04/19/2013

This is a nice tutorial what i have looked for a longtime ago.

02/13/2013

can you add this to After Effect so it can look 3D ?

09/18/2012

You can literally do this whole thing with just Element 3D! :D

07/02/2012

ha funny because if i say something crazy like f(**)k whiteout (***):videocoipilot makes a few changes look: #%&!ing shit! funny

05/13/2013

LOL

Thanks Andrew. I spent an evening looking to find info on how to make decent looking 3D text in 3DS Max and then bringing it into AE and applying animation. Or doing the animation in 3DS Max already. Your tutorials always help! I agree with previous comments - you explain nicely what you do, steps are not just jumped without telling us what you are doing and why. I've just started using 3DS Max BECAUSE I wanted proper 3D rendered text. Thank you very very much!

03/25/2012

I liked ur tutorial.I hve also made 3d text by seeing ur tutorial.i enjoyed doing this work.hey u just tell me one think frm where u got Metal Chorma (Standard).I dn't hve default in my 3D Max 2010.just tell me frm will i get that...

LOL My laptop overheats and crashes when I render something in After Effects unless I put it right over a fan or put it sideways with the fan behind it and I don't think it will be able to render something from 3DS MAX!

Hi Andrew!
Excellent lesson for beginners 3ds max.
However, many advanced users who want to know how 3D text from 3Ds max can be used in Adobe after effects?
Get a very useful lesson!
Thank you!
With love from Russia! :)

12/05/2009

tahnks

11/12/2009

go to mtl editor then go open and load a new lib, when selecting go to your c drive (not the setups you have in my documents) and find the autodesk folder, then find materiallibraries folder and load the 3dmax one. Thats it.

10/11/2009

This was a realy helpful tutorial, My friends recommended it. Thanks again

09/17/2009

Hey Andrew!

I was watching your tutorial and I love it, I got a nice finished product and I am very happy about it. But, one thing; I am also an active Photosghop user, so I would really like to render my outcome WITH shadows (using skylight as in the tytorial) and WITHOUT any kind of background. So the final render will be just the text and the shadows added, so I can put the render into any background color in Photoshop. But how can I do that? I render the file without a 'plane' but all I get is a black background and no shadows. Any help would be nice!
And again, thanks so much for this great tutorial!

Frol

09/11/2009

06/27/2009

same problem with u patrick..
I have 3D MAX 2009, can't find my material library anywhere :(

both files are empty :(

what can i do? any sugestions plsss???

06/24/2009

Er should be,

Copy them all and paste them into the other folder in My Documents.

06/24/2009

Patrick,

Go to My Documents and look for the folder 3ds Max. There should be a 'materiallibraries' folder inside it. If there's nothing in it, go into your 3ds max folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds max 200X) and look for 'materiallibraries' again.

There should be a bunch of mat files in there. Copy them all past them into the other folder in My Documents.

06/22/2009

umm, i don't have a materials library for some reason. i do, but there is nothing in it. anyone know what's up?

06/17/2009

Hey Andrew, nice work on the tutorials... Let me give you a simple hint for 3DS Max... Anytime you wanna edit one or more objects without clicking others by mistake, you can isolate them by selecting the objects you wanna edit and pressing Alt Q . Then you enter "Isolation Mode" and the viewports will only show your selected objetcts...

05/21/2009

esta gente es increible...
exelente trabajo!!...
(comentar o votar es agradecer)

05/19/2009

Hey Andrew, I have a problem. I followed this tutorial and I also have 3DSMax. But till the place where you were working with the Materials (3DSMax) stuff, I haven't anything (Material) in my Material Library. How come?
