Trouble running 3D Studio Max

I recently put Bootcamp and Windows 7 on my iMac and I installed 3D Studio Max 2010 -- its the only program I want to use on Windows. The magic mouse does work basically under Windows but it won't scroll and so I can't zoom in Max and also the delete key on the little silver keyboard won't work so I have to go up under the edit menu -- on an extended keyboard its the 2nd delete key which is off to the right that works. I read that a new edition of Bootcamp will come out and solve the zoom/scroll problem -- but meanwhile I am being driven crazy. Can anybody please help this Macgirl -- I wouldn't have gone anywhere near Windows if it wasn't for Max:-)
Thanks so much.

My advice, buy a "real" mouse
I traded in Apple mouse (and then keyboard) ages ago. I wear out keyboards, and once I used a 5-button, there was no going 'back.'
New Boot Camp? other than 3.1?

Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

Hi, i'm Architec and my basic programs are: Autodesk Architecture and 3D studio Max. Can i run it in the MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch (NEWEST VERSION) Thanks!!!

You can but make sure you upgrade your RAM to 16GB - you can't do that through Apple...
Autodesk is a memory intensive program and the same goes with 3D Studio Max.....
Another suggeston if you must use a 13 inch is to buy the base 13 inch Macbook Pro and upgrade the RAM to 16GB and install a SSD to make it perform fast.
Another option is to get a refurbished 15 Inch Macbook Pro and do the RAM upgrade yourself...Advantage going 15 Inch is because it has it's own discrete graphics adapter rather than the built in Intel video.

Trouble running .java applettes from studio

I am having trouble running javascript applettes from studio however they do work if run directly in MS explorer 6. The path for explorer exists in tools/options/sever and external tool settings/web browsers. Any suggestions?

Do you have Java or JavaScript problems?
Can you provide some code sample/steps to reproduce this?

New mac mini and imac vs powermac G5 running FCP studio

I want to compare running the FCP suite on the new max minis and imacs that came out today vs what I am currently using:
Currently I am running FCP Studio on a Powermac G5 dual 2GHz with one gig of ram. I believe the frontside bus is 1GHz. I believe the stock video card isan ATI Radeon 9600 Pro (AGP 8X Pro) video card with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM.
With this being said, is it safe to assume that the new entry level mac mini would surpass my G5 in terms of performnce in both video (NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with128MB or 256MB of shared DDR3) memory processing (intel core2 duo 2GHz)?
If not would the two low end Imacs (using NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 256MB of shared DDR3 memory) and processing power handle FCP studio better than my current powermac G5 setup listed above?
I am wondering because I spoke to a apple sales person who transfered me to a system engineer that said I'd have a slow time rendering video on FCP with the mac minis as well as the 2 low end imacs. This may be but Im wondering if it is still better than what I am using
I appreciate your opinions, but please only answer if you really know,
Thanks!

For FCP/FCS I would not save on anything but will get the max what my budget allow. You will be always doing more and the workflow in FCS will entice you to open almost all apps in FCS concurrently to make use of the advanced features. I think that the new iMac are powerful enough to handle FCS, but once again, the extra dollars will save you alot of pain. FCS is a pro app and is not to be underestimated. Good luck.

3D Studio Max 8+ on OSX?

First off, if this is in the wrong place please move it.
I wish to get Autodesks 3D Studio Max 8 or higher running on the OSX. Does anyone here know of a way to accomplish this?
I have tried Crossover Mac (WINE) to do this but the installer prematurely ends with a warning saying it couldn't run the .msi file (to my knowledge).
Parallels Desktop, although it fully emulates Windows onto a virtual machine it doesn't support 3D applications so that is out of the question.
Does anyone here know of another wine or emulation type application that will enable me to run this great application on this fantastic new MacBook Pro?
Thank in advance.

the new parallels might work for you:

How to install Autocad programmes? Like 3d studio max? WINDOWS IN MAC? HOW?

Hello,
I am planning to buy Macbook Pro with 8GB and i5 processor for architectural purposes to run programmes smoothly like Autocad and 3d Studio max for rendering plus other graphic programmes from Adobe.
1. What should i include in my package of Macbook Pro to install and run these programmes without doubts and problems, not to waste my money? Maybe instead of Mac i should go for proper Microsoft Windows PC like DELL. But i would prefer Mac anyway.
2. I have heard about Bootcamp? I don't know what is it? Is it supplied with Macbook Pro package? Where can i get it from?
I have also read that to run these programmes i should install Windows on Mac, but the thing is i want to run away from any Windows as Im not happy with this system. This is why I am considering Mac system, which does not freeze on first instance. Where do i get windows on mac? In mac shop? No idea what to do.
3. If i succeed installing 3ds max and Autocad and Adobe, do i run them on mac or windows system, when using daily?
4. I am scared to buy Mac as I am not sure if these programmes work correctly.
5. Please give me some instructions what to do after buying Macbook Pro in terms of preapring my computer for rendering and drawing in cad programmes.
6. Which mac system shall i choose?
I would be grateful to each of you a professionalist or any man, whose knowledge is at high level and competency. I really need your help. PLEASE HELP!!!

Number 1 do you need a laptop? 3DS Max likes beefy hardware and especially high end graphics cards like Nividia’s Quadro series. These card are difficult and expensive to get on a laptop.
I run 3DS Max on my MacBook Pro and also on a more beefy Windows machine with Quadro card at home.
When scenes get complex and big the MacBook pro struggles to manipulate and rotate objects on screen, as it does not have the hardware.
If you do get a MacBook Pro don’t forget you will need a 3 button mouse, not the Apple one as you know there are functions you need to do in Max that require you to press more than one mouse button at a time an Apple mouse will not do that.

IMac intel can use 3D studio Max???

Hi all,
i wanna to buy a New Intel iMac 17" and install 3D studio Max for my work, does it work and smooth, thanks for your help
Jacky

now i need to install Boot Camp first.
OK, just wanted to be sure. Lots of people were under the mistaken impression that just because the new Macs run Intel processors that they could then just run Windows apps under Mac OS X.
As to 3D Max performance, I can't speak directly to it since I haven't tested it, but Max's minimum system requirements are fairly modest, so for basic operation and simple models, an iMac Core Duo should be more than adequate. As you get into very complex models, though, 3D apps start to really use up system resources, so an iMac (or any system of comparable specs) may start to bog down. The 3D professionals I know of wouldn't think of creating pro-quality modeling and rendering on anything other than the highest-end horsepower they could get their hands on; rendering, in particular, needs all the power you can give it to complete in a reasonable time.
So it's going to depend on your needs. For learning purposes and simple models, 3D Studio Max on an iMac should be fine. If you intend this for professional work, you probably either want to go with a high-end PC, wait for the Intel-based replacement for the PowerMac G5 (no idea when that will appear), or consider a 3D package (if changing is an option) that works on PowerMac G5s (Maya, Electric Image are two such) and get a quad-core G5.
Regards.

Anybody using 3d studio max 4?

hello,
can you use 3d studio max version 4 under windows xp pro? i'm having problems, it says that the cd blah blah is not supported with this version of windows, but i know i run this before
thanks,
edison

hello bim2k,
i downloaded the newer version of c-dilla from discret's website, and i installed it, i dont get the error anymore but while 3ds max is initializing, a window popped out, it said that 3ds max has to shut down, just like the one you see when there's an error in windows and windows xp asks you if you want to send report to microsoft, this message also popped out. so i have to close 3ds max, but if i just ignore it, 3dsmax would start and i could use it but with the presence of the annoying window :(
after that, i also tried the instructions on the link you gave me, with no luck, same thing happened, but atleast i could use 3ds max, i also tried installing the newer version of c-dilla, same thing also...
thanks,
edison

I run a studio in Atlanta. I am doing an upgrade to Protools 11. Avid does not support Yosemite. Mavericks is no where to be found on App store. Had to purchase Mountain Lion. I am losing money waiting on Apple to "ship" / email me a activation

I run a studio here in Atlanta. YEster day morning I called an Apple store to see if I could buy a copy of Mavericks. They forwarded me to Apple Care. Apple Care tech and myself could not find Mavericks anywhere on the app store. Avid does not support Yosemiteam yet, so I had no other choice but to purchase Mountain Lion. It has been over 24 hours waI ting on Apple to "ship" / email me a code to download from the app store. I read a lot of horror stories from when they rolled out Mountain Lion in 2012 about it taking 72 hours to receive the codes. I hope that maybe it doesn't take that l9ng this time because I am losing money by the minute. Microsoft would have had a code to me in minutes. This is just crazy. I have used Apple products for years, but this is very disappointing. Anyone else ordered Mountain Lion recently? How long dI'd it take Apple to "ship" you your code via email? Thanks

From what I've read on these forums over the past few months, it hasn't gotten any better. An electronic order from any company shouldn't take more than 12 hours for a system to respond to, but people have been waiting up to a week for their redemption code email to arrive. It makes no sense to me why it would take that long.

To load a object created with 3D Studio Max

Hello,
I am a new Java user. I have to realize an interactive presentation in Java of a three-dimensional object created with 3D Studio Max. I would like to know how I can load this object in my java project.
I should, in fact, allow the customer to modify the color of the object and to rotate it.
Many thanks
Massimo

Well, my first reccomendation is to look into Java 3D. I don't know anything about it myself, but it's the obvious place to look.

Trouble running DurableSubscriberExample

Hi
I am having trouble running the "DurableSubscriberExample.java" that is in Appendix A of the "Java Message Tutorial" (http://java.sun.com/products/jms/tutorial/1_3_1-fcs/doc/client_samples.html#1002876)
These are the steps I followed:
1. I compiled the classes - "DurableSubscriberExample.java" and "SampleUtilities.java".
2. I stared the j2ee server.
3. I created a topic called jms/Topic as follows:
j2eeadmin -addJmsDestination jms/Topic topic
4. I created a connection factory with a Client ID by copy-pasting the following from the tutorial (section 8.2.3) as instructed:
j2eeadmin -addJmsFactory jms/DurableTopicCF topic -props clientID=MyID
5. Then I specified the connection factory name and the topic name on the command line as instructed:
java -Djms.properties=C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\config\jms_client.properties DurableSubscriberExample DurableTopicCF jms/Topic
This is the error I get:
JNDI API lookup failed: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: DurableTopicCF not found
Any idea what's wrong?

I installed J2sdkee1.3.1 to Win98, I can startup the J2ee server. Once I typed j2eeadmin -addJmsDestination MyQueue queue, I got the following message :
C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin>j2eeadmin -addJMSDestination jms/MyQueue queue

Best minimum iMac for running FCP Studio

A client of mine has hundreds of hours of tapes\film she wants to turn into a film. I want to set her up with an 'inexpensive' iMac powerful enough to run FCP Studio ...
I want to transfer (up-rez) all her footage to an HD ProRes format (not sure which yet), so she will be working in HD.
She needs to be able to view her footage and rough cut it into manageable chunks. Then I'll help her with the editing ... right up to final post-production, at which point we will move it into my studio which has all the bells and whistles.
So I'm looking for just enough power to capture all the footage, to work in HD, but not so much that she goes broke setting up an edit suite she may only use for this one film.
All ears,
Ben

Check the minimum system requirements for FCP Studio. That will tell you what minimum hardware is required to use it. According to the Apple site:
*Minimum System Requirements to Install All Applications*
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of RAM (2GB of RAM recommended for working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources; 4GB of RAM recommended for working with uncompressed HD sources)
ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)
128MB of VRAM
Display with 1280-by-800 resolution or higher
Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later
QuickTime 7.6 or later
DVD drive for installation

3D studio Max and Archecad for Mac???

I need somebody to help me in finding similar softwares for 3D Studio Max and Archecad on Mac and i will be very grateful thanks a lot ....

Look for such software at VersionTracker or MacUpdate. You can also do some Google searching.
There are lots of 3D modeling applications and several CAD applications - shareware or commercial. For example AutoDesk's Maya software is available in a Mac OS X version.
There are a number of CAD applications as well such as VectorWorks.
