danb4026 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 What would the workflow be if one person was working on geometry for a building and the other was applying materials, so each scene updates with the others changes? I cannot seem to get the xref'ing correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dollus Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Have you tried to xref the materials via the material editor into your bldg scene and update them as work progresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Schroeder Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Look at using Containers in Max. They are like xrefs, but have some more features. I've never used them, but I've wanted to check them out. http://cgcookie.com/max/2012/03/08/xref-vs-containers/ http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/shawn/3ds_max_containers_techniques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danb4026 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Thanks guys.....I will definitely be looking into containers, but I am on a deadline, so no time for that right now. Having always worked alone, I have very little experience with xrefs or containers from the standpoint of "team" workflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
