normals in 3ds max 2014

veetya · Sep 2013

I have 2010 & 2014 versions installed right now. In 2010 normals looks good, nothing flipped. But in 2014 looks like normals of some uv islands are flipped(or some channel is flipped there). I tried to change display normals option (3ds max, maya, dx) but nothing helped. Help please

Try another application. I read somewhere that the normal display in max is totally botched. I would give http://viewportshader.com/ a try or just view it in UDK or something.

2014 is fine, but:

1) you need to use dx 9, not default nitrous dx11
2) your viewport shader of choice needs the tangent and bitangent swapping over thanks to a bugfix whch is in 2014.

Have fun!
