Batzal Software Roof Designer Plug-in for 3DS Max enables you to create high quality roofs in seconds. It lets you model, texture and cover your roof with mesh tiles with ease and keeps your roof parametric so any changes to the roof plans will not require more than a few mouse clicks to update. Batzal Software Roof Designer is extremely cost effective and should return its price even during its first use! Version 1.45 includes 3DS Max 2011 support and new options for treating tiles intersected by the roof edges: cut and cap and remove. Visit our website: http://www.batzal.com and try it for free. If you have a blog and would like to review our plug-in, post a response and we might provide you with a full working copy of Roof Designer.

currently it's best done in post beacuse you have no other option Lets say you are working on a low budget medical presentation and you wish to hide body parts then hide parts of the medical device and then animate it with transparency. (Of course, everything is done from several angles.) Currently you will have to render 3 passes with possibly some masks for each shot, then compose them. Shadows and reflections are an additional headache. OR, you can animate the transparency straight in 3d and just render

You are all very welcome to take look on our new Ghost shader. The Ghost shader adds transparency to whole 3D objects or particle effects instead of adding transparency to their surfaces and revealing all of the objects inside and changing their appearance. It doesn't require queuing render passes, setting ups masks and composition and saves a lot of your valuable time.

Thank you, Batzal Software

hmm, thats wierd... a possibe solution is to download the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package which can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=200B2FD9-AE1A-4A14-984D-389C36F85647&displaylang=en maybe you havn't downloaded the 32bit version (it should match your max version)

Our gamma testing program is almost full. I guess I can squeeze you both in... contact us through the contact form on the site... please send your hardware lock number which can be found in both the max's about dialog and the plugin's activation dialog... Thank you for the response...

hi some examples can be found in the showcase section of our site... soon there will also be a video tutorial...
