aggster Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm not sure if this post belongs here or in 3ds max http://forums.cgarchitect.com/67449-viewport-turn-black-vray-lights.html#post338001 Hi everyone. I have a problem with 3ds max 2010 64-bit and VRay 2.00.02. My grafic driver are Direct 3D 9.0 (Nvida Quadro 600). The problem is in the perspective viewport when I use Vray lights. It all turn black (as in no lights, only black and grey) when I for example hit ctrl+z or when I flip ctrl+w to maximize viewport. I can however use ctrl+l to switch on default lightning to see lights in my scen but that doesn't solv the problem. When the perspective viewport is black (after hiting ctrl+z, even if the ctrl+z doesn't have anything to do with the lightning) I can click in the perspective viewport and that makes it go back to normal vray lightning. But I have to click in the viewport every single time to make it work. Any suggestions? This problem doesn't affect my renderings - that part works fine! I'm not sure if this problem are caused by 3ds, vray or my grafic driver. But my suggestions are on vray. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Berntsen Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Is it happening only when the realistic option in your viewport is active? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggster Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Is it happening only when the realistic option in your viewport is active? By realistic, do you mean Smooth+Highlight? If so, yes I only get the problem in realistic perspective viewport. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Berntsen Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sounds like a driver issue. From time to time, such strangeness happens me too, but it's fixed by eighter restarting max or rebooting the workstation. So if you've done that, I don't have any more ideas right now...

Yes I've tried that and that help for the moment. But I can't really work with that I've read that this kind of problems (viewport) has been fixed in 3ds max 2012. Does anyone know about that?

salvador Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You could try re-setting max to defaults. Also in viewport config. try to disable anything unnecessary and light viewports with default lights for all viewports. Hope it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
