3DS MAX Hardware shading issue

uberphoenix

Hello,

I'm trying to make some items for dota 2. When I tried to turn on hardware shading in the viewport, the option isn't actually there. After I did some reading apparently you need to be in DirectX9? I am not sure if this is set by default for me.

Here is a screenshot of my viewport settings



What do I need to change here to get hardware shading working? Just to say again I do NOT have the option for it, it isn't greyed out either

in viewport click on the top left where you have display parameters, find lighting and shadows, enable HW shadowing.

Ok, I changed to OpenGL on the graphics settings but now the option for hardware shading is greyed out, same for ambient occlusion etc

EDIT - FIXED!! yay, I needed it to be on direc3D which i am assuming is what max calls directx
