Is it a DX shader? Does it get faster if you use "object color mode" instead of Materials? "is there something like view distance in max viewport to hide objects in more than specific distance? + my previous question!" No automatic mode that i know of. But you should really use simple materials for preview...i think that…
You can tell max to display objects as a simple color instead of the full shader, this will just display the object as what ever color the wire frame is with out having to assign a new shader to it. Command Panel>Display>"Shaded: Object color" Also, use Isolation mode... select the object your working with at that moment,…
yes that is dx shader. object color mode will be faster, but as I need to check latest results, I must use the shader and I don't think I change materials cuz I export models with these dx materials directly to the game engine. even with simple standard material, I do not get more than 7-8 fps rather than this. I'm trying…
@keres: cpu:9950 amd - 8600gts evga - 4gb RAM. @fletch and Jet_Pilot: my scene is currently layered and there is not much complex object to display them as box. even when I hide about 20k-30k tris, I get only 6-7 more FPS. also F3 works faster and easier than solid color but they are not the solution. isolate mode was…
Just out of curiosity, do you have lights? Maybe wanna turn that off if you do or assign them to specific objects instead of the entire scene. With all authoring tools a certain level of optimization and preparation is required when working with large scenes. You may have to work on that, separate your scene in to…
