Title: How to view your textures on 3DSMax
Post by: catgowoof on July 08, 2009, 12:54:07 AM
Here's an easy way to view your textures without having to load it on Brawl first.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL 3DS MAX 9 WHERE FOUND ON A UNKNOWN WEBSITE AND I AM UNCERTAIN *wink* THAT THEY WILL WORK AT ALL.


1)You may be able to find a full version of max somewhere around this page, but i am complete unsure if it will be helpfull at all *wink* *wink* (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3552267/3D_Studio_Max_9_-_Complete)
Alternatively download the free 30 day trial here: (skip to 16) if you do)
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/mform?id=10083915&siteID=123112

2) Install 3DS Max 9
3) Launch 3DS Max 9
4) Select register product
5) Choose your country
6) In the serial key boxes enter this 666 12345678
7) write anything into the activation code box.
8 ) click next, you will be told it was invalid.
9) close 3DS Max, then relaunch it
10) Select register product
11) you will now see at the top the serial is 666 12345678 and the request code will be there.
12) Launch the keygen you downloaded
13) !IMPORTANT! TYPE IN THE REQUEST CODE THAT IS DISPLAYED AS IF YOU CUT AND PASTE THE LAST SECTION WILL BE MISSED OF GIVING YOU AND ERROR IN THE KEYGEN!, click calculate
14) Copy the Auth code the keygen gives you and paste it into the registration code box provided my 3DS Max 9. Click next.
15) Congratulations you are now the proud owner of 3DS Max 9 fully functional.

16) Download ASH 3ME at
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LCAMCXF8
17) Instructions are in the Readme but I'll post a here as well.
18) Download all the Model files here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XCRKAWL9
19) Run 3me_extract.bat and type the brres file you want to modify (example: MarioR1.brres).  It will create a folder with your model in DAE format and its textures.
20) Install ColladaMax_FREE_3.05B.exe (included with ASH 3ME).

21) Open 3ds Max.
22) File>Import and find the folder your model.dae file is in. ***Remember to change the box where it says "look for these files" to COLLADA***
23) Press M and a window will open with some spheres.
24) Click on the first sphere.
25) Click on the square next to Diffuse. ---First red box to the left in the picture provided below---
26) Click on "Bitmap" and find your texture file.  ---Second red box to the left in the picture provided below---
27) Type 180.0 on Angle U.  ---Red box in the bottom right in the picture provided below---
28) Select 'Show map in viewport' (it's a cube).  ---Red box in the top (middle) right in the picture provided below---
29) Drag the sphere to the model (example: if you added Body texture, drag the sphere to the body of
   your character).
30) Click on the next sphere and now repeat from step 25.

Here's the picture guide if you need help:(http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6991/readme.th.jpg) (http://img516.imageshack.us/i/readme.jpg/)

When I got to step 11 the serial was stil 000-00000000, so I exited to try again and autodesk 3D max 9 popped up.  Where'd I screw up?

Did you download it from the *wink**wink* download link in the first post???


Title: Re: How to view your textures on 3DSMax

Hmmm, I'm not really too sure what's going wrong.

Try uninstalling it and then reinstalling it and doing all the steps again.

I think I've tried that already.  I'll try again, but could the problem be that I already downloaded step 16 and 18?

No they shouldn't have anything to do with installing 3DSMAX.

I'm a bit confused on how to move the camera. All I want to do is orbit the camera to get a better view, but I can't seem to find an option. Do you know where it is?

Select all the parts "CTRL+A" and then up the top there should be a button that looks like an arrow doing a 360.  Click that too rotate the camera (should be able too figure that out, if you don't know how just leave a post, I'll explain in further deatail).
There's also a button next too that one that looks like "+" but with arrows.  That controls the camera too move up or down.

If you want I can post a screenshot.

Seeing this "ON A UNKNOWN" just proves how stupid and unlikely this whole guide is! *cough*

Edit: and 3Ds max is being gay and it won't let me see the magical gray background, instead what ever was open under it shows >.>

Well, I installed this a while ago so I've forgotten lots of things about it >_<
The guide is made up of several other guides actually :p


Also, what do you mean by magical grey background??

It should do.  Just do steps 16 onwards.
