UVmatch is great but it's very slow, I can drag up the spinner and then sit back and watch as the values slowly move up. This was on about 23 verts in Max 2009

Sorry for double positng. But for a " Make Of " please visit the tread at Crydev. The guys there helped me out big time. http://www.crydev.net/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=119093
I used to use quickdirt alot in max8 actually. pitsnpeaks is a decent alternative for later versions of max (at least it works in max 9, havn't tried in 2008 or 2009).
oh man, i want this. if anyone with max/zbrush script knowledge could help this guy figure out how to make this work with max 2009 that would be fantastic.
Haha, Richard, your portfolio has 4 pieces of art and it's timestamped 2009. I wouldn't sweat the portfolio for now... at all, your other advice is spot on though ;)
..and 4.1 is the last stop. So Max 2009 users and below don't get any more future polyboost enhancements. :( Hopefully orionflame doesn't get absorbed too.
