3DStudio Max 5.1 question....

[Half_Dead]

Tis a lil bit of a noob question, but sorry. It's been a long time since I've been out da game.

How in the "$^%*" do you get the figure mode bar in 3ds? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

like shown here.....http://www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne2/mods/tutorials/skin.htm --> where it states "Skeleton Setup"

Where it shows the lil max payne pic, and the stick guy.

Sorry for such a noob question, but what can I say ? http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif

1. Download the attachment.
2. Extract the files.
3. Place the extracted files individually in "..\3dsmax\UI\" directory.
4. Open 3dsmax.
5. Go to "Customize -> Load Custom UI" in the menu bar.
6. Load the "Remedy_UI" thingy.
7. Close the small window and restart 3dsmax.
8. Voila!

Before doing the above, you must have MP2 tools installed correctly.

Download the official CS 4.1 tutorials and help files from Discreet (http://www.discreet.com) . That's all you'll need to learn to harness the animations in 3dsmax. For more basic ideologies on traditional animation techniques, search the web for various (mostly theoritical) tutorials and resources.

BTW, I made those files. Not a big deal once you know the software good. http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
