3DSmax animation lag in viewport?
I have a pretty good PC, has 10GB ram etc Intel Core i7 2.80GHz 3.36GHz In max I have 3 viewport layout. 2 are wireframe and 1 camera view in standard shading. when I play a door animation (simple single motion)it lags in the camera issue.

Re: 3DSmax animation lag in viewport?
If you are using Max 2013 set the viewport to Shaded Materials With Maps. If you use Realistic Materials it will lag the viewport. -
Re: 3DSmax animation lag in viewport?
I just found this thread in search of help. The last answer really helped me. I want to add that in my case it was not the flex modifier but the cloth modifier that killed the playback speed.
