That green ball shouldn't be there if you turn off "Zoom About Mouse Point" (for both perspective and orthographic views, from "Customize - Customize User Interface - Mouse"). It's distracting. And why green? It's garish and ugly. Doesn't even fit with the new turquoise "look".
I would also like an option to hide/disable that green thing, for performances reasons. When you work with very high poly models from zbrush or mudbox, that green thing cause a little lag everytime you zoom, because max needs a few milliseconds to place it on the surface you are zooming.
I don't have that lag with the mousewheel zoom, nor in previous versions (like 2016). It is pretty disturbing because otherwise the viewport is at constant 200 fps, and that lag becomes really eye tiring after a while.
Would like an option to disable/enable this. I could see liking it if i had a very large scene for a 3d illustration where I need to just navigate about to spots. But I mostly use 3dsmax for game character work. This means I can be in close on a characters face and sometimes while team is looking over shoulder giving critique. I prefer to have as litlte distraction as possible while I check angles of the model.
In general more and more I want to just see the art of a character and check look and proportions and surfacing. My worry is the sphere can be distracting to this process. Imagine zooming in very close on a face where your Lead artist is talking about the details of a humans eye and having you navigate around to see if the sides of the eye is pushed too far back or if the eye is too wide etc... having the green sphere popping up will be distracting.
Here's hoping there will be a checkbox to disable it in a future service pack.
I don't know who thought it was a good idea to add it in the first place...
Maybe there's a reason why other programs don't have anything as "innovative" as this. If you take a look at ZBrush or Substance Painter, they also have this "zoom in where your mouse cursor is", but they don't show you a placeholder green friggen ball!
There doesn't seem to be a way to turn this off in 2018 either, is there an option somewhere, I would really like to remove this green ball from the interface every time I zoom in or out, it is very distracting.
