3ds max tutorial -Terrain Modeling : how to convert Autocad topography lines to 3ds MAX model

[@invidios]

To fix that messy mesh, use a plane and "conform" modifier. Tnx! :) (no plugin, it;s in 3D MAx) :)

@@kamalprem511 almost forgot this one. :)))

[@burdurky4301]

Excellent, straight to the point and no crapping on about pointless shit, thanks. That terrain plug in works in 3DS Max 2017 by the way.

[@nelsonperez1252]

Thank you very much for the contribution working on 3ds max design 2014 and 3ds max 2017

[@PeshrawRozh]

this makes incredible enhancement to overall process of modeling. Great job, thank you.

[@bojanbozinovic2631]

Very useful. You made this easy. Thanks!

[@TheMgl89]

Wow how do you zoom and pan at the same time?. so smooth .

[@kiariancoohill1679]

4:02 'you'll find it under tools->populate:terrain'... you click into space. There is no populate terrain on the menu. I installed the plugin, but it's not showing. Am I missing something?

[@aliayubabbasi]

Can you share plugin link.... populate3D website doesn't work anymore.... Thanks

[@alexhajji2480]

Instructive and clear. Thank you for your time and efforts

[@ratancyrilseth6217]

[@AgentFire0]

Thank you for that TERRAIN object. I spent hours fixing small issues with vertices, using the stupid Surface modifier, and so on. Oh my.

[@theryanx7816]

Do you have a link for the plugin he used ?

[@vava_voom]

+Juan Sebastian Reyes Aristizabal great :)

[@3dfloripaprojetos590]

Thanks! Very usefull!

[@Mujahid798]

thanks a lot. Its praiseworthy.

[@davidstraka]

How do i instal the plugin please? Do i just drag and drop it into the 3dsmax file? THX

[@samurai2150]

That is a great video, thanks for sharing! The plugin looks a lot like topology tools in 3Ds Max 2012 and later but apparently it is specifically created for that purpose. How would you go about creating a road with certain heights then conforming a terrain to it? (the reverse of the traditional conform track to mesh). Thanks again!

[@ihinsolihin]

very thanks

[@MsAnastasyy]

thank you!

[@tom-fj1bb]

great vid, does anyone have a clean installer for the free terrain plugin? kaspersky is saying the current one on site is infected with trojan-ransome :-(

[@daedrick]

+arch viz camp Even after optimising the polylines in autocad down from 1 000 000 to 270 000 when I import it into 3ds max its lagging hardcore... down to 0.087 FPS. I pressed terrain and it pretty much freeze. I have a beefy computer so there is something I must do wrong. I unticked cap closed lines, reduced the steps to 6 from 12 but I did not resize it as its the correct units. What could I possible do? Thanks for the help!

[@daedrick]

I managed it, I will post my process if anyone needs it.

[@rai900]

Thanks! it helped me a lot!

[@davewilliams9568]

Great video, thanks. Do you know if there is a version of Populate Terrain or another plugin that works with Max 2017?

[@tom-fj1bb]

did you ever get this resolved? I am in a similar boat, that virus is nasty ransomware that infected the download zip file, so I'll not be using that plugin... cheers

[@ozgurcanbahceci9562]

That helped a lot thank you so much :)

[@Spidahbridged]

[@LightShadow]

If you move the topography lines to 3ds max - There is a plugin which is awesome SplineLand. I made a tutorial about it. (I am not related to the company just a user)

[@AdilKhan-fn7nz]

splineland is free or not....you have any link to download free

[@agentcarbunkle]

Great but when i import my autocad file, instead of the contours being one object There are hundreds of 3d polylines? why is this?

[@agentcarbunkle]

Ah figured it out set the - Derive Autocad primitives by tab - Layer , Blocks as node hierachy, split by material - so the layer is one object

[@mbenavides]

Thanks !!

[@paullangford6360]

In AutoCad, if you WBLOCK the mesh out to another unique DWG file, it will automatically purge for you.

[@archvizcamp]

Didn't know that, thanks!

[@JO68423]

thanks a lot, the plugin is no longer available, website is down but i was able to find the script, here it is, drive.google.com/file/d/1LWDuboMLUVC3Z6pHq5ff07eysEYB9U18/view?usp=sharing i use 3ds max 2021 and it works just fine, only thing to do is drag the updated version on the 3d viewport or run the script from the scripting panel and that's it.

[@ahmedabuzeitoon4884]

thank u

[@paoladuenas4357]

can you insert this as an object in another 3ds file?? :) excellent tutorial!!

[@archvizcamp]

+Paola Dueñas yes you can :)

[@atifrana3575]

gracias...

[@siddiquinaila3761]

I can work with 3d max. Should I learn autocad? Pls reply

[@maioneza86]

AutoCAD is basic 3D studio max, so if you can work with 3D max you have already learned AutoCAD !

[@LRV-TECH]

I need this Terrain DWG CAD file! Do you can give me it?

[@santoshmerugu7447]
