Derek Forreal Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 i'm surprised nobody here has mentioned this yet: http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_ken/blog_detail/announcement_3ds_max_design_2010/ and http://area.autodesk.com/index.php/blogs_shane/blog_detail/100_new_modeling_features/ i remember a post in the Max Wishlist here asking for Polyboost to be integrated - well, it has been! i hope some of the other modelling wishes (incl. mine!) are in there too. looking like a formidable release...

mattclinch Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 so long as they sort out the issue of rendering with mental ray completely locking your system up regardless of processor affinity i'm not too fussed about this new feature list. some of the new mental ray features look interesting, but thats about it.

Lester_Masterson Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The only thing I am against is the need to decide which version to commit to, before the features of both versions are compared. Does anyone else think that Autodesk is planning a bi-annual major upgrade and an annual minor fix schedule? MAX Design gets all the candy this year, and MAX (Entertainment) will get all the bling next year? If so, there will be virtually no need to upgrade versions every year once you have committed to one flavour or the other. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Twyman Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I was a bit worried about committing to one, I believe you can change versions if you are on subscription though (I think I read that in small print somewhere?) . I still do not see the point in having the two different versions though, if the differences are going to stay as minimal as they are. Surely they must be planning to make the changes more substantial at some point otherwise why have they done it? I know the default interfaces have workflow differences etc. but isn’t that what the custom defaults switcher is for? As for saying that they come with different tutorials and help files that is not a reason to have two versions. The only other logical thing I can think of is because the Leed qualification requires that the sdk cannot be accessed. Does anyone know about this?
