Blueprints not showing in Max 2016

tjc101 — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 18:11:19 GMT

Hi all,

Up until quite recently I was using 3DS Max 2014. I`ve now got Max 2016 but when I open up a couple of car models I started in Max 2014 in Max 2016 the blueprints are no longer showing. They are not in the Material Editor either, the slots used for them are empty but other materials (colours etc) are still there in the slots used before.

I`ve tried to (re) set the Project Folder but when I do that I`m getting a message saying the paths are invalid and it mentions 3DS Max 2014.

I`d appreciate any help with this.

Cheers

you need to set a user path from the 3ds max to that folder where the car images are stored , or just readd them to the material editor,

Configure User Paths(s) links
