Leaving notes in max

[Chris MacDonald]

With a piece of software as big as max, it seems logical to me that Autodesk would have provided a comments/notes function so that when you go back to old files, or your colleagues take over a project each file can store notes on where maps are, or why things were built the way they were, or which cameras to render from etc...

 

Is this possible at all?

There's a Pop-up note feature built-in, you just have to activate it via the user interface. Go to customize user interface and add the "Add a Pop-up Note" action to either a toolbar or menu to see if that will work for your needs.

 

There are also scripts you can download from places like scriptspot, etc. to do various note options. I'm not sure if those stay with the file like the Pop-up note option if the file is sent to someone without the script (I've never personally tried that).
