display when you finish zooming. The settings on the Adaptive Degradation
panel
on page 7622 of the Viewport Configuration dialog control how adaptive
degradation occurs.
When Adaptive Degradation is off, viewports retain their display settings at
all times, but operations such as zooming or animation playback cause a slow
screen refresh rate. In this state, animation playback might have to drop frames
to keep up with real-time playback.
You can set the parameters that control the trade-off between display quality
and display speed. The levels you activate determine which rendering levels
the software falls back to when it cannot maintain the desired display speed.
You can choose as many levels as you want, but for best results choose only
one or two levels.
Additive Opacity
An additive process adds two values together, such as two colors. When you
add colors in 3ds Max, the result is brighter than either of the two original
colors.
