Transformative UVW Map Feature No One Knew Existed | 3dsMax

Yo guys, today on ‪@RenderRam‬ I discovered this magical UVW Map button, and oh boy... the stuff I can do with this! Check it out!
Don't forget to check ‪@evermotion‬ website for some super turbo fun content evermotion.org/

[@Itsyesfahad]

People are still complaining about 3ds Max for not having a lot of features, but in reality, they suck and don't know how to use the software probarly, this video is a great example, thank you.

[@TextureSupply]

20 years in and I've literally never noticed this buttons existence. 😂

[@RenderRam]

If you knew about Acquire... you're officially a PRO

[@OfirGardy]

Knew about it. Acquire "Relative" also has its merits. if you need a UVW on a transformed scattered objects you want to have the same/relative mapping. Another great use of the Absolute mode is for example if you're building a puzzle game. and you want each part of the puzzle (when you initially have them completed and ordered) to get the full-image from another object. You apply and assign it "Absolute" and then you're free to scramble the parts. . Great tut/quickTip what so ever.

[@patricktesta2913]

I Knew🤓! (But thank you for all your tips, anyway!!)

[@gildinovic1072]

Had I died this morning I would've never known this option existed... Jesus... Another incredible find! Great job Vjeko! 💪

[@CristianStancu]

24 years of 3ds max here as well, didn’t see that button either. Hope that makes you feel normal 😂

[@Mr1Zizou]

clicked out of curiosity, now thanks to you I have a magic skill added to my humbled knowledge

[@TorgeirHolm]

25 years with max here. Never knew about this. Great find!

[@ThePatrvq]

incredible!

[@adrianMiranda88]

OMG my head explode!!! thanks for sharing this!!

[@Kreative3DMedia]

Like yourself, I've been using 3ds max since the early versions (3d Studio Max 2.5)...and I remember this Acquire button being there since forever and part of my daily workflow...I never thought it was so little known

[@Mranshumansinghr]

I did use this in the past. Maybe in the early 2000's but it was mostly for Shop fronts with similar proportions. This is your genius approach that you used it like this. Maybe Autodesk should send you a thankyou letter for making it usable years later.

[@mali22]

I pretty much use it daily to transfer UVs from already mapped objects to newly created ones. But it's fascinating how you found completely new uses for it that I wouldn't have ever thought of :D I guess it's just one of those things that seem obvious if you know about it but many people obviously don't.

[@3drobt753]

Thank you!! more proof that this channel is must watch. I always learn (acquire) something from you..and I've been using max for several thousand years. Until 5 minutes ago when I started watching this video, I would have used the more complicated projection modifier which I now realize is less efficient and slower than this simple trick...Keep it up!

[@juanitojimenez13]

No one knew existed? LOL I've been using Acquire in the UVW Map modifier for many years!

[@RenderRam]

Should have added “at some point” in the title :P

[@StreetVolleyball-Iran]

Hey, I checked out your video just yesterday, and I applied the feature you demonstrated today. It really saved me a ton of work. Thanks a bunch!

[@ArquiKev]

Amazing !!!

[@L30nHbl]

WTF... that is crazy! thanks alot!

[@Maxdesign3d]

Amazing trick. Thanks a lot.

[@karldigitalcontentcreator635]

Superb, been using Max since v1.0, never knew this. Exceptionally useful time saver! Thankyou! As always, informative and entertaining!

[@yamar4116]

Each time I watch your videos I feel like I get a mandella effect - how didn't I know this was there!!!

[@eduardoromero5629]

Kinda feel embarassed lol, how nay years...and god knows how many features im.missing. good job

[@rajendrameena150]

Actually i use similar feature in blender called "project from view" in unwraping and even use texture painting clone tool to match the two projected maps that way you can perfectly apply textures, even cool that you can rotate your shoe and paint only certain parts of the mesh.

[@WaspMedia3D]

I've always wondered what the heck that was for - awesome stuff Vjeko, I can _definitely_ use this.

[@ybratley]

20 odd years also and have been using this 19.5, very handy indeed..

[@Kumodot]

I use ACQUIRE all the time, and miss it on every other software I use. (Maya, Houdini, C4D, etc).

[@titoutone]

Thank you so much I already knew it, but i never thought to use it like that

[@IllGib]

That's gold for videogames modeling! Gold isn't enough, that's gold full platinum coted! Man how i hate unwrapping, that's literally a life saver for background props or mid/low poly models.

[@StreetVolleyball-Iran]

wow🤯🤯

[@satyamtyagi8494]

That's really cool stuff!

[@mae2309]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. so fkn amazing. I never even bothered to look at that button for 15 years... Thank you. I will give that a go .

[@pradeepj7919]

😮😮😮wowwww thank u sir

[@davidkroft]

What the hell, this feature is awesome 😂 Either there were no good tutorials on 3DS Max before yours, or this software is not well taught to its users... Definitely going to abuse this Acquire button for mid-poly props.

[@evilone10]

Indeed very efficient for a quick and dirty way, but let's be honest with the tools that are available nowadays, there are better way to do it with proper PBR workflow. But as long your model is not a hero assets it defenitly does the trick !

[@kenanavc5918]

How i never wondered what that button does in 18 years is beyond me. I need to click random buttons that i haven't yet to figure out what they do more often.

[@1981danielmn]

we use all the time at my company for very specific. We do large scale Terrain viiz and we cut up like 30 tiles per proj. And we use acquire because uv projections need to butt up edge to edge.

[@AlbusCorax]

Knew about it, but never used it that way. Gone to bang into some walls.. great trick.

[@KenetorTV]

haha this has been in max for donkeys years! Ive used to sooooo many times to line up brick textures between multiple objects

[@silentboof]

Damn! there is just no end to this software, is it?

[@Arikiatrukido]

Man....wtfff....where was this all my life...

[@jeffscott3186]

There is so much buried inside 3ds max.

[@user-br8yk7vw9g]

Amazing

[@evgeniydyakonov4430]

lets make shoes acquire on all evermotion models😁

[@fadisoueidi4127]

the only channel where I click like then watch 😀

[@mojioko6068]

no wayyyyy ahhah what ? btw what if we all collapce this and then add uvnwrap ? we save the unwraped model ?

[@RenderRam]

yup, unwrap will show everything correctly!

[@mojioko6068]

@@RenderRammannnn im crying

[@dalienware668]

Its cool but pretty much the same as adding a Planar UV Map to each side.

[@nenadkraljic3399]

Don't want to brag, but I've been using the acquire button for 20 years now. :D

[@RenderRam]

Coz that’s what’s up! 💪🏻 ❤️

[@sturm3d]

alas, I did not know that was always there.. 😮

[@pradeep_mangalassery]

👍🔥

[@madheeh]

We need a better documentation of 3ds max, with video tool tips on every button we hover over

[@RenderRam]

I'm down to do them if Autodesk is down :D Every tip would start with Yo guys! :D

[@RyanDaily]

Jake in Motion did that very thing for every single default plugin in Adobe After Effects. I reference those videos all of the time.

[@thecuckoocook]

Dude…I’ve NEVER used 3dsmax and even I didn’t know this existed 🤯🤯

[@RenderRam]

ahahahahahaha!!

[@studio2513]

What to do if I can't add uvw mod to the sourse object like megascans mesh (it would riun existing mapping)?

[@RenderRam]

If you wanna project a mapping to other object Use projection modifier!

[@johnheavenly3552]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

[@Simplyprax]

damn i'm stupid lol

[@RenderRam]

Join the club! 💪

[@claudiumanea5337]

I don’t think it’s people’s fault, I think it’s autodesk marketing fault they don’t promote this features. For a few years I used blender to compensate for the lack of knoledge I had in 3ds max, because I couldn’t find what I needed. In blender you can find literally anything. So, in my opinion, it’s autodesks’s fault and the 3ds max community doesn’t share knowledge. The majority of PROs keep this knowledge for themselves. Blender community is awsome. Renderram, arrimus and maybe a few others are awsome. Thanks!
