Have you ever been troubled by tedious operations in 3DMAX?
Today, I'm going to bring you a well-organized 3DMAX shortcut book, so that you can be comfortable in modeling, material editing, animation and other aspects, so that your creation can fly!
In 3DMAX, selecting objects, layers, and editing them is a very important basic operation. You'll be able to easily select and edit with the following shortcuts:
Select the object: q
Select the previous object: Up arrow key.
Select the next object: Down Arrow key.
Select the previous layer: p
Select the next layer: n
Select all objects: Ctrl+A
Show Hide the outline of the selected object: [ and ].
During modeling, we often need to move, scale, and rotate objects. You'll be able to complete these tasks more efficiently by mastering the following shortcuts:
Moving Object: W
Scale Object: e
Rotating object: r
Zoom to the selected object: z
Double the scale value: shift+z or f10
Doubled the scale value: z or f10
In 3DMAX, switching views, turning views on or off, and performing other view operations are common tasks in the modeling process. Here are some common view action shortcuts to help you better master view control:
View switch: v
Turn the view on or off: Ctrl+V
Switch to camera view: c
Show or hide the camera: Shift+C
Lock user interface: alt+0
Match to camera view: Ctrl+C
The current view is temporarily invalid: d
The Material Editor and Background Settings are indispensable features in 3DMax. You'll be able to make material edits and background adjustments more easily with the following shortcuts:
Material Editor: m
Set the background of the view to white: shift+b or f2
Adapt to the view grid [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [A].
In addition to the commonly used shortcuts mentioned above, there are some other operation shortcuts that can help you better grasp the various functions of 3DMAX. These shortcuts will make your creative process even more convenient:
Open Close Script Editor: F11
Create a scene: CTRL+N
Retrieval scenario: Alt+Ctrl+F
Freeze Selected Objects: 6
Show Hide Grid: g
Adjust the background color of the view: b
Select all keyframes by name: shift+f
Hold the scene [alt] + [ctrl] + [h].
Fetch the scene [alt] + [ctrl] + [f].
Lock the user interface (switch) [alt] + [0].
I recommend a useful plug-in tool to everyone, which is the toolbox that comes with Render 100 Cloud Rendering!
1-pass rendering
Go to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Rendering - Channel RenderingUse the feature.
AO channel and color channel rendering are often used by friends, and the conventional way is to ** plug-in or manually set up rendering.
Now with the Render 100 Optimization Toolbox, you can use this feature locallyOne-click rendering of AOwithColor channel,Currently supports vray and corona renderer (some Chinese versions of vray are not supported),You can render with one click after setting the rendering output path locally。
2 Material Conversion
Go to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Material - Material ConversionUse the feature.
This feature is supportedMostlyVray and Corona material conversions, as well as conversions between standard materials;It is currently not compatible with the Chinese version of the renderer. (Note: The material conversion requires the installation of vray and corona renderers).
3 One key acescg
Go to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Materials - Vray AcescgUse the feature.
This function sets all the parameters of the acescg workflow locally for you, and you use it before using itProper installation is required locallyGood acescg main file.
Function Specific Settings].f10 ->vray -> open vfb window -> color correction -> ocio, specify the local ocio fileIt is also compatible with OCIO system environment variablesNote: ACESCG supports vray50 and later versions (5.)0-5.Version 1 requires manual setting of OCIO parameters).
4 Scene archivingGo to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - File - File ArchiveUse the feature.
The featureCollect scenes with one clickTextures, ** and other documents toThe specified directory, and can choose to form a compressed file after packaging, which is very convenient and fast.
5 LUT management.
Go to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Tools - Asset Management - LUT Managementto use the feature.
We've got you coveredThe rest of the set lut preset fileSimply select the desired LUT file in the toolbox, right-click > apply, and you can view the effect in the vray and corona renderer framebuffer window.
6 vray parameter templateGo to the Optimization ToolboxPanel — Rendering — One-click vray parameter adjustmentSelect the corresponding parameter template.
We provide five sets of vray rendering parameter templates:Very low, low, medium, high, very high).；It can be set to the renderer for rendering with one click.
7 One-click collapseGo to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Modify - CollapseIf you select , you can quickly collapse, that is, directly collapse the selected model!
The collapse feature automatically filters out VR** as well as line graphics. Advantage: Collapse model, which merges selected models into a single mesh style model. The collapsed model will make the file size larger, but it will greatly speed up the smooth operation of the scene and the rendering speed.
8 One-click segmentationGo to the Optimization ToolboxPanel - Material - Material subdivisionSelect different scene materials and lights (including reflection subdivision, reflection depth, refraction subdivision, refraction depth, light subdivision), you can subdivide with one click, or you can modify the scene material or light separately.
9 Scene CleanupGo to the Optimization ToolboxPanels - Tools - Scene CleanupSelect to clean up all kinds of garbage in the scene with one click. (Scenes include: empty objects, empty layers, animation tracks, collision cache, bitmap cache, missing textures, missing plugins, etc.).
10 Model Replication
Go to the Optimization ToolboxPanels - Tools - Model CopySelect to copy the model and paste it into the scene with one click.
The most important thing is that you can use this function to save model textures, which can improve work efficiency and not be afraid of losing textures.
Register **Render 100 can be used, Render 100 network rendering cloud rendering also supports LUT loading, acescg loading. All systems use cloud servers, which are stable and do not queue. Sign up and fill in the 5858 invitation code to get a rendering coupon for testing.
Currently, Render 100 supports up to 3DMAX2024, V-RAY62. Corona11, ACESCG workflow, Corona renderer LUT files all support rendering, click to register and fill in [5858] for free testing
I hope this 3dmax common shortcut key sorting can be helpful to everyone!By mastering these shortcuts, you'll be able to model and create with 3DMax more efficiently.
