I agree, AME changed the way
I agree, AME changed the way bitmaps in the viewport are handled in max2008. I spent some time trying to fix it but it is beyond my scope. :(
This would be really handy
This would be really handy but this script doesn't seem to work in max 2010 x64 :(

Seems like something changed
Seems like something changed in max2008, something is funky with the render the rendered files are no longer rendering the volumetrics, just renders black no alpha.
Tried to fix it with no success, any help?
Best Regards,

This was brought this up at
This was brought this up at Afterworks forum in regards to volume preview in viewports, really as a feature for FumeFX but he also pointed out this script. So in the meantime (or if it is possible for them to add the feature) I did a very small (literally two lines of code) to Bobo's Volume Preview 034 script to get correct mapping in the viewports, Max8 and higher.
Thanks Bobo for such a cool script!
