      Yeah... I was wondering too. I think 3DS max 2015 has the other editor as a default. Thanks!

    OMG WQOOHOOOOOOO FINALY FIGURED THIS CRAP Problem with the non selecting out after 2hours of Fiddling with settings and boxes. RIGHT PEOPLE! :D. Select a sphere in materials window > Click Blinn Basic Parameters (click the grey box on the right of 'Diffuse' > Select your material from the list (you should have already saved your material to the library), click Ok and now click the 'Assign Material to Selection' icon under all the spheres (third from left) and click 'Show Standard Map In Viewport' (fourth icon from the right) and EUREKA!!!! sometimes a struggle is good. Makes the reward so much sweeter haha. Hope this helps others. GL : ]

    @AnchorheadMedia The top button on the right coloumn next to the sample windows lets you display your material as spheres, cubes or cylinders. What people use is just a personal preference and doesn't affect the material at all

    @WithLoveFromKay Press "M". In the upper left corner of the window that pops up, there is a button called "Modes". Click on it, then click on "Compact Material Editor". You should be fine and have the same as in the video.

    I haven't seen all the tutorials yet. But I'm wondering if this program has a "bone" animation technique.
    It's where you have skinny pyramid lines and you can move them around to control a kind of skeleton thing. When you render it out, the skin comes out on top.

  • @leostar18
    @leostar18 15 лет назад

    OK this is very helpful and you present it in a very clear manner, but I have a question.
    I found that I am able to apply different colors to my object using the way you've shown, but when I use the same method with textures, i.e. 'Noise' (as you have picked) and others, such as 'Wood', the object remains the same.
    Is there a different method for applying textures?
    Appreciate your feedback, tks!

    Just realized you can go to the Modes menu in the toolbar and switch it to Compact Material Editor. Much nicer.

    Great job on the videos, they're teaching me everything i know about 3ds and its helping a lot. But did anyone else notice you were able to right click in this video? I thought it was freezing your recording the the rest of the videos. Just a random thought, keep up the awesome work :)

    @thenewboston
    I'm using 3ds max 2013 and i went to material editor. I picked one of the default thingies and selected noise. Then i added custom textures for the a and b colors. Now I can't seem to apply it to anything because the options are shaded and not letting me click on them. I can't drag and drop, i can't apply to selection, or put it to the scene. I really need to texture the planes I'm working with otherwise they look to CGI being only one color. Can you help?
    ~Thanks

  • @dorpho55

    Hey, is there any chance how i can transfer JUST the material settinggs from material #1 to another one (material #2) and overwrite so an existing material (#2) from the scene in one or two clicks (instead of always use find selected materials and re-apply the desired material to them .. that method is working but quiet annoying and takes ages ... Thx

    @mathiasholland3667 9 лет назад

    I have checked out many tuts on this, none of them very helpful. One major issue and difference is I do not have that 'Blinn Basic Parameters' section available, where the Diffuse option is. Really annoying. I am using 3ds 2014. Anyone know why I do not get that damn section in my material editor?? Or anyone know a tut vid that starts from the beginning, showing me everything to do to set this up? All of these videos appear to be for ppl already relatively fluent in 3ds. My skills after only 2 weeks of use are not that advanced.

    @Jizzlewobbwtfcus 9 лет назад

    Right this has pissed me off so badly now. I have a BMP file of a snake skin tile (offset it in Photoshop)I want to apply to a sphere. I have saved it to the Materials library and I find it under 'Material' > 'Get Material' > [Tick] Mtl Library (first option on my list), double click it so it shows on the selected material sphere (which it does) and try to click and drag....nothing happens. I try to click 'Apply to Material Selection' icon (third from left right under all the spheres) and STILL nothing. I'm at my wits end. Was REALLY motivated to get some work done today but Googling this problem has solved nothing :[
