Change the model display

Mudbox can display polygon models in the 3D View as follows:

- Smooth Shade (default)
- Faceted Shading - Smooth shade turned off.
- Flat Lighting
- Wireframe

Set the display mode for a model

Do one of the following:

- From the main menu, select Display and choose Flat Lighting or Wireframe. (When either of these modes is not selected, the default display is Smooth Shade). Alternately, you can press the W key to display in wireframe mode.
  Note Wireframe display mode can increase the time to refresh the 3D View during interactive operations (sculpt, track, dolly, tumble, and so on) as the subdivision level on the model is increased.
- To display models in the 3D View as faceted polygon shapes, select Display and turn off Smooth Shade.
- Right-click in an empty area of the 3D View and select Flat Lighting, Smooth Shade, or Wireframe from the menu that appears.
