GMAX

Foehammer

HELP! hey i've tried to download GMAX from turbosquid, but i cant seem to find where to get, for some reason the page is displayed all half assed, while up here at work, can anyone provide a direct link to the actual file for me to download, or is anyone else hosting it? i've googled and done everything i can think of to find it and download it to kill time while here at work

uhh...did you try the official site at discreet?

http://www4.discreet.com/gmax/

Foehammer

yeah i tried that also it tells me to go to turbo squid which i cant get it from

seems Discreet providing the download through turbosquid now.

http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

here's a direct link. works fine for me.

I also noticed on kub's link that Discreet is still showing a picture of UT2k3 as a gmax-ready title, as has for the past 2 years or more. the Gmax team needs to wake the hell up. down forget to grad the updated MD3 support from that chris guy, since Discreet was too busy to provide it themselves.

ah damn, cant get it, we have a web filter and it blocks game related links and that happens to be one of them, suck....thanks anyways

if you just want to doodle around at work, why notjust go grab wings3d? It will be at lot easier on your machine and not take near the time to download. Not to mention, you won't even have to register it. =]

yeah im messing with that now actually pretty cool little modeler, takes some getting used to, i just wanted gmax because i'm so used to max, wings3D is taking some getting used to but its cool! thanks!

Blender is worth mentioning too, if you don't like the work process of Wings3d

is the process similar to max? stupid question probably...

CheapAlert

No, Blender is completely different. Try it

Foehammer

thanks guys i appreciate it, i'll check blender out...

Why not try milkshape 3D, its a bit closer to max than 3D wings or Blender?

Because Milkshape is awful? Learning a different interface is loads easier than making good art with Milkshape.

Lets not try to taint him just yet. Let him get a feel for what he likes. I have seen some pretty good things come out of milkshape. I used it to make many a HL1 model and they didn't look like crap.

Just flew thru the milkshape forum and even the newbies are making some interesting stuff.

The moral of this story is:

Don't get use to Max.

I can't imagine the torture...

Blender > MS3D

Also, I was a MS3D user since 2000, and after I switched to blender, it was like a fresh breathe of air I CAN MODEL LOTS BETTER SUDDENLYS!
