Making Sure Your Grids Are Set Up In Max

Steven helped me make sure my grid was set up correctly in max for modelling (to make it easier to take into UDK), and I thought I'd write it up quickly - partially so I don't forget!

First, right-click on Grid and Snap Settings.

On Snaps make sure Grid Points is checked.


On Home Grid, change the Grid Spacing to a value of 2 (1,2,4,8,16,32, etc). For this project, keeping it between 8 and 16 is best.


To make things easier, keep the pivot point to a corner, especially if the shape has an odd number of grid points.
