Re: 3DSMax 2011
First of all, thanks for taking the time to post here at Polycount. With all due respect, I hate the ribbon in AutoCAD and in 3ds Max. I don't see how it's any better than a standard menu bar. It comes across as very gimmicky. If it was similar to InDesign and Photoshop, where only the tool you select jumps out, it would… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
i run the trial of 3dsmax on xp SP3 8800GT and 260GTX with the latest graphics drivers and updates. While on 260 i had some slowdowns while using canvas but overall max felt very smooth and stable. When i installed the trial on the 8800GT machine it ran a lot faster and smoother in canvas, quicksilver and overall the… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
Hey Ken, Will Quicksilver work with RTT? Regarding the Ribbon, so can we freely customize it to look more like polyboost once again? Can I split up the buttons so I can have a side bar on both sides? With Polyboost in 2009 I have PolyDraw & Loop Tools docked on the right while selection, other modeling, and transform tools… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
Just tried out 2011 64 and it is sloooooooooow. The new features look awesome, specifically the Viewport Canvas and I do like the idea of the node based mat editor. But seriously, it's just so unbelievably slow it's unusable in a professional environment in my opinion. Is there a reason the Viewport Canvas menu trails and… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
Jesse, I don't want to step on your toes too much but the ribbon is far from perfect at least not yet. I'll ignore the vertical layout since it doesn't have a compacted mode. 1) Giant gaps bloat these windows larger than they need to be. This is most visible in the "compacted" view. 2) Another feature of the "compacted"… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
Ken, thanks for posting and clarifying that stuff. The whole subscription thing leading to annual releases is an issue many people won't even know about, they think of the package as a one-off buy for themselves, and thus get confused when a new version comes out (what seems like) shortly after they bought their version.… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
So my school being the early adopter it is has "updated" to max 2011 and I was able to mess around with it a bit. -the material editor has been replaced with an extremely nice node based one that almost looks exactly like the one you see in udk (you also have an option to go back to the old editor) but this one is so much… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
I haven't noticed a difference in the cut tool but then I stopped having trouble with it around max2008. If I had to guess you're trying to cut/create edges in vert mode? Try cutting/creating edges in edge or poly mode and see if that is any better. Next check the scale of your scene and the snap settings. It would be… -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
If it was that easy :) . Nope. Framedops occure with and without stats. I just have a feeling that it is the whole Framework thing. Unfortunately i have framedrops with and without the ribbon being enabled. pssshh -
Re: 3DSMax 2011
This is all part of autodesks "Excalibur" expansion of max. As aforementioned it pretty much revolves around the ribbon UI but also improving performance and stability.
