3ds Max :: Toggle Viewport Box Mode In Nitrous?

Sep 7, 2011

I've been running into a frustrating limitation with certain keyboard shotcuts for Nitrous display modes. For example, if I try to use my old 2011 shortcut for "Viewport Box Mode Toggle", the bounding box displays on TOP of the current shaded/wire mode instead of toggling. If I change the assignment to the new Nitrous command "Viewport Visual Style Bounding Box", it is no longer a TOGGLE key and to go back I must then use the key assigned to "Viewport Visual Style Wireframes/Shaded" (or classic "Wireframe/Smooth+Highlights Toggle")...

BUT...

In Nitrous both of these wire/shaded toggle commands do not work properly if you are changing from another display type (such as box). Instead of toggling between wire/shaded, they toggle between wire and the last display mode. So in essence there is no way to toggle between Box and Shaded without r-clicking on the viewport label every time you want to return to shaded mode as far as I can tell. Not being able to quickly toggle Box mode really screws up my work flow, so for now I'm reverting back to DirectX.

3ds Max :: Nitrous - Grab Viewport Quality

Jun 16, 2011

how can you adjust the "Grab Viewport" -Animation Quality for Nitrous?

Rendering any one of the styles in Animation produces horrific quality, because the viewport renderer does not spend the few extra seconds necessary to generate nice antialiased image-quality.

there is no way to adjust the rendertime. Because this would make this valuable improvement 50% useless again, if you can not use it decently for this purpose.

3ds Max :: Flat Shading In Nitrous Viewport?

May 9, 2012

I can see flat shading with direct 3d, but not on nitrous. it's unavailable on nitrous? it's a shame because flat is very good to see hue variations on textures and stuff like that.

3ds Max :: Shape Merge In Viewport Not Working With Nitrous

Apr 30, 2011

the shape merge function (using cookie cutter) is not updating in the viewports when using nitrous? I am making a compound object using shape merge. I select a sphere (editiable poly), pick the shape (spline) and then press cookie cutter, and the vieport does not update. I have display result and update always on. Trid invert, etcetera. I cannot see the cutout portion in the viewport. When I render, the cutout portion is viewable.

3ds Max :: Nitrous - Show Shaded Material In Viewport

Oct 24, 2012

I was using 3ds Max 2013 without any service packs installed and my bitmap resolution on screen looked great. I have updated to service pack 5 and now the resolution looks low quality. I have to use large maps for my scenes example 12345 x 4610 px.

I have not changed the driver (Nitrous), under Display Performance I have Improve Quality Progressively and the Procedural Maps Display Resolution at 4096 pixels, and progressive display is on.

From what I've read "By default, Nitrous viewports load texture bitmaps at their full size."

How can I get the high resolution bitmap back? Is there a setting that I have missed?

3ds Max :: Nitrous Transparency Realistic Mode

May 17, 2012

Is there a way NOT to improve the transparency in nitrous in realistic mode ? I really dislike the "noisy" display when moving around objects.

I know i can unselect the progressive refinement, but then the image stays noisy. I would like the transparency just to be as clean and fast as in the "shaded" mode.

3ds Max :: How To Select Objects In Nitrous Display Mode

Feb 9, 2012

I have a horrible lag when trying to select objects in Nitrous display mode. When my FPS drop and navigation starts to lag, marquee selection also starts to lag proportionally to the FPS. If I draw a rectangle to select some objects, I have to wait about 3-4 seconds for the rectangular marquee to expand and reach my mouse cursor on more complex scenes. There's no such problems in Direct3D display mode. Even if the FPS drop to 1-2, selection remains lightning fast.

3ds Max :: Shaded Mode In Nitrous Using Scene Lights

Feb 28, 2013

Is there any way to force "shaded" mode in Nitrous to use scene lights and not default lights? We are doing tons of previs and when using "realistic mode" all of the grain and such with transparency, etc looks just awful. Shaded mode is SO much cleaner and faster, but under Nitrous it can no longer use scene lights to shade your objects. Under realistic mode you can turn shadows and AO off, but any transparency does the refinement process and never ends up looking totally clean.

Under shaded mode, transparency looks GREAT and is way faster. If there was only a way to enable scene lights instead of default lights it would be just like the old pre-nitrous days.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotation Scale Option Is Displayed Only In Model And Viewport Mode But Not In Layout Mode

Mar 14, 2013

“annotation scale” on the lay out mode,

I’m not sure about the current “annotation scale” in case of lay out mode.

Annotation scale option is displayed only in the model and viewport mode but not in the lay out mode (attached)!

Based on what annotative objects living on the lay out but neither in the model (or viewport) are re-sized? At this mode, there is no option to choose the annotation scale?

On other words, how to choose the annotation scale in the lay out mode?

3ds Max :: Toggle Poly Mode On / Off Disabled

May 21, 2012

When in vertex, edge or poly mode, usually I was able to switch between them by pressing number 1,2,3,4,5. What also was useful, is if for instance I press the same number twice, then I would exit the sub mode. This was very useful. Now in this version this option is disabled by default, similar to the zoom extense all, but I was able to changed this in the UI settings.

3ds Max :: How Or Where To Configure (Software) Viewport Graphic Mode

Jul 1, 2012

how or where to configure the 'Software' viewport graphic mode? Actually I'd like to change the texture map size, at least. In Max preferences, the only think I can change is "Download map size", what is it about, but obviously it's not the map size in viewport.

The reason why I need this is very bad texture quality in the viewports..

3ds Max :: Viewport Background Won't Display In Wireframe Mode

Jun 10, 2011

after loading the background image in the usual way you do its visible in all modes except when you switch to wireframe, which is the most likely time when you do want to see it. Maybe something to do with the nitrous viewport thingy, dont know?. Running a 64 bit os on a quad core system with 12 gb of ram and an invidia quadro 3800 card. Like to say that the nirous viewer is a great improvement for viewport accuracy , only seems to work with four lights though?
