I just recently upgraded to 3ds max after having alot of fun rendering in blender thanks to Bogey Jammer(This Guy Rocks My Socks )

And now im wondering if theres some sort of ready to render pack for 3ds max? Although im not expecting something as detailed as the blender one. just maybe one with the lfs cars in? And a simple guide on applying textures to the object.

Most f the cars can be found at http://www.morrowdesigns.eu/downloads.php?cat_id=1.

The others should be in this section some where.

http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/3D_Render_Tutorial this might help.

Right, ive installed brazil, well i acctually dont know if i have or not, i did the stuff that came in the file for it, but i have no clue if it's installed right or not :S

And now i cant find a cmx viewer plug in for 3ds max 9 the one on that wikipedia page is dead

As far as I know, the CMX plugin stopped working with either 7 or 8, so I don't think you'll be able to imprt the cars.

Uh oh. Does that mean there isnt any way to get the lfs cars into 3DS max?
What a waste!

Just download the scenes from the site I posted earlier.

You will know if you installed Brazil corerctly -as when loading 3DSmax - a screen will pop up - with Rio on it - cant miss it.

You can render LFS cars - download the link above.

Ah right, yeah i doubt ive installed brazil right, because when i run 3ds max a error pops up and it crashes. Well if i ever manage to get it to work ill download the scenes in the link you gave me


Edit: I give up with brazil, is there anyway to open them up without brazil?

Yes you still can open the file without Brazil. It is just that you can't render properly without Brazil materials. What you need to do is replace all the Brazil Materials with the standard or Mental Ray materials. And render with either DSR or Mental Ray renderer instead of Brazil.
It only takes about an hour to convert all materials and lightings if you are experienced user in Max.
