the new .NET SDK is being called a game changer
here is a quote found on this blog from mr David Mackenzie : the new .NET SDK is being called a game changer. "I am really excited about is the inclusion of the .Net wrapper for the SDK.

I might sound silly but it really is a game changer"

A Long due 3ds Max SDK post
I’ll leave the Pixels and rename the blog “Into the bits” for today. I’d like to bring to your attention 3 neat initiatives our SDK team pulled out lately.

Where Architecture work stops / Where visualization artistry begins?
I decided to learn Revit by self-building my own house, starting by the plans. As many who`s trying Revit for the first time, I was just blown away by the sheer productivity of the software. I hit the render button and got a first image out. I got excited and created wall sweeps, gutters, soffits and all the pizzaz that help make a rendering realistic. What happened exactly? I thought I’d be able to get a decent visualization out of Revit and this is where reality hit me.

This blog is about my current focus on 3ds Max as the technical product manager. If 3ds Max is the Millenium Falcon, then I'm definitely a wookie (yes, a geek one). Expect my focus to drift in time. I figured that, as a first blog post, I should tell you guys what I'm interested in (today).
