NX6600 VTD128 Diamond and 3ds Max 6

Hi,
I bought NX 6600 VTD128 Diamond edition AGP Graphic adapter to replace my old Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9200 because it was too slow for use in 3ds Max. I'm working with 3d models with large number of polygons (usually about 1,5 million) and I thought that NX6600 VTD128 would provide comfortable viewport speed in model development process but it haven't done so. It's still quite slow, far from my expectations. So, is this usual, am I expecting too much from this card and shouldn't it be much faster than ATI Radeon 9200 since it costs 2,5 tames as much? Would NX6600GT do significantly better in this situation? What VGA card characteristic is the most responsible for this kind of speed?
My computer is Epox 8RDA+ nForce2 Dual Channel motherboard, AMD Barton 2500+ CPU, 2x512 MB Kingston RAM, WDC 7200 rps 8 MB cash 80 GB HD and I'm using Wacom Intuos3 graphic tablet. WIn XP Pro SP1

Thank you for your reply. I'm still confused, characteristics for those two cards that can be found at MSI web site
are the same and only difference I could find is CPU and memory clock (NX6600 Diamond 400/800 and NX6600GT
500/1000) is 100 mhz enough to feel the diference?
Did you overclock your 6600GT?
I'd like to get my hands on a Quadro but unfortunately this is all I can afford...
The NX6600 Diamond comes already overclocked.... my 6600GT can be OC to 550+/1300 easily without any voltage or cooling modification. I 'm very lucky because my VGA comes with 1.6ns memory (Same as the 6800U ) that helps to get higher OC , but the normal overclock for a 6600gt is around 560/1180
Run some benchemarks like 3Dmark03 and compare it with my scores:
3DMark 03
Default clocks: 8493pts
530/1200: 9350pts
550/1300: 9714pts

Which iMac 27 upgrades for Autodesk Revit and 3ds Max

Hi,
I am an architecture student and I'm about to purchase a iMac 27. I will be using bootcamp to run Revit and 3ds Max and was wondering what upgrades I should make (if any).
512GB SSD or a 1TB fusion drive
3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5 or a 3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
8GB, 16GB or 32GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4GB GDDR5
Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

I don't have CS6...
1) I would max out the video card. FCP X and Motion 5 uses the GPU over the CPU for processing power. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
2) FCP X and Motion 5 will use all the ram you can throw at it. I have 16 GB of ram and both programs at times uses all 16 GB of ram. I really should bump up my ram to 32 GB. I would say 16 GB is the minimum for video.
3) The processor would be last on my list. Computers are really fast even with an i5 processor. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
This is the iMac I bought last year:
27" iMc mid-2011
3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB GDDR5

Windows XP SP2 32bit and 3ds max 2010

Hi. I installed on my MacBook Pro Bootcamp and Windows XP. I downloaded the trial version od 3ds max 2010. However, when I try to install it a message pops up "Cant find End User License Agreement". This is a brand new Mac and none Autodesk software was installed here before. I dont know what to do, and I must run 3ds max. Can someone help me? The version of Bootcamp is 2.0

Interesting. The Autodesk documentation says you ought to be able to install 3ds max 2010 on your configuration. So I don't think we're looking at a generalised compatibility problem:
[Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2010 Boot Camp Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)|http://download.autodesk.com/us/3dsmax/documentation/3dsMaxFAQ.pdf]
Just checking a couple of things from the installation instructions:
Does your XP user account have full administrative rights?
Have you closed all applications and background applications prior to starting the install?

Lion Server and 3DS Max files

Hi,
We have just gone from using an Xserve running 10.4.11 with an attached Xraid, to a Mac Mini Server running 10.7.3 and an attached Promise Pegasus R6 12TB Thunderbolt raid.
Everything is fine except one thing. The PC users running a mixture of Windows XP and Windows 7 can no longer open their 3DS Max (.max) files. I have had a search around and it seems that other people have encountered the same problem, but as far as I can make no one has found a solution. They just get a File Open Failed message.
If anybody has come across and resolved this problem or could offer any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Apple should be brought up on UI crimes for the mess that is permissions in Lion. It is easy once you understand what they are doing and where the tools are hidden.
So first, ignore the File Sharing tab as it is useless and feature poor. Instead, do this:
1: Launch Server.app
2: Select your server under the Hardware section in the left column.
3: Click on the Storage tab
4: Drill down to find the parent folder of your share point
5: Use the Gear popup menu to access the Edit and propagate features
This shows an example. When you choose the Edit Permissions... option, you will see a window like the following:
The three entries are the POSIX permissions. They represent UNIX Owner (root), Group (Wheel), and Everyone (Other). This is an EXAMPLE Folder. Yours will be different. These permissions do not inherit! If you change the group from Wheel to staff, it will mean nothing in relation to the permissions. You must ADD another entry to the table. The new entry is an Access Control Entry and establishes an ACL (access control list). The ACL will inherit if defined as such.
So in this example, say you have a folder owned by the local admin and by the admin group. Press the + button and then set that group to your departmental group. Then set permissions to Read/Write. Press OK. This will return you to the main window. Click on the Gear button again and choose propagate permissions to cascade the new permission set through all existing files.
You should disconnect clients and then reestablish a new sharing session to ensure you are seeing the proper permissions model.
Apple should be ashamed at the poor job of showing the difference between POSIX and ACLs. This is really a step backward as compared to older versions of server.

Imac i5 3.2ghz upgraded 24ram bootcamp sketchup and 3ds max

Hi guys
Im from singapore and 3mths ago bought an imac i5 3.2ghz upgraded 24ram running sketchup and bootcamp+3ds max.
Currently the 3ds max is running fine, with a slight lag in speed (acceptable).
However, its running sketchup via ios that is laggy and slow, making med to large 3d models very slow and laggy to use.
Anyone had similar experience? Is it the video card issue? If changing the video card can help, what brand then would be suitable?
I really hope not to sell the i5 and buy the i7...
All comments will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Darren

You cannot replace/upgrade graphics cards as they are soldered onto the logic board; even if they weren't, they'd need to be replaced with the same model unless there was an upgrade offered at time of purchase.

RPF Camera does not match the scene from 3DS Max or Maya in AE

Hi, since I've been trying to integrate 3D with Motion Graphics, I've had trouble. First I read in VideoCopilot's website that I can import 3D cameras into AE, but when I first tried in AE CS6, right clicking on the RPF sequence layer (with the ZDepth info included), the camera was never imported, and never created a new camera layer.
Then I tried in CS5.5 and from 3DS Max 2013 the camera was succesfully created but it's movement did not match the imported scene, because when creating and positioning some 3D layers, they did not stick correctly to the scene, and they never looked integrated. So it's a pain trying to make them match.
So I also installed Maya 2008 and followed this tutorial (https://vimeo.com/32726702) with a locator for the scene, then saved it as a Maya ASCII, and again when trying to match the camera inside AE with the scene's camera, the movemet of the camera imported was again strange and the 3D layers did not stick correctly to the imported scene. Of course I know I have to position the 3D layers, and I get them to be in the camera sight.
I need some real help because I've tried many times and asked a friend who knows of Maya and 3DS Max, but he could not help me neither inside AE. Again, the importing of the RPF in CS5.5 works fine, but the movement of the camera just doesn't seem to be right what I need.
Thanks for any help.

Cameras in RPF files must be embedded accordingly. Just because it has depth data doesn't mean there's camera data as well. I'm sure there is some simple check box somewhere. The rest sounds like mundane scale and coordinate issues because you do not set up your 3D scenes properly, but that's impossible to tell for certain...

Camera tracking / workflow question with 3DS Max....

Hi guys,
I have a general question about workflow using After Effects and 3DS Max....
Scenerio:
I have a virtual news set in 3DS Max to composite in the greenscreen footage. The footage has everything needed for tracking - markers and so on. After tracking the footage, I want to use the tracking from the footage, plus incorporate some camera moves from 3DS Max when the talent is 'behind the news desk'. Kinda like doing an 'orbital dolly' move to pan across the set. In After Effects, how would I merge the existing camera tracking from the original footage and then merge the panning camera moves from 3DS Max?
Thanks.
Jason

You will need a 3D track/ matchmove. Once you have, you should not ahve any problems importing teh result in both programs. SynthEyes etc. support a ton of export formats. For everything else a simple 3D export from MAX using relevant scripts/ plug-ins should suffice or you simply could use your keyed footage as a texture in MAX.

3ds max, viz and autocad problems with bootcamp

I recently bought a new mac pro 2 quad 3.0 as a workstation. I have two hardrives installed one for mac os system and the other one is for windows and bootcamp.
The problem is that after using 3dsmax or any autodesk program for a while. I turn off the computer and comeback next day and click to continue on my 3ds max file and asks me to activate the software again. This is typical for viz, or autocad. I have to call autodesk every day to activate my software. Tired of reactivating the software everyday...
They told me the problem is with bootcamp..
anybody has any recoomendations?
plz help..

I am going through the same problem with v9 and 2008. I am running a MacPro workstation with bootcamp to Vista. I was using v9 fine until I upgraded to 2008 and then the licensing issues happened when switching between Mac/PC. I also upgraded to Leopard so I don't know who is to blame. I want to know if Autdesk changed the licensing technology or if the newer bootcamp in Leopard is the problem. Now I'm wishing I didn't get the Mac thinking I could run core apps like 3DSMax.

3ds MAX 8 and Director MX 2004

need help with lingo code relating to this. I am creating a
w3d file of a level for use in a 3d game, and when I go to code the
other elements (the character and enemies), it comes up with a
truckload of errors. i had created a level as a test ( it was a w3d
file created in director), and it worked, but when i went to import
the new w3d file, the above problem happened. the character model
created in director wont fly around, as its a plane, and the new
level design doesn't like being used, even when i change the code.
if someone could help urgently, many thanks would be bestowed. if
you need the code, i will create a txt file and send it to
you

hi I need some help! I have made a toy car with 3ds max and
imported it to director.
What i what to do is when I press the letter "a "on the
keyboard for my car to accelerate. I can make it move forward or
backwards but am having trouble trying to save its previous X
location so that when I'm pressing "a" it will keep accelerating
until I stop pressing "a"

Can i run autocad 3d, 3ds max and autodesk inventor on imac?

Hello you all!
I'm ready to buy an i-Mac for my work, but first I need to be 100% sure that it runs AutoCAD 3d. I would really need Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk Inventor as well, but I can live without.
Please let me know if anyone knows, and aslo (as I never had anything to do with mac computers) I'd like to ask if I'll be able to keep updating these softwares whenever needed.
Last, does anyone know specifically what specs should I focus on among operating systems or other things when deciding which i-Mac to buy?
Thanks a lot guys!
Christina

Very simple to find out, look at the system requirements for the apps and then compare to the iMac you are interested in. As far as updating the apps that isn't a question to ask here, you need to contact the developers or even better just visit their website periodically to see if updates for their products are released. If the app's are available from Apple's App Store then updates would be released from teh App Store. If you are not familiar with the App Store please click:
http://www.apple.com/osx/apps/app-store.html?cid=wwa-us-kwg-mac-com&siclientid=5 899&sessguid=96a06dba-3ee0-4df6-9e13-a0a08104279c&userguid=96a06dba-3ee0-4df6-9e 13-a0a08104279c&permguid=96a06dba-3ee0-4df6-9e13-a0a08104279c
for information.
BTW if you don't feel comfortable with this answer then i'd recommend contacting Autodesk and asking what hardware specifications they recommend for an iMac and also visiting your local Apple Store.

3DS Max and After Effects.

Hello, I just figured this would be one of the best places to stop by to look for an answer. Recently I've made an avi in 3DS max and tried importing it into AE. Here's the problem: Prior to importing it, the video looks amazing. It's crisp and unpixelated and just looks plain good. After importing it however... well it looks like crap to be honest. It's utterly pixelated and it just destroys the video quality. The aspect ratio is the same and the size of the composition is the same... I just can't figure out what the problem is at all.

Need a little more detail. What codec? What size? What PAR? If your footage is interpreted as non square pixels and you have Toggle Pixel Aspect Ratio checked in the Composition window you'll see interpolated pixels there. If your comp window isn't set to 100% magnification you're not seeing every pixel. If the Composition window is set to fit and the magnification is something like 63% then your preview is going to look bad. You may improve the look by going through the Previews section of preferences and setting the Zoom Quality to More Accurate.

Off topic - 3ds max 9 and 3ds files

Hi I'm wondering if there is any way to add materials and colors to 3ds files. If not how do you export the textures and materials to be added later?
I've got the loader Inspector3DS/Loader3DS and I can't import any material or anything other than the geometry of the model from a 3ds file (need to add the colors and lights in java). Maybe .3ds files isn't the best approach, but is there any loader for .max files? I'm new to Java3D and really need help. What I want is to import a model get it to show, maybe add some directional lights but I still want the main configuration from 3ds max like the materials (as posted above).
Summary:
Export model with materials/color (.3ds)
or
Save .max file
then
Import model with materials (.3ds)
or
Import .max file
Show it on screen (this works now if I add lights in java)
//Thanks Considerate

Hi all,
I received a response from the tech development side of
Autodesk on the Max 9 and
Shockwave 3D issue.
The reply was a little different to the one I posted before.
I have been told it was
not a mistake but an incompatibility with the higher bit
functionality of Max 9. So
that's why it was removed. But it is temporary.
Was told:
"This problem has been flagged and is currently being worked
on.
We will have some service packs sometime in the near future.
Cannot disclose a date
at the moment."

Why is my laptop running high cpu after i render 3DS Max For a month and what should i do?

I have been trying to run my long 3ds max finals. I have 2 fans blowing my Macbook Pro. The Laptop fan and a regular fan blowing my laptop. after a month of finish rendering. my cpu sky rockets and i i have try scan for malware, virus, spy ware and worms, which didn't do nothing, i also check for defragment. Nothing works. the 3ds max was running on bootcamp windows 7. When i render in 3ds max the cpu hits 100% non stop. should i go to apple store and to get it check and would it cost alot to get it fix? Thank you for anyone answering my question.

The firmware controlling the fans is predictive depending upon what sort of software and it's CPU demands, you have been running.
For instance, you say your 3D program maxes out the CPU, well the computer now knows whenever you launch this program it needs to crank the fans up, even if you don't use much CPU at first, in order to catch a sudden demand in CPU needs and not let the CPU burn up.
Don't know if there is a remedy for this unless not to use the 3D rendering software, or use on a machine with more processing cores and better cooling, like a MacPro.

AE Compositor Link & 3ds Max Motion Blur Flip

Hi,
I have imported an object into AE via the compositor link and state sets in 3ds Max. However the key frames come in as held key frames so I have to first fix that. Does anyone know why they might come in as square key frames instead of diamond shaped ones? Here is an Autodesk tutorial that clearly shows the imported object having diamond shaped key frames without having to change them. Using State Sets - Part 8 - Working with Solids and PSD files - YouTube
But the big problem I am unable to fix is when I apply motion blur to the object. At certain key frames the object flips see a screen shot here: https://assets.adobe.com/link/8eb67d7d-88e0-4ce5-a1e9-4d24802f1dd0?section=activity_public.
It appears that the rotation swaps from being a plus to a minus value in AE at certain key frames causing the object motion blur to get confused. I have spoken to Autodesk support and they are stumped at when could be the cause and suggested I ask here as it may be an AE problem and not 3ds Max. Here is a link to the AE file: https://assets.adobe.com/link/6bceafc4-5410-44ef-9328-bb8011e4a86f?section=activity_public
Thanks,

Thanks for the help guys. The problem was in Max, I don't know exactly what, the Gamma settings looked fine to me. To fix it I just deleted the Save State and it's Output file and Targa. Then remade them. My guess is when I changed the exposure control it screwed everything up.
I also played around with masking, just getting to know what I have to do before I do it.
Yes, no color correction has been done, even the placement of the Windmill isn't final, this was just for practice and preparation. I am curious as to HOW I should color correct this, I'm still not sure if I want the video darker or more colorful....
Mylenium, I'll look into the Rotobrushing and Refine Edge, and thanks Rick for the link, I'll watch it sometime soon!
