Hello,
So, in a hectic recent few weeks of no time to experiment and a bunch of harsh deadlines, I made a whole bunch of recommendations about how things should be achieved without adequate time to test my suppositions…other than my “well, it worked fine in MAYA” former experience.
One of them is now biting me in the butt…Max XREF’s. As another thread has become bogged down with XREF opinions, I thought I’d stick in my request for help and guidance in to temp some of those opinions this way…
Looking around the web, it seems to be a common problem in MAX that object references can easily lose their connection if the original model is altered, resulting in the dreaded (off the top of my head) Unresolved error. Are there any ways around this? I haven’t come across any solutions… someone mentioned not using the “convert to editable…X” modifier on the original model, but I don’t use these anyway and it still seems pretty problematic.
I don’t think using scene references is an option, I’ll have to check, but my current thinking is just doing without references all together as someone suggested.
