UV Editor Default Behaviour

[AirbornStudiosGmbH]

Hey guys,

just recently switched to the latest 3dsmax after using 2011 since... well forever

besides a few default behaviours that i could change, the UV editor drives me mad.

Is there a way to not replace the assigned Material with a default checker material on opening?

Just keep the applied material please, i have a bunch of pixel grid checker setups for various texture resolutions and always having to switch or reassigning materials is driving me crazy.

cheers

I've never found a way to have it open like that by default. Maybe someone knows a setting. This would be a good thing to list in the "Ideas" forum. Maybe it will get implemented.

For me UV editor at least picks the last selected texture when i open it again( tested in Max 2024 briefly

). Is this not the case for you ?

Did not test this between 3ds max sessions, so i guess this is only consistent in the same 3ds max session

Or did i misunderstand the problem description?

only within the session and only for an object its already setup. and only if you keep this modifier around. if you collapse. do things and open again, new modifier, settings are reset

if you have plenty of assets and work over various sessions you set this up again, and again, and again
