adding extra icons to 3ds max

[Cesar R]

does anyone know how to add extra icon to make a custom UI in max?

for example I want to ADD a button with the "default" disketter graphic to the "save file" command. so far I have a button that says "SAVE" but i want to replace it with a graphic and unfortunally I can't find that icon inside maxes toolbars...

You must make two sets of icons: 2 icons with 16 x 16 px and 2 icons with 24 x 24 px, bit depth equals 24 bit (but I'm think - it's don't important) in Windows .BMP format.

The naming conveicing:

name_16a.bmp 16x16, alpha mask of icon

name_16i.bmp 16x16, icon

name_24a.bmp

name_24i.bmp

Then you need save them to "\3dsMax8\UI\Icons".

In the 3ds Max in customize toolbars mode right click on icon and select "Edit Button Appearance" in the dialog box switch to "Image Button" and from group select "name" (for our example)
