This script automatically changes the viewport settings to the best possible quality. If you happen to use 3ds Max 2010, you will also notice that some unsupported/hidden features have been activated, like real-time indirect lighting.

Put the file in your startup folder.

Version Requirement: 
3ds Max 2008, 3ds Max 2009, 3ds Max 2010
