Max: xray/see-thru mode stopped being xray/see-thru

monsto

Max is continually kicking my ass with shit like this. Minding my own business, doing whatever (skyrim outfits) and for whatever reason it decided to stop with the semi-transparency when i alt-X

been persisting for a couple days now, so restarting doesn't fix it. Any ideas where should i look to fix this?

Your viewport transparency setting is probably turned off.

Ugh. that's annoying. I don't have any recollection of being in that menu, so... whatever.

Thanks, tho.

edit: can that transparency be varied? the transparency in the object props page changes the trans but is an object change not just a ui effect.

Nope. Alt-x is all or nothing. But you can use a shader to do a better effect, if you like. For example fresnel is a great technique (more solid on sides of model, more transparent in the middle).
