Is there anyway I can do this is 3DS Max 6 ?


Thanks alot for your help.

i first thought it would be possible by making a blend material, and smoothly blending from wireframe to textured material, but max wont allow that, so:

Here is a way to do it: make 2 copies of your objects - one textured and one wireframe. Then animate the visibility of the objects so that the textured ones fade in.

If you want a more detailed description on how to do it - just ask.
