3ds max: DirectX 10 weirdness

scourgewarper · Dec 2008

After changing to directX 10 in configure driver and reloading max, all objects are rendered with triangular faces even when I turn it off in configure driver and reload. Also the main grid lines that cross 0,0 are missing. Anyone else have this problem?

To be honest i've no need to use directX 10 I was just fiddling around with the options. I'm using 3ds max 2009 x64 SP1 on Vista.

i would just stick to directX9 I noticed a lot of oddities and slowdown when i turned on 10. There's no real benefit that i'm aware of when using directX10 in max.

Agreed I was just experimenting and switched back to DirectX 9 although now when in vertex mode none of the blue vertices show up in the view port?!? I've checked the show vertex in viewport option too in preferences and they're still missing :S

Solved - don't know why but if you check 'Redraw scene on windows expose' in configure driver options the vertices appear as blue dots again.
