   After some talking on IRC with a few of the folk, I thought this may be a good idea for a sticky thread, even though this place is getting a little cluttered with them. We see a lot of the same question day in and day out that require a simple answer and do not require a whole thread for them. Example: "What happened to my…

   I know you guys aren't very render-centric, but neither am I.. suddenly I'm needing to render something and it's really getting to me.. In 3DSmax 2009 I have an unwrapped model.

   I may be reaching here, but there should be an option under Viewport Configuration to show only statistics for selected objects in the active viewport.

   Q: In 3dsmax 2008, my viewport displays smooth faces even though I have it set to faceted; the only apparent way to fix it is to select it. A: Go to: Customize - Preferences Settings - Viewports - Configure Driver. At the top, deselect "Use cached DX3dmeshes" After selecting your mesh, in faceted mode, the problem should…
