User Interface

UserInterface

UVReactor User Interface has been designed to match the same look and feel as 3ds max, giving the user a native plug-in feeling. The entire UI has the following features.

Main UI


Dockability

The window uses the QT framework for maximum compatibility. Thanks to this you can switch between stand-alone and dockable window styles. Using the docked mode, you can attach the UI to any of the docking areas on the 3ds max interface.
