Scripted materials in Max 9 ?
Anyone using custom material scripts in Max 9? We're getting bizarre "bad allocation" errors with param blocks, and it seems to be coming from deep inside Max's code.

Sketchbook: Bigphun

No i am not one of those… -
Re: Maya or Max
...if only Autodesk would combine them both to make one software package. I prefer Maya because it was what I was taught in College, but 3DS Max has really efficient modeling tools, and it seems modifiers are just a click away, whereas Maya you need to dig a little if you don't already have a shortcuts or a shelf created… -
