This is unofficial, and may be removed if Autodesk feels it improper, but I thought it was a good way to verify which are bugs and workarounds where available. Start your own thread on the bug so people can reply, discuss and test whether it is a bug or not THERE, NOT HERE. Always, read the whole thread before posting the bug so that we don't have 10 versions of the same bug reported. If you feel you're adding to a description, we can edit the original report and delete your duplicated report no problem so go ahead and add the additional info in your report. Keep it short and simple. Explain the bug and explain how to reproduce it only. If you have a sample image to better explain it, post that as well. If posting a reply to this thread, limit it to only reports of new bugs you suspect you ran into. Discussions should not be carried into this thread, discussions should take place in your copy thread that is meant for testing and verification.

I've been able to use the 2D tile map to make decent bricks, but now I want some details on the corners of the building. For example, the corners of this picture: [url=http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/10548/10548,1290882937,3/stock-photo-the-corner-of-an-old-brick-building-66024646.jpg]Click[/url]. As a beginner, I can think of two ways. 1)Make completely new objects and nest them around the corners, 2) use a Composite Map and alpha the heck out of it. I'm using Arch&Design (which might not be ideal, but bear with me :) ), and I see the "Round Corners" special effect. Would there be a way to make my round corners a texture that could match the effect I'm going for? Any other ideas?

How do I save/revert to the default settings (UI, Rendering, Even pop up the tutorial box upon opening), so that I can muck around with things and still be safe if I break something.

I just noticed this after wasting rendertime for about 3000 frames without getting pics. I JUST CAN'T believe this s**t, 3ds just messed up my current job together with the deadline. Can someone reproduce this? Is this that complicated to just fix bugs and introduce new features instead of introducing NEW BIG bugs? EDIT: it is just even worse: batch render is simply saving over and over one pic, without inserting suffix numbers. 2012-04-29T08:14:47+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/3ds-max-wont-start-or-load-and-gives-no-error-msgs/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/3ds-max-wont-start-or-load-and-gives-no-error-msgs/page-last/#When:10:03:34Z Ok,... I am lost. I have tried everything in my power to figure this out but 3ds Max just wont load. I click on the application and get a small flicker of the hourglass with no response from the program. I open task manager durring this just to watch and have about a 3/4 of a second flickering indication that the application was started... then it dissapers... no error.. no crash info... and have had this happen on two installs... I thought that I was just not installing it correctly... I haven't found any info in the blogs, posts, or hotfix files,.. is there any data on this?... its only the trial version of 3ds max design 2010...would love to show my supervisor the power of 3ds Max... but cant even open the program to show anything... any help would be great... heck even a stick in the eye would be more than I have. 2012-04-27T10:03:34+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/sounds-volume-gets-normalized/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/sounds-volume-gets-normalized/page-last/#When:05:39:45Z Hi, i'm adding a song to my animation with the mini curve editor, and the song gets normalized, like the volume of the song goes down and then up. How can i prevent this so that the song plays at the same volume always? thanks... 2012-04-27T05:39:45+02:00
