Wierd falloff in 3ds max viewport shaded mode

Skolejenta

Hi!

I am having an issue with my model getting a falloff in the viewport. I don't know what causes it and neither did my teacher so I am hopeing you guys might have a hunch.

Here is a picture of the viewport:

Try this, right click on the plus sign in the view port(top left) > configure view ports > Lighting and shadows tab > set the Illuminate Scene with to default lights 1 light.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately it only chanmged the falloff from having a soft shadow to straight black. We get vray from school and I got that installed. Tried changing from that to scanline, but that didn't do anything. The odd thing is we get it randomly in class. We got the same maxstart file ,but some get it and some doesn't. Is it a graphic card thing perhaphs?

hm, if you are not already, try using the direct 3d driver instead of nitrous.

That did the trick. Thanks!
