Import PDF as blueprints to 3ds Max
In this tutorial, Andrew will show you how to import architectural blueprints (reference image) saved as PDFs straight to 3ds Max. No resaving in Photoshop is needed since 3ds Max supports PDF documents with its Vector Map - even multipage ones.
On top of that you will learn the whole workflow for setting blueprints for archviz modeling with many tips and tricks that will make your work faster and easier:
Learn how to align design levels with 3ds Max coordinate system
How to automatically hide the blueprints so that they don't block your view
How to organize them in your scene
How to make sure that they display in the best quality in the viewports
How to scale them with the best precision so your model will have correct dimensions
And many more tips!
