Visualizing Animated Shaders

You can visualize the animation of animated shaders, for example, UVRotator (Hw Shader Nodes Textures UV Rotator) in the ShaderFX editor.

1. Click the Render Swatch icon so that either the small or larger render swatch is displayed.
2. Choose Settings menu Play Animated Shaders to visualize the animation for the animated shader and its downstream nodes.

Tip: You can also click (Play) in the 3ds Max playback controls to visualize the animation in viewports.
