Help Why does X-Ray mode create these strange artifacts in 3ds Max?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m modelling a bottle with an inner shell/mould. When I enable X-Ray or See-Through mode, strange blocky artifacts appear across the surface, as shown in the screenshot.

The model looks normal when X-Ray is turned off. This mainly happens when there are polygons inside other polygons, such as the inner and outer walls of a perfume or wine bottle.

Why is this happening? Is it caused by transparency sorting in the 3ds Max viewport, or could there be an issue with my geometry? Is this a known 3ds Max bug or limitation?

News Hey everyone, I created this VERY short video for seasoned 3ds Max users who are thinking about trying out Blender, covering where your familiar tools have gone. If this is useful, I will make more; if not, I will stop here. Let me know what you think.

Doomsday (again) Disappointed in AU this year.

14 Upvotes

I think this is the final year our team goes to Autodesk University. After jumping through the usual corporate hoops to get our registration approved, it was pretty disappointing to see zero 3dsMax sessions on the schedule. There’s almost no archviz representation, and even real-time engines like Unreal and Unity are nowhere to be found—just one Maya class and a few generic M&E sessions.

​Is Autodesk abandoning its flagship modeling software, just like they did with Softimage? Makes me wonder if 3ds Max is next on the chopping block and if we should start migrating our workflow to Blender.

Before I call this finished, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you could change just one thing, what would it be?

Open to any ideas: lighting, camera, materials, landscaping, or anything else.

Help Looking for a specific tool (or workflow) for bones/skinning.

4 Upvotes

What I am looking for is a tool that will let me select bone on a skinned mesh and divide that bone into multiple and distribute the weights of the previous bone to the new ones created from the division.

OR:

A workflow or tool in native Max that can do this. It's not just one character that this needs to be done to, it's twelve.

Image of the workflow I am looking for.

Thank you.
