3ds Max 2012 projection cage issues.

Hi everyone!.

Im having a problem with 3ds max 2012 projection cage. I just got a new computer and this is the first time im making a bake in it. I usually turn on the "shaded" box under display in the projection tab, but i dont get the shaded display at all, its just transparent. has anybody had the same issue???.

Thanks!!.

The shade on my cage usually doesn't show if I have Viewport Shading on (Shift+F3)

Thanks let me give that a try.

Thanks i gave that a try but it didnt seemed to work, apparently from what i´ve been able to find out it could be a graphic card issue(i have an NVIDIA Geforce gtx 550 ti).

If you post a screenshot maybe someone will be able to identify the problem easier.

I have a similar problem when the viewport is set to Nitrous. off the top of my head I forget how I get around it.

I either set the viewport transparency to best, or switched the viewport driver back to Direct3D...

Did anyone find a fix for this, or is it still just workaround like changing to DX etc?

Quack!

This is a bug. Just have to use DX, or do without the shading.

Thats a shame. Thanks

This is pretty interesting, my shaded cage doesn't show up at all unless I have nitrous turned ON. Sucks that this bug even exists but at least there is a work around...guess the take home is if your shaded cage isn't showing up switch to whatever display driver you're not using.

Yep still does it to me when using Nitrous... It's annoying and I hope they finally fix it because I actually get better performance using Nitrous.

This thread was bumped in 2014. I'm here to bump it again just to say that Shift + F3 worked for me. I'm using the Legacy 3D driver.

Thanks!
