Yeah, Max 2008's viewport performance is about 10x faster than 8/9 (not just marketing blurb, it's actually true) - I did some tests on Max 2008 and Maya 2008 - with a 1.5 million triangle model, Max 2008 gets just over 100fps in the viewport, Maya 2008 gets a mighty 16fps (which is about what Max 8 could manage).…
[ QUOTE ] Sage...I think you made a major typo. Or, if you're right, I'd like to see a test on viewport performance between max and xsi. I was under the assumption many max users used a third party app to reduce the geometry of exported sculpts, and break them down into segments, so Max could handle them. [/ QUOTE ] there…
Actually I was ranting about the fact that it took Autodesk so long to implement decent support for high polygon models compared to xsi in the viewports. Simple as that. I suspect they did this for Maya I would hope so but I would be surprised if they did. I was not making Max vs XSI comparison but a comment on why the…
maybe they'll bring back being able to snap a pivot to a vertex... Of course, what kind of silly people would ever want to that? They broke it or took it out of max 2008 so I guess no one needs that anymore :P. Autodesk is becoming an evil genie.. you wish for something and you might get it.. but then something you need is…
Get with the times people max 9 and up can handle millions and millions of polygons like XSI could since version 5. Now can Max 8 and 7 do that? No it can't, they also added that awesome hidden line feature in 9 that's worth 5000 dollars but you got it for $3,495 and to show that we care about your pockets we released 2008…
lmao professor, that's AWESOME. If you can get that online that'd be tight, but I'd settle for a local-only random image solution Cool new about max 2009 - though I'd like to see some issues fixed in Max2008. I've been using 2008 for a few weeks now and I like it, albeit a few small issues. I want Autodesk to rebuild max…
[ QUOTE ] I totally just replaced my max splash screen with that image. [/ QUOTE ] Actually I wrote a script at work that randomly chooses a splashscreen from a folder on our version control, so the artists can add new splashscreens to version control at will and everyone can laugh at Max together. I'll post it up today in…
