Texturing In 3D Studio Max

This tutorial I retrieved from the following link and written by Stealth_Snake. During the interim presentation that I didn't finish the texturing process. While I already has some basic understanding of Modelling object in 3D max ( that's can make me cry) so I think this tutorial might be useful for me. Because, I already uninstalled the 3D Max trial version from my PC so I have to go to the computer lab to try it on. Promise to reflect back later when I finished the tutorial and will posted any cool things or trouble issue occured while doing this tutorial.

The first thing happen after opening the scene file, took me a second to find where is display button to hide/unhide certain part on the model.Following picture shown where the location/icon for open a display panel in 3D Max 2009.Click on the monitor icon to open the display panel.





We need to change the standard material editor to multi/subobject. Then,again took me a while to figure out which part of menu needs to click to change it after i press M.Following picture show it where.

Introduction

This blog was created for me to store all resources that I acquired for completing MMDS7964 courses. This my second semester course towards Master of Interaction Design. The name of this course is 3D and Interactive media. This course was conducted by experience lecturer name Laz Kastanis, that recently apearred on UQNews magazine as a research team for Virtual Art project. Also, the practical session was conducted by skillful tutor. The offiicial software for this course are 3D max for project 2, incorporates with Flash for Project 3. Meanwhile, we also required to complete 3D Exploration for assignment 1 by employing Google Sketch Up and Terragen.

By finding that 3D studio Max is considered as a complex software for me to explore, and to manage to do and ask everything "How To?" to the tutor during the two hours and seems difficult. So, I opted to find some resources including the tutorial that I got after Googling on the internet, and placed it on the site that I can access anytime instead of finding back that resources every time I want to use it. Then, I will followed the tutorial and if I found is difficult or any trouble to understand it, then I will arose it during the practical and get support from tutors. I think this way should be efficient for learning process.I hope so because I didn't have a lot of time to finish my 3D and Interactive media project, combining with other 3 courses that I also enrolled for this semester.

Wish me luck!!
