2 ways to increase your blueprint quality in 3DS Max

Hi again. In this article I will show you 2 ways to raise the quality of your blueprints in 3ds max

 I will start with the first one. First step is to opne your scene and go to “Customize” then choose “Preferences”. A window like below should appear :

Now, in the viewport tab, press on the “Choose Driver” button and be sure that you have these settings. If you have dx10 I would recommend to use dx9. For 3DS Max its better. If you will use dx10 you will see some strange triangles on the mesh.

Then click on the “ok” button. You will receive a message that you need to restart 3ds max. Now press on the “configure driver” button and put these values :

If you will have some higher values , put them but don’t forget to check the little boxes. Then save your scene and restart 3DS Max and voila, the blueprint have a better quality.
The second way is faster . You need to place your blueprints in your scene then go to Views > Show Materials in Viewport As > Hardware Display with Maps

And the blueprints should change instantly without restarting 3DS Max. I hope that this tutorial helped you and if you have any questions or problems please ask on the forum. Don’t forget to press the like button and leave a comment.
