3DS Max 2015 doesn't display material properly

I am currently working on a DOTA 2 mod using 3DSMax (DirectX 9 with DirectX Shader as driver and material respectively) for a school project. For some reason, 3DS Max doesn't display the material bellow (Picture for proof). I tried adding 3ds max to NVIDIA graphic card and updating my NVIDIA, but they still don't work.

You are looking at it in wireframe mode so only the wireframe is show.

At the top left of the 4 individual viewports you can change them to shaded or realistic and it should show the materials again.

If I switch to realistic or shaded (viewport 4) then the figure disappear. It is so frustrating

It doesn't work. I believe the problem cause by the DOTA 2 mod material

Does it display any directx material?
As in, make a new object, assign it a new material, and set that to a directX shader. See if it shows up. If so see what is different about the material you have applied to Lion.

Also, why bother using a directX shader in max while you're modding content? The built in shaders are quite good for most standard purposes.

It displays fine with the default directX shader, but it doesn't work with Hero DOTA 2mod shader (link http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110022).

The reason why I use directX shader in 3ds max is that I am trying to follow the criteria of the project. And their mod shader matches with the materials needed in DOTA 2 (as in they have map for each material for DOTA2)
