Topic: Creating multi-view images in max

Is there an easy way to do this?

Rhaz, I assume you're talking about summint like this?

 

There are 2 ways I know of.

1:  (the way I do it)  In Rendering - Video Post, create a Scene Event for each view (Top, Front, Side & Perspective/Camera) and an Image Output Event for each one, saving as your prefered image type (Jpg, Bmp etc) and order them something like this:

 

Then import the model you want and click run. You should end up with 4 pictures in your chosen destination. Then, in Photoshop/Paint Shop Pro or whatever, cut and paste the 4 images into one, scale to fit and nudge around till you're happy. Once one is done, you can use it as a template for the rest  I saved a Max file called Picture Setup exactly for this purpose, import the model and click run.

2: Copy and paste the model 3 times in Max, so you have 4, rotate them to be in poition and setup the view to get what you want, and render one image and you're done. I know a couple of other people do it this way, but I find it easier to use Photoshop rather than trying to line the models/views up in Max

Hope that helps a bit. There may be other ways but none I know of that will render all 4 views into one image.

Exactly right Thu11s !
