[ QUOTE ] Hell, they could even build it off something like blender or wings if the creators of those programs would allow it. [/ QUOTE ] MULTIPLAYER BLENDER WOULD ROCK
Ah, they were already working on it. It's apparently intended to be application independent, i.e. two people could use MAX, one Blender and another three Maya.
heh, i can easily imagine multiplayer Blender, i.e. a server set up ONLY for edit mode on a specific object. The server would have the mesh in memory and can save the mesh automatically every 15 sec, and if there's a sync error it would confirm everyone's changes immediately, otherwise automatically revert, etc etc etc.
