Normals not showing up in realistic viewport with lighting in 3dmax

Wayfray

Hi everyone,

My lighting setup seems to prevent my normal maps from having any effect on my low poly models. Here is a screenshot of the shaded viewport mode, where the normals are fine, and realistic, where I can't see them. Can anyone tell me how I could change my lighting to fix this?

Have you tried re-enabling the maps? Realistic>Materials>Realistic materials with maps

doesnt nitrous have some broken normal display from the start and no attempt to have it fixed?

Thanks for the responses. Re-enabling maps didn't seem to do anything, but switching to another driver from Nitrous did allow my normals to show up. I switched back to Nitrous' broken viewport for now since I didn't feel like navigating the new viewport config menu.

I also cannot see normal maps in 3ds max 2014 with nitrous enabled. directx works though.
