Thanks Anathema - must get my copy of 3DSMax working sometime

does eanyone know were i can get a free good quality semi scene for 3ds max i need a car hauler or a nascar trailer open. and is there a way to like cut parts off a car for like a shop?

set the object to editable mesh. Then you can adjust polygons and vertices.

Make sure 'ignore backfacing' is checked, then just select all the polygons of the peice you want. Then go the edit menu and choose 'Invert selection' and hit delete. This will delete everything except the peices you selected.

no im wanting to like make butterfly doors

actuly im wanting to make this trailer open so i can put cars in it its a scene

You probably have to clone objects before you change some stuff. Be creative. You have one Object 'Car'. Clone it. You have 2 Objects 'Car'. On the one car you delete all polygons that belong to the door. On the other car you delete all polygons around the door. Now you have 2 objects: One car without door. And one stand-alone door. Now You can turn and move the object door how you like. With the hauler it is nearly the same.

This thread is not for asking questions about the basic use of 3dmax. This thread is for posting finished scenes.

o well this is what i got so far.

That's a lot work for getting the doors open on a car, have you tried the unattach function?

were is that at im a new to 3ds max

If you wanted to create an opening door for example, select the polys for the door and in the rollout on the right, hit the 'Detach' button and from the popup, select 'As Object'. Now the door is a completely separate mesh for you to do with as you like.

For best results after that, I normally then select the 'Pivot' tab from the top-right of 3DS and adjust the pivot point for the door to where the hinges would be, you can also set a min / max angle IIRC so that you can make the door open and close to specific angles.. much easier then to control when you open / close the doors with the rotate tool for various scenes

There's an FZR scene that's been relesed with 3D headlights, think it's on page 1 of this thread.

Hmm.. go back into normal mesh mode (click on the 'polygon' entry in the stack again). Make sure the trailer mesh is still selected, right-click and select 'Convert to editable poly'. Now select 'polygon' from the stack again and re-select the polys as you have in the screenshot above and the rollout on the right should change to a much larger one.. in there you'll find the 'Detach' button.

I don't have MSN, sorry.

Hello!
I used 3ds max 8 before installing my XP again, and now I downloaded 3ds max 9! I discovered that the names of the folders changed, so I don't really know where to copy the scenes, images, plugins, because I haven't found such folders... Could someone please tell me where to copy these files? Thanks

FOr 3dxmax9 they are located under your My Documents-> 3dxmas9..

Thanks

Now I'm looking for nice wheels that can be used instead of the original ones, which are too boring. I have seen a lot of renders with fantastic wheels, but still can't find any page to download some.
I would be glad if someone help me

Krautracing has some nice rims. But they got mentioned in this thread before.

http://kr-downloads.de/CMS/ind ... &gid=20&Itemid=29

google is also your friend. You might get linked to Turbosquid

Dont tell me you find nothing when you type the right keywords in the google search field. Just don't do it.

Woot! Really nice rims, thanks for them

any time i download these scenes i always get this \/\/

required by dr.gonzo some BF1 wheels from RFactor for 3dsmax7

sry i was too lazy to search all the right textures for the rims so i put all textures from the original scene in the zip file

Thank you. :spin:

Now I can improve my BF1 Scene.
