gmax question

[zombie615 9]

Can someone please tell me if I need to register this or not? Last time on my other machine I don't remember having to have a registration code for it. Also, it said that it would send me one but it isn't asking for my email. It's asking for my address, phone number, and etc...

 

I got it from Turbosquid and my anti-virus program didn't detect any issues. So what am I doing wrong?

The site does not send you a registration code, it gives you one directly

Now I'm confused even more. What do you mean by it gives me one directly? So, if I just throw some fake information in there it will still give me a code? lol

[Cool_Z 1,547]

Yup

 

But remember you had to register to turbosquid first, this time using an email confirmation

Well I got it registered an installed. Now when I open it all it does is hang an states it is not responding. I have windows 8.1 is there a fix? I clicked OpenGL

Sorry I can't help you if it's a W8 related problem. Try compatibility modes, stuff like that. I don't know how you could reset to try using direct3D instead of open gl

[zombie615 9]

Well that is the issue at hand. I can not open up the gmax program to select DirectX instead of OpenGL. *sigh* I just deleted it. I'll just go out an buy a 3D Modeling program if I plan on learning to do stuff like that.

You WILL need gMax for the BAT, since the BAT only works on that.

What you could try is uninstalling gMax and then re-install it again. Make sure you need to reset the settings.

[Cool_Z 1,547]

Yep, re-install. You'll find a way :)

I reinstalled gmax and now it says that my registration code is no longer valid! 

 

Do I have to go to TurboSquid again and go through that whole rigamarole again (I still have my email, of course) or see if there's a small file in the old gmax settings that I could manually patch my copy with?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

You probably have to do that, but it will be worth the try
