I don't know if you have ever filled in the Autodesk crash forms but I have filled out a lot of them over the last 11 years I have been working in games using both max and maya. I have never once gotten a response from Autodesk. When I upgraded to Modo 801 I was getting a lot of crashes on the Mac version (which I could…

I hope to see other PCers there, especially those interested in animation (presentations are animation-centric). I suppose there will be a short spiel from Autodesk…

My response: Which version of Maya with which Service Packs (8, 8.5, 2009, . . . 2020)? Does that include how much MEL and Python I know how to use? I've got dozens of scripts running to speed up my workflow--are you referring to "Vanilla Envelope Maya?" Does this include knowing how to debug Maya issues? Do I deduct a…
+1 on this. I've never used 3ds max in a studio environment before starting at Blur. If they like your work it wont be a problem. That being said...
