The Annoying Red Square appearing in 3Ds Max!

No, this is not an announcement for a forthcoming blockbuster movie in which relatives of the infamous Annoying Orange will star.

This blog post is about an irritating red box problem that I’ve had since this afternoon……no wait….that sounds wrong…..

See….I downloaded 3Ds Max today and this ‘red box’ has been appearing in Perspective view and wrecking my head.

3ds Max Red Square

It took me ages and ages of scouring the internet before I finally (thanks be to God) came across this post on the Autodesk.com forums, from which I’ve extracted Thaver’s reply below:

He says ”

it seams there is an easy fix, i had the same problem with an ati hd 4650

all you need to do is go to viewport configuration

go to display performance tab

uncheck improve quality progressibly”

I did what Thaver suggested, and it works!

Yee Haa!!

And now I’m posting the solution to the problem here, hoping that all the keywords I’ve used are going to help the next poor fecker find the answer a lot easier.
