1. Viewport updates for Normals and Diffuse.

   

   Topic by HausFly · Feb 2009 · Home› Technical Talk

   Does anyone know a way in Max to show both the normal map and diffuse map in the viewport, and have them update automatically after you save out new versions from Photoshop. I can get both to show up using the DirectX shader (pink cube), but they don't update if changes are made. I'm using Max 2009.

   you sometimes have to uncheck and check or go back to the top of the material tree for it to update

   I played around with it a bit more and got it to work by loading a new DirectX Shader. Max 2009 doesn't seem to like the older method of turning on the "Show Hardware Map in Viewport" for Standard materials.

   does work just fine here with any custom dx shader, like ben clowards 3point lighting normalmap shader
