[neo1487]

can i move freely in the perspective box, like if u were viewing a game u would use a, s, d and w to more around with the mouse... if ur a gamer u would understand better... well i was wondern if i can do this with 3dsmax..

thx in advance..srry for any bad englich :-X

you mean within max, or when you output a file?

if you mean within max, than I'd suggest using the move tool... looks like a hand in the lower right.

check out the manual. that might help a bit too.

try using your middle mouse btn (if you have one that is) for basic nav...

mmBtn = pan
mmBtn + shift = pan (constrained to axis)
mmBtn + ctrl = faster pan
mmBtn + alt = arc rotate
mmBtn + ctrl + alt = zoom

hope this helps.

oh, no doubt. heck, I forgot how to create a circular array a couple of days ago... and it killed me for like over an hour.

bigsquid, nice tips. heck, I'm noting that for future use.



lol WMLeeBo. you might be a n00b. but I'm just rusty! we all learn from each other though

np, forgot one as well

mmBtn + alt+ shift constrains the arc rotate to axis.

dunno about arrays, i'm still trying to make a teapot
