Incorrect Hardware Shade results when using Alias on Mac OS
Issue
When you use Hardware Shade in Autodesk Alias on the Mac OS, some surfaces appear to be black or gray, as if their normals were reversed, even though the normals are correct.
Solution
This is a known issue that affects FX4500 and GeForce7300 graphics cards on the Mac OS.
At this time, there is no resolution. The Autodesk Product Support Team has logged a case with Apple and is waiting for an update.
