Here is the break down as I see it. Pros: Maya style navigation Not because it's better but because its the default for so many apps. Customizable Workspaces This could be handy. I often jump between animation and modeling and have a bunch of jerry-rigged scripts to handle this transition, hopefully this will help. GPoly…
I've gone back to 2009 and its missing a lot of stuff I've come to rely on. The only way 2009 works for me if I install polyboost (which I do own) to get things like swift loop, geo poly, paint connect, set flow, Conform Brush and retopo, all things I really miss. I also have to install Soulburn Scripts (free) to get paint…
I didn't want to rant because a) it's kinda pointless since I'm talking to deaf ears, and b) because everyone is already showing signs of disappointment but I feel the need to vent. Here's an open letter to Autodesk. I think it's quite obvious that as each year passes, Autodesk's yearly updates become less exciting and…

They still do big things just not for every release so you can stick to the old method of purchasing every few years and get some pretty big advancements. The point where it makes sense for some businesses, is that being on subscription is…
I know it's user driven, but not to the extent it should be. Almost every person on this thread has mentioned something that is missing. It's clear that Max is targeted at the games industry. Maya is a staple of the animation world, be that film or game or TV, but Max is quite obviously a staple of the games industry. Sure…
They had changed the default for the scale tool but switched it back in the first service pack. If you're talking about not being able to scale after certain operations I've run into that too, I think it has to do with the new pinning system and durring some operations verts get pinned but not visually updated and there is…
It won't save you from restarting, but setting up shortcuts to 3dsmax.exe with -vx -vd will boot max into the corresponding viewport mode, vx being nitrous. As for 2013.. what really comes to mind is a post on the autodesk uservoice, something along the lines of "go to scriptspot.com, sort by most popular, integrate at…
