Has anyone looked in to this version yet? I have been reading some of the Autodesk snypits about it but thought i would ask you guys if you have messed with it.
I’ve messed about with it - it’s pretty solid. The modeling ribbon is nice, but I’d imagine truly serious modelers have a crazy custom setup or hotkeys already. For me, it’s nice to get away from scrolling up and down the modifier panel.
The MaxScript additions are pretty nice, and the new Quadify Mesh modifier is nice. We now have an Assert() function, and there’s another function to get the line number of the MaxScript source file that it’s being called from.
You can add scope to Structs now, they’ve added private and public members - pretty cool, especially if you’re used to C# and .Net – and on that note, they added a method to easily convert MaxScript values and DotNet values back and forth – and it supports arrays!!!
They added a cool mesh diagnostic utility called xView that will let you visualize mesh errors in the viewport, and best of all – you can write your own xView filters in MaxScript! I have big plans for that! They have a 4 part tutorial to show you how to do it; very happy about that.
They added Containers, which seem really nice - you can put part of your scene in a Container, and when you “Close” the container it externalizes the data, and someone else can use it. It seems to overlap the XRef functionality a lot, but it seems slicker.
They have a new alternative to MultiRes called ProOptimizer. I haven’t taken it through it’s paces yet, but another TA here has, and he says it’s pretty nice. It has some special settings to preserve vertex colors, but he experienced some instability when doing that.
Lots of new Particle Flow stuff - if that’s your thing, you’ll be happy. I haven’t gotten into it yet, so I can’t say how awesome or not it is.
That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head - I haven’t had time to really test Containers yet, and there’s a handful of other things they added that I can’t remember right now. It was a pretty good update, IMO.

Well that all sounds promising.
Error line numbers will certainly make things a bit easier. Hope fully the containers will avoid the bloating caused in 2008 with large file referencing.
We will be getting our copies late today\ tomorrow cant wait to dig in there and see whats happening.
I was optimistic until I tried out the viewport canvas tool.
Create a box, collapse it to an editable mesh, stick a material on it, assign a bitmap to the diffuse slot but don’t actually pick a bitmap. Paint on the surface and then right click to finish the stroke and crash. It takes out the viewports on my machine.
Turns out it’s a max script. There’s also a ton of globals at the top which seems “un-necessary” :):

Sounds like a nice feature! :nod:
男士们假如你只能有一件男装上衣，那便只能是衬衫了。[b]CHEAP JORDANS[/b]配了领带可以去上班，敞开扣子可以去郊游。当然，没有哪个男人只有一件衬衫，可要把普普通通的衬衫穿得精彩并不容易。男人们虽说同衬衫打交道频繁，但能头头是道地讲出衬衫名堂的恐怕不多。[b]JORDAN SHOES[/b][b]WHOLESALE T SHIRTS[/b]衬衫种类繁多，无论是正规场合的西服还是度假时的休闲服搭配，处处离不开衬衫。何种场合穿何种衬衫，如何穿法，给人的印象全然不同。了解衬衫的质地、挑选法、穿着法以及与领带的搭配法，更是现代男子必知的基本常识。 衬衫的质地、挑选法、穿着法有以下几点： 衬衫 异色领——品位型白领子的素色或条纹衬衫，有的袖口也做成白色，领型多为标准领或敞角领，领尖形状也颇多，通常为圆形，与佩兹利涡漩纹般配无比。[b]WHOLESALE JORDANS[/b]选择异色领的男士，在搭配上一定要注意协调，否则一不留神就会被归为“没品位”一类。 敞角领——浪漫型左右领子的角度在120度—180度之间的领子。[b]REPLICA WATCHES[/b]这一领型又称“温莎”领或“法式”领。据说当年“不爱江山爱美人”的温莎公爵最喜爱这种领子，与此相配的领带领结称“温莎领带”，领结宽阔。新世纪浪漫风潮的回归，温莎领再度流行，但与之相配的领带流行稍小的“准温莎结”，于复古中反映近年来精致的现代思潮。
