3DS MAX STUDIO 8 REDUCE VERTICES SOFTWARE

This book takes you through the challenge of learning one of the most complex computer programs ever created, by way of easy-to-follow tutorials and instruction. Just as the use ofВ computer-aided designВ became the norm for nearly all architectural, engineering, and construction firms in the 1990s, 3D visualizations have become standard practice today. In just the last few years, the visualization industry has arguably become the fastest-growing 3D industry, and may soon overtake all others in total number of users.

Default=off.Welcome to the world of 3D architectural visualizations using the most powerful and versatile 3D software package on the planet: 3ds Max. Turns off any edges between faces whose normals are within the face threshold such edges beyond the threshold are not turned on. Turns edges on and off following optimization. Default=0.0.ДЄlong with Bias, this control helps you avoid creating long skinny faces while optimizing. Any value greater than 0 specifies the maximum length of the edges. When Max Edge Len is 0, it has no effect.

Specifies the maximum length, beyond which an edge cannot be stretched when optimized. Range=0.0 to 1.0 (a 0 value turns Bias off). The default of 0.1 is enough to eliminate the skinniest triangles. Higher values keeps triangles from becoming degenerate. Helps eliminate the skinny or degenerate triangles that occur during optimization, which can cause rendering artifacts. At the same time you can apply a high face threshold to get good optimization. Sets a different threshold angle for open edges (those that bound only one face). Higher values improve optimization, but are more likely to result in faces that render poorly (see Bias). Low values produce less optimization but better approximations of the original shape. Sets the threshold angle used to determine which faces are collapsed. The following parameters are stored for each level: Face Threshold, Edge Threshold, Bias, Max Edge Len, Material Boundaries, and Smooth Boundaries. Do a test rendering to see the effect on the renderer. You see the effect immediately in a smooth shaded viewport. Switch between L1 and L2 for either Viewports or Renderer.Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Viewports L2, adjusting parameters for a different optimization.This sets the L1 level of optimization for both the viewport and the renderer. Adjust parameters in the Optimize and Preserve groups.In the Parameters rollout Level of Detail group, choose Viewports L1.In the Optimize group, vary parameters to continue reducing geometry.Д¬ompare the result in the two viewports against the Before/After count.In the Parameters rollout Last Optimize Status group, notice the Before/After count for vertices and faces.

You can also choose to view the results of the Optimize operation manually by leaving the Manual Update checkbox turned on and clicking the Update button every time you wish to view a result.

Turn off Manual Update and then adjust the Face Thresh value.

The Parameters rollout for this modifier appears.

Select an object and apply the Optimize modifier.

Set up two viewports: one wireframe, one smooth shaded.
