I recently switched to the Maya hotkey navigation in 3DS Max to have more consistency between applications.

mmm, well I've had lights breaking when trying to use the mats customize utility to setup a scene once or twice, if that could never happen that would be great, it used to also get "lost" behind that preview sphere (you could click) to put the light behind the object, which kind sucked the 1st few times.

Basically it should work just like 'hide unselected' but with the ability to toggle.

Here is an example of using the "Custom Code" node provided in ShaderFX to create a snow-layer effect. We measure the angle between the vertex normal and the world UP (or "snow direction" if you wish) and blend in the white color on top of the rock texture. We have a second custom code node that modifies the vertex…
