hey. i've been using gmax for all of my models i've created so far. I'd like to use 3dsmax though. not only to be able to have a better modeling tool but to also be able to open 3ds files by other people. I had a free trial of 3dsmax and I never used it. when I tried using it today I figured out that had expired. so I deleted the files that were associated with it and redownloaded it. when i went to install it it said that 3dsmax as currently installed on the system so it wont install it... there's no 3ds anything on my system other then the extracted file with the installer in it. any idea's on possibly getting 3dsmax without paying 3.5k?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^this is fixed^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I however have new problem. I can't get the mod toolkit to find my 3dsmax. it's version 9. I have tried everything. I renamed it to just what the MDT said it was looking for. I even took it out of the autodesk folder and put it in the descreet folder.
currently the MDT 3dsmax tools can't find an instillation of 3dsmax even though I moved it into the same folder as the actual 3dsmax program.
I even tried to manually take the gmax MDT plugins and put them into the 3dsmax plugins. didn't work so well. I even googled it first. nothing. I searched here. I found a post. with nothing. is there any way to actually do this?? why couldn't they just let you do it manually?? they just had to have an installer... that doesn't work.
