Tip of the day

Hi Friends,, This is  specially for my students  & max users Who sometimes while working  can't anymore move their  object.

Probably they  have pressed the key X. Press again X to enable the move tool (GIZMO).

Similar problem: You can select only one object, all other objects can't be selected anymore: probably you have pressed SPACE and locked the object. Press again SPACE to unlock it.

Neon Effects

Segments

Segment value means how many polygons or divisons (along each axis ) make up each dimension or an object. Higher segment value will make the object smoother & an extra resolution for being affected by modifiers..

Tip of the day

Instead to mesh smooth a box, use from the "extended primitives" a "chamfer box"... the result is the same, but the chamfer box" has less polygons !

The Start New Shape Option

The Start New Shape Option

    creates a new object with every new shape drawn in a

 view port.

Leaving this option unchecked lets you create compound shapes which consists of several shapes used to create one object.

Transform Center

Use Pivot Point Center:-
This is the pivot point of the selected object. The default for selections of a single object.















Use Selection Center:-This is collective center of a selection. The default for multiple selections of objects.

Use Transform Center:-

This is the origin of the current coordinate system that has been selected from the coordinate system drop down list.

Mirror

Hi Friends,, 

My todays post is about how to set Pivot Point &  mirror an object.

First of all select an object which is to be mirrored.

Then Click the Hierachy button & choose the option  Affect Pivot only.

Now Select Align button & click on the centre  object  & choose the options  Align positions  & objects..

Now select the mirror option & click  copy option to get the inverted clone of   the object..

An Important tip

Hello to all the Max heads..I hope you must be getting the max lessons very well. And who are the new readers or followers please read my older posts so you can get it along well. 

Todays tip for max users to speed up your work  is , Lets say you are working on a huge model with lots of complex textures & heavy meshes & these sort of complex scenes take a lot of time to display & render. One thing you  guyz can do to avoid  this type of chaos is just set the different rendering settings for the Active Viewport, All Viewports or All but Active Viewport in the Viewport Configuration Dialog Box, because if every viewport is set to display the highest quality view then updating each viewport can slow the program.

And still if you ever get stuck in the halfway  to complete a task  just press the Esc key to suspend any task immediately..

3ds Max

In 3ds Max there are  lots of keyboard shortcuts but the concept of Cut, Copy , Paste doesn't really work in Max like in most of other Window Programs  Ctrl + C is used for copying but in max it is used for creating camera. So if your fingers are used to use this shortcut often, just be careful..
