Known Problems and Limitations inAutodesk 3ds Max 2010
Biped

· Biped finger animation is not correctly retained when you import or export to Autodesk® FBX® using the included Autodesk FBX 2009.4 Plug-in. This has been fixed with the Autodesk FBX 2010.0 Plug-in, available on http://www.autodesk.com/fbx.
Bitmap Pager

· In 3ds Max 2010, we have enabled the bitmap pager by default to make possible the rendering of large images.However, the side-effect of this is that scenes that contain multiple large textures (approximately 2k x 2k and larger) will possibly cause a rendering slowdown in 3ds Max 2010.
The bitmap pager can be disabled through MAXScript by entering the following command into the MAXScript listener: ibitmappager.enabled = false.

This change takes effect when you save and reload the scene. The settingis saved with the scene, so the bitmap pager can be disabled on a scene-by-scene basis.

Cloth

· When you have two or more Cloth objects in a scene, some problems can occur. First, turning on Selected Objects rollout > Force UNC Path can cause 3ds Max to crash. Second, setting the Selected Objects rollout > cache path field for one object causes the other Cloth objects to use the same path,whether it is appropriate, or not. As a workaround, apply the Cloth modifier to only one object in the scene. Add other objects to the Cloth simulation by using the Add Objects button in the Cloth modifier Object Properties dialog.
Container

· Ungrouping a Container removes nodes from the Container. It is not recommended to Group content for Containers as this is a limitation of the...
