Talking about 3ds max version, do you know if it's possible to download legally old version for free? Where?

Just curious, because I would like to try or messing with it... Or I will try Blender (because it's free and new versions look powerful).

if you made model in blender you will have some numbers of issues when you will import blendr model to 3d max for import ...

present some plugins for that .. but belive me ... it won't be without issues at all ....

in any case will need do some steps in max .... so ... better if you work in 3d max from first step ....


yes i know ... 3d max is really painfull programm ...

Ok thank you

But if you start a project from scratch, Blender is free... But if it's to work with Il2 (3ds max) you are better to use the same. Right?

Thank you for the video

I've been going through the video on the slowest speed, step by step, pause rewind, step by step, pause rewind...... you get the picture.

One thing that is not immediately apparent from the video for novices like myself is that to make the clone, you need to select the "Select & Move" tool and then while holding down the shift key drag the clone out of the existing model.

It does not help that Adobe products and I think SolidWorks use the alt key to perform a similar tasks.

Also to alternate between wireframe, solid and edge views F3 and F4 are used.

And Ctrl click to select multiple items.

Is that a max number of polygons for Il2 1946?
Is it the same for everything (planes, vehicles, etc.)?

thx

I have no idea what happens between frames 1:08 and 1:09 but the pan view button turns into a footprint button? From here I'm lost
