Thanks

I appreciate your kind thoughts.

I understand your frustration. I have my own views. The idea of taking a cube and then trying to make it NOT look like a cube is just idiotic. Yes, we had to do that in 1990 when the tools weren't very good. But there is no reason to do it now. By they way, not a lot of difference between the basic functuality of Max 2016 and Max 2024. Pretty sure nothing in this demonstration is any different than in Max 2016. Thanks for the comment.

You bet.

Hey, how do the copies help with the work flow?

@@ca18detboost When you are making t spline, you can use 3d face, bodies,edges, sketches. So if you make some more variations, you can save some copies. Also you can adjust numbers of tspline points while you convert those 3d elements.

Absolutley

Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am aware of the Loop Tools and the Circle Loop. There are many ways to deal issues when modeling. In this particluar demonstration there are several concepts I am demonstrating to the students. So it's not a quick do this sort of demonstration. I am teaching how to extract a spline from a piece of geo, how to cap a spline, how to scale to a common center, and how to use Axis Constraints. Again, thanks for the comment.

He thought Dak was going to rare back and throw the ball and he would plaster Dak. But Dak pulled up, step forward into the pocket and avoided him. Smart move by Dak.

@eudymaverickmentor he didn't step up he ducked wasn't smart dak it was stupid LBr

@@truspirit1925 I see. So his feet moving forward wasn't him stepping forward. OK. You said "he ducked". So you don't think it was smart to duck?. Ok. If you say so.

Nothing easy about it. Dak side stepped his a. s. Clearly you can see he ran into to pile to avoid him. Wasn't no paid acting. GTFOH.

@bachar-maqqabayisrael very poor tackling attempt

Hi. Great question. There are a few reasons. However, the main reason is this. *_A:_* The Physical Material is designed to be cross platformed and not specific to a specific renderer. Physical Material will work with Mental Ray, Arnold, V-Ray, etc. Arnold materials are specific to Arnold. They can ONLY be used with Arnold. So if the Max files are being shared between facilities, some using Arnold to render and others using say V-Ray, then they have to be converted. Now Max tries to deal with it by creating a script to convert them for you. But I think it is unwieldy. *_B:_* It's easier to use. Less confusing options. Especially for those new to the world of Physical Based rendering. Also, the Physical Material has premade template settings. The Arnold material does not. *_C:_* The Physical Material is just a wrapper for the Arnold Material. It's a Physical Material on the outside, an Arnold Material on the inside, so to speak. However, there are some drawbacks. For example, the Physical Material does not support Arnold's "Rounded Corner" bump. Hope this helps.

This is very well explained, Glad I just discovered your channel I feel lucky, thank you so much man, I appreciate your time and effort. @@eudymaverickmentor

You would scale them one by one.

Seems like there would be a way to scale them all at once...@@eudymaverickmentor

@@theapexpredator157 You can easily set an object to a specific size by using the Universal Manipulator (CNTRL+T) and typing in the size. I am not sure of a way to set multiple items all at the same time. Sorry.

That's how I've been doing it thus far. Thanks for the help.@@eudymaverickmentor

I have not really explored GPU. Sorry. Maybe I'll look in to it. You can do everything I did in the video with OSL and Arnold nodes which are compatible with Arnold when in Arnold Compliant mode.

Yes, it is unfortunate the bottle neck of the Max nodes. We can still use them, but only in certain circumstances. Another issue is that one of my favorite Max Procedural maps, especially for generating grunge is Smoke. However, Arnold doesn't recognize it in a Bump slot. It really limits it's use. The Arnold people will tell you to just use the Arnold procedurals but for the most part the Arnold procedurals suck. They are not artist friendly. And none of their settings mimic what can be done with the Max Smoke procedural. Oh well, thus is the nature of the industry. Constant change and adapting. Glad the video was useful to you.

Hi Bryan. I am a little confused by your query. What do you mean you want them more rigid? As far as more realistic, maybe you mean more polished like a river rock. Add a _"Subdivide"_ modifier. Might need to lower _"Size"_ to you liking. Add a _"Turbosmooth"_. Then you could add a _"Noise"_ modifier to make the surfaces a little more dented. If you want them really smooth, then put a _"Retopology"_ modifier on them. Hope this helps.

@@eudymaverickmentor Changed the wording. Sorry! So, what I meant was that the rocks aren't jagged. They appear as blocks that've been separated with a knife, rather than detroyed with parts missing. I also wanted to know if this simulation can be animated on the timeline, or if massfx was only meant to be used for simulation purposes in Max?

@@SawyerArtOfficial MassFX is an animation utility.

@@eudymaverickmentor Is it possible to export the animation?

@@SawyerArtOfficial Yes, you just bake it in to the geo.

I appreciate the kind thoughts.

Thanks for the kind words. The video where I demonstrate it is "The Chrome Loop Materials". It is using a Blend Material. Take note the renderer in the video is Mental Ray. We use Arnold now. So instead of Arch & Design Materials you would use Physical Materials. Otherwise the video is the same. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/8SSkYZksThk/v-deo.html

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, scale is a huge factor in lighting. 3ds Max is an odd software because it's default world scale is set to inches. This is from back in the day of Max's mother, 3D Studio, on DOS. I always require my students to set Max's World Scale to Centimeters since pretty much ever software known to man, such as Maya or say the Unreal Engine is set up in Centimeters. That way anything built to scale in Max is the correct scale if imported into another software. Also, any on my tutorials are created to teach concepts, not so much a specific setting. So someone else's settings may need to be different from my settings due to many factors, one of them being scale.

Please create a video on the right way.

In don't really know the answer to that without doing tests. My initial thought would be no since it is a postprocess.

@@eudymaverickmentor Damnit. :(

I tested it! It works! 1. I made a cube. 2. Put a standard surface material on it with a lot of emissive. 3. Made an Arnold mesh light and assigned the cube to it. 4. Placed the cube next to a pillar in my scene. 5. Baked a lightmap for the pillar. The light map had a big white blotch on it about where the cube is. 6. Moved the cube far away. 7. Baked a second lightmap. No big white blotch.
