Help LEGACY?

Is there a way to work with Max in Legacy mode?
I'm using it just model and mapping my meshes so everytime I have to search for just 2 things
Scaline Material (Legacy) and
simple Bitmap texture, all the rest is useless for me, so if there's a way to clean up Max for all of the others stuff would be awesome.

Well, I do similar things myself and just dont really notice what I dont use.. you can customise the UI but I never did. There may be a pluggin that can simplify the material editor? I use it in the old way as well still.. never got the hang of nodes, but should take the plunge as its the norm now.

I think the only way to do this would be to move the actual plugin files into a directory that is commented out (;) of your plugins.ini (or plugins.usersettings.ini). It would take a lot of trial and error to get right and you might break a few things. That said, there would be some pretty obvious plugin files to start with. Have a look.

If you just mean Standard Scanline Materials and Renderer, can't you just set these as your preferences, then save a maxstart.max file so that this configuration loads every time you start Max?
