Jefferson Grigsby Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Before the days of direct 3D and Xp64, I used the Maxtreme driver for just about everything in Max. Now that we have upgraded to xp64, the Maxtreme driver is no longer supported and does not work. The best feature was its ability to display hi-res textures in the viewport. With Direct 3D, I am limited to 512x512, where Maxtreme allowed up 4096x4096. Thes was great for tracing over large satellite images. does anyone else have a soluation for this, or know if there will be any updated maxtreme drivers for xp64? thanks in Advance Jefferson Grigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin walker Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 you could trace over it in photoshop and then export the path, and bring it into Max ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Grigsby Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 hmm, will give it a try. Still interesrted in finding a new driver for max. Maybe autodesk will find a solution here. thanks Jefferson Grigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mottle Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 It's unfourtunate that the company I know that has a solution for this has no ethics, or I would reccomend them to you. They owed us a great deal of money and they broke a legally binding contract. Have you tried posting on the 3ds max forums? There is likely some GIS guys on there. Found this link on Google, but not sure if it's what you are trying to do. Also requires that you have ArcGIS. http://www.gsd.harvard.edu/gis/manual/arcmap23ds/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
