You can get a free 30 day trial of TB2, or use a max shader like 3point lite or Xoliul's shader, but I think current versions of max broke both of these shaders, so it depends on which max you're using. There may be some built in shaders these days with max too, not sure, I'm not really a max guy.
Those aren't yearly releases, those funny numbers tell you what service pack you're on. Maya/Max v201.0 Maya/Max v201.1 Maya/Max v201.2 Maya/Max v201.3 Maya/Max v201.4 I'm using Max v201 service pack 2, better known as Max 2012. What service pack are you using? They leave out the decimal point so you think they are yearly…
