Hi,

 

It looks like you are in wireframe mode which does not display any materials - press F3 again to get back default shading mode - or click on "[wireframe]" in top left of viewport and select one of the other options.

 

This video may help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1atceGFdNo

 

Post back if you continue to have trouble.

Hi,

 

Sorry I don't understand  - can you upload a simple scene that illustrates the issue?

 

Thanks

Okay - let's see if it's going to be easy - maybe you are in X-ray mode. Try pressing alt+x and see if that helps. If not it could be a graphics driver issue. What graphics card and driver are you using?

Seems like it may be a graphic driver issue - I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help with that - hopefully someone else can jump in. Sorry I can't be more help with this. 😞

Accepted solution

Try changing your display driver.

Use a direct3D 9 or one of the Legacy drivers to see if it changes anything

You can also get to this by going to Customize, Preferences, viewports, Choose Driver.

No necesitas ir al extremo de formatear la pc , por que no es de la pc ni la grafica, si no del mismo 3d max el error, por lo cual basta con borrar el archivo  de 3dsmax.ini  alojado en la ruta de  disco local C/ usuario/ appdata/ local/ autodesk /3dmax "version" /  y ahi abajo esta el archivo que te dijo con terminacion . ini al borrarlo y al abrir 3ds max se iniciara como si lo abrieras por primera vez ..
