3ds max 2017 any quick way to mimic the 3ds max 2012 auto realistic perspective viewport?

It looks like its gone from 2017. It was a really good perspective view-port renderer that worked really fast and had AO and Shading automatically set up (It looked really good). Is there any way to configure max to act like that again? You didn't even need a skylight it just realistically rendered while you worked.

Turn on AO in per-view presets and  check Improve Quality Pregressively in viewport configuration

Idk why but doing what you said did pretty much nothing i can notice. Here is a clearer example

When it auto shades realistically, this video shows him dropping a skylight down, but i remember 2012 was already setup so you did not have to drop a skylight down. It would still realistically render real time ao and shadows without a skylight.

Make sure you follow other settings I showed as well : advance rendering level, soft-edge shadow,...

and Max's viewport can be buggy sometime, so try to switch to from default shading to clay and then switch back.
