mahmoudnahmad 1,159 posts30 Jul 2006i dont know but i asked a pro person who works with both programs and he said its not two completly diff worlds its just that maya is better for larger projects and better when it comes to team development than max but max is a very good tool on its own and can be a very wide development envirment but probably wont be like pixar or anything unlike maya pixar projects can be simulated on maya that wat he told me so dont blame me if hes wrong
by the way do you know when is the release date for the new max and try to help each other figer out if its gonna be 64bit as you said i doubt it but if it is i already have a 64 amd athlone will kick ass would also by the new 64bit amd's if it did come out to be 64bit
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR RESEARCH hope to hear from you guys soon -

Toni 65 posts01 Aug 2006From what i've heard about CS3 its non-destructive filters (but that was a rumor even back when 7 came out) another thing is that it's suposed to be optimized and it runs as 'fast' as ps7/illu 8 would on the same computer.
Certainly hope so, sad thing is that we've just bought a whole lot of CS2 liscenses and we're not allowed to upgrad untill late 2009

01 Aug 2006wow that sux toni, lots can happen in 3 years :]
-

02 Aug 2006holy crap, that mental ray video rocks! they've made it usable finally!! no more cryptic weird alien language names for adjustments, now we finally have "speckle reduction"! seriously, the mental ray overhauls look pretty sweet, as does the viewport speed. automatic sky BG's, super fast and easy reflections and final gather, and how can you not be thrilled about that "rounded edges" check box!
but, i do agree, while these are GREAT fixes and little things, i was hoping for a little something extra for a full point release. Fluids, maybe. even blender has a fluid simulator built in.
but, hell, who am i to judge them. i can't even type an after effects expression, let alone figure out how to program a fluid simulation.
i'll make do with whatever they put out, forever. i love Max. -
g3org3 355 posts02 Aug 2006I agree hype Mental Ray looks freaking sweet now. I will definately have to try it out. That Sky BG's are amazing and the final gather map is awesome.
Its also good that they have quality presets on things like FG etc for people who are just learning to use it.
The amount of polygon's it can handle is a good thing, although I never do 3d work anymore.
I know it is 64 bit but does anyone know if it has dual-core support yet? -
03 Aug 2006Yeah I have to agree guys, that Mental Ray video looked sweet! I hope they've done something good to Maya this time around - im off to check now.

29 Aug 2006Any ideas when it'll be available for sale?

29 Aug 2006the only big chagne i read in 3ds max 9 is the booleans are getting a long over-due fixing up.
-
g3org3 355 posts30 Aug 2006That is true Ben, but Autodesk didn't fix it. If I recall correctly they are adding Power-booleans to it.
-
30 Aug 2006Here we go again another update (I hate the 1 year update thing)
I use to be trill everytime a new max came out, then I bought it, now I'm never trilled (hurts the budget when I update)
I still use 7.1 and happy with it (before that I was on 4.2 but free character studio made me update) probably will update for version 10, OOHHH! a penny on the floor, putting it in my max 10 funds. -
30 Aug 2006WHAT WHERE WHO WHEN!?!??!??!?!
WHAT THE HELL IS 3DS 9
i was just on vacation im back and there is the hell goin on
-
Bardur 78 posts08 Sep 2006yeah... 3D Max 9 DEFENETLY looks promesing
i just started a course called 3D designe & Animation at Noroff in norway
and we'll be getting Max 9 as soon as its out
And i also just bought a Alienware Aurora m9700 to use Max 9 on (64Bit, SLI.... everything)
Hair looks AWSOMe... now you can render hair with every light.. and manipulate in the viewport
But for me the SPEED is the biggest update!
i mean... just look at it! has Max EVER been that fast... nope
And here are the Feature Videos..

), but besides that maya8, combustion........ etc. Even a presentation from Peter Mitev, director of Chaos Software and he'll be demonstrating the new features in Vray ( > 1.5??)
