3dMax 2009 not showing directX shaders

Vitor

Hello, due to a new client I had do move to Max 2009. I need to show directX shaders on the viewport for a few grabs but it isn't working as I was used on Max2008. I mean, i usually just put the maps on a standard Max material and turn on the hardware rendering and voil

switch to a DX material and load your .fx shader, adjust your lighting setup & maps, done - or am i missing something?

what version of DX are you using? Maybe you'll have better luck with 9 if you arent currently using it.

Well that is working, but I always found using Max standard shader with hardware rendering on viewport a lot straight forward and easier to use between us and client without external shaders.

ah, it is directx 9. Everything is working fine on Max2008, it is just on 2k9 and 2010 that is not.

I get the same thing in Max2009 with ATI cards. It works fine with Nvidia though.

that sucks! glad that I'm not the only one... did you find any fix to it, except change the card ?
