I recently released my dwg batch import utility for 3ds Max Design called "Polyform Importer". The purpose for creating the utility was to solve the problem of only being able to import one file at a time into 3ds Max. I will show you how to install it and then talk about how it works. Installing the Polyform Importer 1. Navigate to the folder that you exported the project DWG files to 2. Download the Polyform Importer.ms script and drop it into any 3ds Max Design scene 3. From the main menu click Customize then click Customize User Interface 4. Click on the Menus tab 5. Click New......

I have released my video tutorial series for creating an animation in 3ds Max Design using AutoCAD Plant 3D Models. Although these tutorials were specifically written for using a specific data set, the concepts are applicable to any 3ds Max Design model. Export Plant 3D Model to Neutral DWG Part of my visualization for oil and gas tutorial series on importing AutoCAD Plant 3D dwg's to 3ds Max Design 2014. In this episode, we will export our AutoCAD Plant 3D models to a dwg format that is importable by 3ds Max Design. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elFeqlcJF9E File Linking Part of my visualization...

The first in what will be a series of images I am creating to visualize the current plant software market. In this image, I am trying to show that Plant 3D has a "cool" factor that their competition cannot possible hope to compete with. More to come. Let me know what you think!

I want to give everyone a heads up that there is a new rendering engine on the scene that looks very promising. It's called the Corona renderer. It's fast, flexible, very easy to use and best of all it's free!! Time is money and we all have precious little of both. This bad boy will make quick work of your scenes. The build is still in alpha but they're making improvements and updating it all the time. It would definitely be worth a minute of your time. Head on over to their website to check it out after you check out a couple of the images I created using it below. Website:...

In the following tutorial, we will create a skydome that accurately projects light onto your scene. This tutorial is based largely (entirely) from the master of Mental Ray rendering, Jeff Patton.
