Tips and TricksUse IDirect3DStateBlock9 cautiously Max can ask an object to be drawn various times, and this canbe a resource hog.Do the actual drawing in the IDX9VerterShader::Initialize()methods Simplifies the multi material supportKeep DrawMeshStrips simple – just return True/FalseOnly support Mesh objects – keeps code simple. Use MNMesh::OutToTri()Use GetCOREInterface()->GetTime(), not TimeValue t = 0 Prevents unwanted evaluations of the modifier stackManage your resources, and RenderStates !! 3ds max is easy to upset – typically you loose the viewportnames or transparency settings.
