hello mates i need yor help converting a model i just purchased from 09 to 08 (3ds will do) didnt notice when i bought it and now im stuck of course the kind gentleman will enjoy a free model for his use (wheel-chair, descsent model, from turbosquid) tnx in advance

hello everyone, havnt been here in a while.. anyways ive downloaded the archi 12 trial version to check out whats new from graphisoft. so far it looks good, the only problem is that ever so often the software freezes over, for several minutes at a time. i got a very descent pc with a good graphic card (geforce 6800 ultra) so i dont think its my pc doing poorly. so is it a compatability problem? or is it just because its a trial version? hope anyone knows about this tnx in advance..

wouldnt hurt if u were more polite about it..

funny how max can drive people mad.. never seen this one before max has a way of preserving all kinds of settings uve used before. segments of a sphere, interpolation of shapes and lines, and fillets of rectangles as well. keep that in mind next time u "dare" challenging max's default settings of anything.. cheers mate

no one said there isnt a way to do it, just that its not worth the effort.. if u dont trust me then i guess ull see for yourself. but if i might add- one of the points of turning to a forum like this is learning from other peoples experience and getting solutions to problems u havnt thought of. a kind of "think tank" if u will. while being stubborn can be quite fun (especially when ur right ), most times its just unproductive... sorry for the whipping good luck

if ur going with poly then theres no need for any kind of booleans, just select the polygons u want gone and delete them. id do an inverse extrude first to give the opening some detail. but if u want the opening to be straight thn ggo with pro boolean. it doesnt matter if its a poly or mesh to that matter.

never heard of such a thing, just model it. a short cut isnt allways the shortest way...

no need for booleans here. either use pro-boolean (try installing it anyways it might work with max7 as well) or just do the whole thing using edit mesh or edit poly (negative extrude). ull get better results than either one of em.

solved it! all u have to do is componsate w the same but negative value in the shift tab wish i had searched the forum sooner.. tnx anyways (chad warner i think?)

hi all a little prob i got- im trying for the 1st time the 'vray disp' mod for bricks on the walls. i actually like the outcome which is more convincing than the bumo option besides the only issue of the "splits" i get on the corners. ive tried the 2d & 3d options but to no success. ive also tried the regular displacement method but again w no success, so any tips on the matter? im posting here cuz i suppose u can solve this in other ways other than vrays way. tnx in advance!

if its not alot mats then u can use the 'pick material from object' tab, left to your mat name. about the debugging issue- it happened to me quite a few times as well but unfortunatly i dont know of another way other than what uve done. in autocad for example theres a 'recovery' utility which is very handy and saves 90% of damaged files ive come across. push it on the max wish list, maybe someone will take notice..

again a vray q.. and not clear what is the problem.. do u mean artifacts?
