Guess what everyone?

3D Studio Max 9 Trial is out!!!! and it's great!

Renders take seconds not minutes,
The viewport renders are about 300 fps, not 60 fps,
Faster load time.

It can be found here.

Well blender is an open source 3d modeling program and i would say its just as good as 3dsmax, just its more so about preference. For oblivion alot of the modders choose blender for models rather then 3dsmax. Blender can do alot of amazing things though.

Anyways , its good to see another version of 3dsmax out, i will be getting that as well.

Yeah, Blender is indeed a good program. I just haven't taken the time to get used to it, since it's so different from how 3dsmax works.

I already have the *cough* for it, made by the same one that does 3dsmax 8 and they all work Smile

.

Me and oblivion are trying to get the w3d tools to work with this, since it's saying that it can't find Max2w3d.dle.

Also, does anyone else get 5 errors at the start when they boot it up? Some thing like macros or something never took time to read what they meant.

Well, it takes longer to load for me, and render times are exactly the same. I don't know where you got the short render time idea from. It is mainly determined by the CPU speed.

I have recently tried 3D Studio Max and Icedog has been kind enough to show me how to make a basic model and render it. I find 3D Studio Max to be a very good tool.

3ds Max 9 beats all the other 3D modelling programs out there. It's not laggy like Maya or anything.

Blender is really good, and pretty much just as powerful as 3ds max. Unfortunately for me learning Blender is like switching my dominant hand.

Thought I'd pass this info on...

customise --> viewport configuration To change and display statistics of a scene or selected objects.

I feel it's a bit more user friendly and convenient than the polgon counter floater, try it Big Ups
