Presentation mode
3ds Max 2022 supports viewports in presentation mode, which means no borders, no title bar, no grid, no view-cube or gizmos are displayed. Two sets of methods allow you to set and query this mode:
virtual bool ViewExp22::IsInPresentationMode() const;
virtual void ViewExp22::SetInPresentationMode(bool onoff);
virtual bool IViewPanel::IsInPresentationMode() const; Bloom
Viewport bloom settings are accessible through the methods of class IViewportViewSettings2.
Support for customized material creation
The new IMaterialBrowserEntryInstanceCallback interface allows 3rd party developers to register a callback that gets executed when a user creates a material or texture through the material browser in the Schematic or Compact Material Editor. This callback is used, for example, in the Bitmap Texture (see the Max SDK samples) to launch a file chooser for the user to choose an image file directly.
Deprecated graphics drivers
Heidi and custom graphics drivers are no longer supported.
