Can anyone else confirm that glass (or indeed any transparent material) displays as solid black in 3ds max viewports?

workaround is to make all glass objects "see-through" but it's not ideal...

running MW2, 3ds max design 2010, geforce 8800GT with latest drivers, win vista home pro 64-bit.

cheers,

Yes, transparency isn't implemented in viewport display but we're working to bring it alive.

thanks for confirming. it's quite a big deal for arch-viz types like me, as we rely on good viewport accuracy when adjusting exposure etc to save time.

thanks,
