3d studio max 4.0

would anyone know how to export or move the graphics you make in 3d studio max 4.0 to photoshop. i dont mean as in being able to alter them in photoshop. but just making them into a format that is usable in photoshop such as jpg, gif, bmp, anything.

Don't no if I understand you wright ...

but it must be something like;

render your scene in Max .. (render in high res. save the optimzing for Photoshop)

In your Max output rendersettings you can select image size/name /type and save as ..*.tga *.jpg or whatever

File>open in photoshop ..

I hope this helps ..

G.luck ;)

Hey!

I have 3.0 but I'd imagine it to be the same......When you go to the render screen, It has a save file feature....You can name the file and save it as many different types of files....I usually save it as a .tif .But there are many other formats.....

Hope that helps.....

P.S. IIIIII WAANNNNTTTT 4.0!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SNIFF SNIFF!!!

I'm struggling through R3 with the aid of a very substantial book... Man I'm finding it hard. But 'imagine the possibilities'.

No point to my post, just crying about my misfortunes.

I wish i had any vesion. My mate brought it and he aint got heidi 3 drivers and he needs them. The interactive rederers. How would you get them and i could tell him.

you need a open gl video card...or it wouldn't work..

Actually you don't need a Open GL vid. Card. Open GL can be software emulated. I was running 3D Studio Max R3 on an 8 meg ATI Rage Pro for a week or two. Needless to say it ran like shyte, but it can be done. You really don't need a good 3D card to run 3D programs. I bought a Riva TNT2 just to hold me over untill my new computer and I'm pretty happy with it. It's no GeForce 3 Ultra overclocked by 15% but it works well considering what it is.

In concusion, you don't NEED an Open GL card, but it's sure as heck better than waiting 5 mins to be able to move a small array of simple shapes in 3DSMax. What an intensive program! Just having it open takes up 75 megs of RAM. Jeeze.

Happy rendering.

i ment you need a open gl compatible video card the TNT 2 card does have open Gl abilities...oh yeah 3D stuio max runs really well on the GeForce 3 Ultra : I haven't overclocked it though..
