aaron886 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Exactly. Wasn't working for me (max 2008.) I need to do some more testing though. Are there any features of max that are no longer supported like groups? Had no problems with that yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckybob9 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 not really sure. I know the arg plugin can be tricky sometimes.

beczl Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The previous Max's use a different Animation assignment method. Since Max2008 you have to assign the argbased animation first than second step you have to assign your animation "assign controller" section the eulerXYZ for the previously defined event for correct animation .

luckybob9 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Interesting to know. I have always assigned the controllers first in the animation tab.

luckybob9 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey LuckyBob, just a small remark on newer MVs: Arg value slider give only minus/plus 0.999 "output" values with maximum left/right moves on the slider line while the predetermined max values are OK: minus/plus 1.00 I was told this is working properly again in version 62153 and above. Everyone should download the newest version. Nevada map contributer EDM Modeling tools FAQ: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1418067&postcount=1 Seo libh a chairde is chanadh liom.

luckybob9 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Dont use bump maps, use Normal Maps.

aaron886 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Peyvolt, check the box labeled "Convert to Tangent Space Normal Map" via the "Normal Map Settings" button in the dds plugin before exporting. Continue to use the "default" material type unless you particularly want your surface to have a strange metallic/reflective sheen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugene Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I know the arg plugin can be tricky sometimes. Can I pick up the argbased controller topic again? I am unable to find this controller in 3ds. I have Audio, Euler etc.. but not the argbased one. Do I have to activate it somewhere or even download it? The Plug-In Manager shows an "Argument Based Controller" (ARGBASEDCTRL2.DLC) as loaded...but I can't use it :(. I'am using the 2011 version.
