3DS Max and Backface Culling
polycounter lvl 9
OK, Firstly for those who don't know what it is, Backface Culling is a step that a renderer takes to work out which polygons are facing away from the camera. If a polygon is facing away from the camera there is no need to draw it. Having to draw less polygons obviously gives you an increase in speed.. or so i thought 
Not in max it seems, or atleast its not a black and white affair. Turning it on seems to result in a massive drop in viewport perfromance. and for some messed up reason its defaulting to on for me. Anyone else have this or have I just borked my defaults at some point

The reason i posted with wires is that was where I got an appreciable increase in speed. Wires were unworkable with BC enabled.
