3ds Max Viewport Display Issue

Sean VanGorder

Hey guys, I've been working on some high poly models for a project and have been running into some display issues.

I'm currently working on this model, and have a turbosmooth applied to the grate section. When I don't have it selected, and wires turned off, the display goes crazy. When it IS selected, or wires turned on, it's fine. Any idea what the problem could be?

EDIT: Also, if I turn down the smooth iterations from 2 to 1, the problem goes away, so I'm assuming its a memory issue? I have worked with much larger files before though, and never had a problem.

Bingo!

If you're using meshsmooth or turbosmooth you can decrease the viewport iterations and increase the render iterations. That way you get more polys at render time without having to lug them around in the viewport.

Vig - I completely forgot about that, and I wish I would have thought of it earlier. Thanks man!

You can also set the object properties to display as box, if you run into any memory issues
