Brandoom, I had the exact same problem :) But it sucks to tell you that Max 9 is not the same as 2009. Max 9 was created some ... er, 2 years ago or something like that. 2009 is the most stable right now but in time the new 2010 version will become the best (it has quite alot of bugs I assume from threads here)
Hey guys, Just a quick question about background images. I want to use a nice high res image for modeling reference, but once I bring it into 3dsm as a viewport background the image turns to crap. I tried an plane with a material applied to it with no better results. Is there anyway to keep the image nice and sharp?
