"a new subobject previewing workflow that lets you preview and select subobjects in one fluid motion and switch between subobject modes in the viewport."
Nice of them to include this bit of innovation in a handy little radio button.
yeah... dont get me wrong.. but i was laughing while watched the vids.
seems that autodesk was traped in a portal until now.. seriously.. all the new stuff they are adding has been part of many apps for years now. i mean, that stuff should already existed in max 7 or 8.
auto selecting edges or verts or polys? wow. how unbelievably innovated of them.
for me xsi is the only app that manages to add more stuff every release they make.

I have to agree, that didnt really get me excited at all. Maybe in practice the program will "run" a lot better with complicated scenes as they say it will and that'll be nice.
I figured this would have been a good time for a code rebuild. 10th iteration, fresh start. But nope. We get the same shitty codebase, rehashed with old "new" features. I love my Max, but come on, Autodesk.
Edit mesh is a huge lump in the app's throat, not to mention that the serious code side issues will more than likely still exist (file bloating, etc). Bah.
Vassago, I don't think a rewrite is gonna happen anytime soon, given the financial stresses over there. The release sched is a real killer, probably also the Adesk corporate culture.
I wonder how much percentage of "income" the non-game/entertainment users of 3dsmax have. Given that all feature videos were presented on architecture and other classic autodesk domains, maybe they really have so much more say...
Again, I am dissatisfied, they should show more on rendering much much more complicated materials and perhaps built in rendering capabilities from final render instead of having us doing it ourselves...

I was just dissing the videos. Max08 as a release is looking very good indeed.
Wow that's dismissive, Vig. Maybe because it doesn't happen to you, everyone else should just stfu no?. I have no idea what would classify as a "crack ass" browser anyway, that would be some weirdass thing I never heard of for sure.

I'll rephrase the question so as not to offend your delicate sensibilities...
"Dear good sir Per of whom which I admire,
I became dismayed after reading your post about the omnivorous activity of your internet browser. I was left in a quandary as to which internet browser you use and how such an event could happen? I personally have an affinity for FireFox, a product by a company named "Mozilla". In my previous internet communique, I have also encountered the persnickety botheration you have expressed. I am able to resolve said problem by clicking back and refreshing the page. Please do not hesitate to get back in touch with me in case these steps do not resolve the issue for you?"
Much love per, flame if you must just know what I said wasn't meant as an attack =P
It seems Per has always had anger/sensitivity management issues. It's ok Per, we still kind of love you, ish.

As for Mayax08... lick my phallus, Autodesk. I can't figure out why their software is the top in the industry. I mean look at their shit--nothing new and their old stuff is slow, bloated, with an incomprehensible (ie nonsensical) ui slapped on top! ARRRRRR >:(
[/rant]
Alright, I need to calm down and let go. But every time someone mentions the word "autodesk" I just want to punch babies. Ugh...
Yeah, I use Max all the time for making collision models and exporting. Modo+headusUV+crazybump+xnormal for everything else. I'm pretty happy with my workflow, sans Max :P
Well, for a max evangelist and modelling expert I gotta confess that I am really in what they have shown for this release so far.
The multiselect option should really be a global mode, rather than having to check it on in each edit poly object. Like the polygon cage colors and so forth, it gets really tiring having to constantly run scripts to tame them if you dont A: want them on, B: want then sickening orange.
The working pivot idea really doesnt add anything we dont already use- drop an object (I use teapots) where you want your pivot, select it and choose 'pick' from the coordinate system. You can set up a hotkey to toggle between this and remember your last coordinate system. Set this to a script and boom. A pivot that you dont have to set for multiple objects- you can animate and use surface snapping tools on.
The multiple UVWunwrap stuff is just a bug fix. I bet they still havent allowed you to use the standard selection mode tools in the UVwunwrap editor such as lasso.
personally I'd like to see more of max's unwrapping tools move their way into maya - pelt mapping for instance. Never realised how much i relied on it till I couldn't use it anymore
i've heard from a good source that Autodesk's plan is for Max to be tailored for architectural rendering and Maya will be the entertainment modeling/animation package...anyone else hear this?
Replies
I would have liked to see more about Maya that didn't involve Ncloth Ncloth Ncloth. Hump something else will ya?

It is lame. Even with firefox, I have to refresh the page again.
