Moving show only bounding boxes

[Zerstoren_QC]

when i want to move the camera from where i am seeing the scene in 3ds max, it show only the bounding boxes and it's annoying. It was'nt doing that before.

here's a screen to understand

Hey thanx !!!!

When your scene has many polygons, you can use this feature to make your scene 'smoother' when moving/rotating/zooming.

Thanks :)

well, u know that the poly speed of 3ds max 9 can let u move a scene with more than 1.000.000 poly without any problams, try it, it's realy cool.^^

Yeah, 3ds max will surely endle it, but i don't know if my CPU will endle it (Atlhon 64 2.0 GhZ)

no problam, poly speed use lots of ram, not CPU.

Do you think i have enough ram (1.5 gig) ?

When its inside your viewport, it uses your graphic card. If you render (with software rendering) it uses your processor and RAM. So, if your viewport is slow when you have many polygons, that means your graphic card is not powerful to handle all the polygons smoothly. If you cannot render and you see insufficient RAM error message, that means your RAM is not enough for the renderer to render so much polygon. Usually this will not happen with MentalRay, but if you are using VRay (I'm using it for 3ds Max 8), you may get this easily when you have a heavy scene.

Thanks :)

That means i will have to upgrade some things on my PC because i have:

Athlon 64 2.0 ghz
1.5 gig
Asus GeForce 7600 GS 256 mb

it is slow when i get many poly (in the viewport) and, when i render, it is very long with v-ray. I think my graphic card and processor would need a little boost.
