Autodesk 3ds Max 2009

Post by heero550 »

Loaded Vista on the Vbox. Installed 3ds Max with no issues. Ran it and everything is there except the view panels will not show any content. Did a few searches here and on Google with no luck. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

I'm getting the same using the trial of 3ds max 2009.

Host = Arch Linux x86_64
Guest = XP SP3
Virtualbox 3.0.6 (r52128)

Log & screenshot attached.

I found a ticket but it was assigned to a prior release & there's been no recent comments: http://www.virtualbox.de/ticket/3091

Got this to work for me and I had the same problem.

I'm running 3DSMax 2012, so the menus might not be the same but you basically have to go to your preferences->viewports. Change your driver to OpenGL.

Hardware: Macbook AIR
VirtualBox Version: 4.1.2
