Max viewport - set default to "shaded"

[Morne]

Hi all

Is there a way to set the default mode for viewport to shading mode? Everytime I restart max, it's back to "realistic"

HI Morné,

Have you tried tweaking your maxstart ?

[Morne]

It's not something that gets saved within the max file. I'm hoping it's a setting that is exposed via ini or maxscript

[NicoC]

Oh ok, I wasn't aware of this

Yeah, the realistic shade is never good with vray..

[Morne]

Weird, I restarted the pc, and now suddenly this is working (saves in the max file)

[NicoC]

Yeah, the realistic shade is never good with vray..

Hi Fernando,

Could you please develop a bit ?

Hi there, I meant that the realistic Rendering Level of the Viewport in real time is not that good as in Shaded Mode.. And most times I find the Orthographic mode way more precise to model..
Nothing too important, just to justify Morne decition to use shade mode over the Realistic default one.. capiche?

Ah yes, I understand. However, I tend to use Realistic mode quite often to place lights, so ...
