Setting up an object for painting
The Canvas requires some setup before you can use it. The Viewport Canvas can be used on any object that
has mapping coordinates. Mapping coordinates are applied to a primitive object by enabling the Generate
Mapping Coordinates option in the Command Panel or by adding the UVW Mapping or UVW Unwrap
modifier to an object.
New Feature
The Viewport Canvas feature in the previous version of Max was allowed only on Editable Poly objects, but any
object can be painted with this new version. n
