Need some help with Gmax

Postby Stratobat » Fri May 14, 2004 12:46 pm

Hey Guys,

I'm having problems setting up the background line drawings in Gmax. I've edited each one out (Top, Front and Left), but I just can't get the box to line up correctly. Is there another method/way to set up the backgrounds in Gmax?

I've been using the box method, as described in the P-38 Tutorial.

Regards,

Oi!  I hate the Gmax tutes!  They are almost useless, since there have been so many different ones posted that are so much better.

I would first start with the FSDS site if you haven't already tried it:

www.freeflightdesign.com

If this does not do for you, then there is a (slightly) more complicated method involving adding the templates to an actual poly in the scene.

Hey Ender Baron,

I can get the Top view to show up properly, but the Front view, when I lock the Pan/Zoom, cut's out half of the Line Drawing ???

I use the technique described by Finn Neuik in his video tutorial which used to be available.
