Hi I'm trying to uvwunwrap a 1/8th part of a globe in 3ds max. When I try to edit the uvw for the partial globe, the geometry doesn't fit the extents of the texture map and I'm struggling to get to fit exactly. see the attached image. I can scale by hand but not precisely to the same size as the texture map. I've tried using "tools/Pack UVs", but this still leaves a small part of the texture not covered. Anyone got any ideas on how to do this ? thanks

Hi does anyone know how to install both 32 bit AND 64 bit windows 7 on a bootcamped Mac ? Bootcamp only lets you create one partition for windows - and after windows is installed, (for example the 32 bit version first) it doesn't seem possible to divide the existing windows partition to install another version of windows. any ideas ? cheers

found a solution in case this helps anyone in the future - I scaled up all the objects in the model and the vraytoon problem disappears :-)

Hi all I'm having a problem with vray toon - see the attached image. I've used vraytoon for creating edges on drawings for years and never had this problem. Its not a double face or coincident face problem - I've checked. I've tried all the tricks I can think of including welding and removing smoothing groups, but nothing works! has anyone had this problem before and has anybody got a solution - I'm stuck here !! urgent project to get finished - help ...!

thanks for the replies I've been using 32 bit for years. However I am now getting more ambitious with the complexity of some of my scenes. I'm therefore thinking of investing in a 64 bit capable software. (Stephan - I did try installing my 32 bit software on the 64 bit OS at first, but had problems getting all plugins to work - so I went back to 32 bit) So in theory, the new partition just needs to be the size required for the 64 bit windows software ? cheers

Hello all does anyone have an answer for the following I want to create a new partition on my hard disk to install windows 7 64bit (I've just done a fresh install of windows 7 32bit). Having never done this before, I was wondering 1. will my .max files created in 32 bit be compatible with 64 bit and vice versa. 2. Will I be able to read from the 32 bit partition when running 64 bit windows, or will I have to have a double copy of my files on the new partition ? 3. what size to make the new partition ? thanks

thanks John

Hi does anyone know which version of autodesk viz is compatible with 3ds max version 8 (not 2008). I have a client using max 8, and wants files to be compatible with his software... cheers

many thanks - that seems to be a standard hotkey cheers

Hi all does anyone know how to select a dummie's children in 3ds max ? I have a .3ds file imported into max. The problem is, all the grouped objects are exploded into loads of smaller objects. But the helpers are still attached to their corresponding objects. I'd like to use the helpers, to select the smaller objects, and turn them back into groups for easy handling. any ideas ? cheers
