The option to install the 3dsmax plugins won't be enabled unless it autodetects the presence of max 6/7/8 or 9 in your…

Some interesting things have been happening regarding GPU acceleration.

The version 3.9.0 is released. This time optimized the mesh loading speed a lot ( can reach 10x! ), improved the cage system ( now you can control too the ray directions ) and solved some minor bugs.
