drive\my documents in a personal computer... Has anybody run into difficulties in using backburner 3 and max9??? Thanks:)

Sorry for butting in but we are in the process of changing our tree plug-in for Max from Speedtree to something else and we were looking into Onyx but I keep reading great things from VUE and VUE xtream (http://www.e-onsoftware.com/products/xstream/vue_5_xstream_plugins/). I was wondering if it is a good software to use in both stills and animations and how it would copare with speedtree or onyx. thanks in advance!

Hey I have the same stupid problem, and NON of the solutions work, check or unchecked, or one or the other, it keeps detaching all material to link cad geometry and gets rid of the uvw mapping.... what gives???

Can you guys recommend some 3d viz companies that do good real-time model-rendering work. Thanks in advance. Also, what is the best plug-in for in-house real-time stuff?

Oh damn it guys... i fell for it!!! But then when I saw the preste setting for Zuliban or Qhen the I had to stop and read it better.. That would make it the best upgrade ever, it seems that MR is trying to make a real effort this time... we even want their settings in vray??? maybe it is time to take a second look at MR...maybe

Guys for some reason I can't seem to get a movie preview for an animation in 3dsmax8... I have tried running it with smooth highlights or just the wireframe view and it does not let me run it.. Any ideas why and how to fix it... Many thanks in advance

Guys thanks for the respone, we are looking at several companies plus we will also review your stuff. And yes we are doing the design, I specifed mixed-use beacuse those type of images are more entourage based than building base so it is more than just a sexy looking building, need some good photoshop and artistic eye for them. WDA great, will send you a PM.

What 3d firms do you guys recommend that are very good at "mixed-use" building type? You know the type of images that are more about the "social enviroment" than the sexy building. It does not matter where they are from. We are looking for quality work, fast work and depending on quality - price. Thanks
