now what i wanted to do here right now was to let max 9 make automated a good configured path system for the projects we do here.
i know max does this allready, but how can i tell max, to do a specialised path configuration right up from the start.
also does max save this on each single max file this configuration or do i have to configure it on each project again new. ?
it would be very nice if i could start my max scenes and my phathes would point directly to the folder of my project and using a specialised folder configuration that i need.
hm, i’ve managed to track down the 3dsmax.ini file for max 9:
C:\Documents and Settings\‘username’\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\9 - 64bit\enu
…but i have been unsuccessful in adding an tag and a path to a remote 3dsmax.ini - like it can be done with plugin.ini
don’t know if this has ever been possible, but it would solve a lot of path frustrations regarding network rendering…anyone had any success with a server based 3dsmax.ini?
check this out. in the install.ini set the profile to 0 and it resets the UI to the max folder. otherwise it saves it to users. and if like me, you have lots of users hoping around, its a nightmare to roll out mass changes.
i’ve tried hard to keep an open mind and think positive about the ‘user’ profiles in max 9 - it never worked, thanks to you, i can now screw it alltogether, good stuff!
regarding mass changes though, i still haven’t found a way to make max.ini or install.ini to accept this:
