It's probably a graphics driver issue. Depending on what video card you have you might want to update it's drivers, or switch max to another display mode. Newer max versions default to the Nitrous display driver which doesn't run so well on older cards. Switching back to Direct3D works best on the older hardware, you do…
[ figured it out bratha this is what i had to do Go to C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Autodesk/3dsMaxDesign/(version)/ find a folder called ENU. Rename it, like ENU-OLD. Then start Max and see if that fixes anything also thanks for the rapid response. link to the post that had answer…

Hey folks, got a small problem with some animations for a project we're working on. As it is now, we've got a few guns comprised of 80 odd separate parts, most of which animate using regular Max key-framing. We then used bones and skin modifiers for certain objects such as springs. The problem we're having is that in XNA…
!Bump! This is so funny. I was having the problem so I googled for the max script line highlighted on the error message and found this thread. I had removed the very same plugins from the stdplugs folder to see if max loaded faster. Guess there's a reason Max doesn't allow you to unload plugins via the plugin manager tool…
Doesn't x turn the axes on and off? it's turned on atm Well I got a lot of stuff done at home and forgot to check these answers but now i'm back at college with some stuff to finish. Pior, according to my snapping options there is no option ticked for normals. I Don't have 3ds max in front atm because I'm currently stuck…
Looking at some maps i baked both in maya and max(with default settings in both apps), Maya doesn't do any dithering, while Max does. This means in maya you'll get banding, in max you'll get noise. Generally neither of these will be apparent enough to care about tho, especially after you start texturing. The max one is…
Hi guys so with 3ds Max we have Constraint options in Edit Geometry , but when I want to extrude vertex or edges along the edge I don't have any option. Also its quite awkward in Max that I can't align vertex to vertex/edge/face like with Maya just choose a vertex and hold 'v' on keyboard to align. :/
I've been working in max 2k8 all this time but now I thought I'd give 2k9 a try this weekend. One thing I noticed immediately is the marquee selection box or fence selection is REALLY slow and choppy. Even with nothing in the viewport. I've never had this problem with max 2K8. I thought installing SP1 would fix it but…
Hello, I have a problem, maybe it's a noob question but I'm new in 3d software. For example while on model is turbosmooth I save my work and close 3ds max. When I want to continue modeling I open the saved file and there turbosmooth is that I can't delete. I have been searching the solution for some time, tried scripts but…
