Videos 2 and 3 are on my next blog post...

Videos 2 and 3? Where they are? And on this clip here I see def.max renderer.

Maybe it's a CUDA based render? :)

Since a few of you discovered some other videos and pointed them out to me, I went ahead and posted those in a new blog. Thanks for discovering them!

Probably something in Max viewport, as the robot rotates you can see the pixels moving like flickering..
this reminds me vray RT, but the only new to come is Iray from mental images..

Well, only Ken probably knows.

Videos 2 and 3? am I missing something? :)

"Videos 2 and 3 are also quite interesting. :) "


Yeah that dynamic reflection thing looks nice! ;)

My guess.... a preview render from a game engine in a Max viewport. I am thinking/guessing there is some newish DirectX goodness in that there room and robot. sniff sniff I smell something burning in there too.....can't make out what it is yet but it's smoking. But I am an idiot so don't mind me....off to make some kindling.

This is great, but if it's going to be oriented towards animation i think the animators need one thing after a great viewport, the ability to have the curve editor opened, with all the curves shown and without the performance penalty that exists right now, i think that this is really important, i have a lot of friend, animators, from some great videogame companies and with a real time character in viewport (low poly) they cannot see his animation in real time with the curve editor opened, i think that they will be greatfull if this is fixed in some patch or extension to max2010, you can do that in the same machine with the same scene with maya.
Please make the engineers take a look on this, is not a new feature, it is a fix that is really important to the animators in general.
About the video...if it's viewport it is really impressive, i like the shadows because right now the shadows are a bit glitchy, but i want to see some GI that's what i'm really waiting for in wieport previz, for light works hehe

Great work and thanks as always Ken.

Cheers.

Videos 2 and 3 are also quite interesting. :)

Would 11,750,156 polys be OK? Just want to make sure you're impressed.

Viewport rendering? How about showing something with more than 1000 polys in it! 1,000,000 polys...or 10,000,000 polys...now that would be impressive...

So new Max has some cool fast nce looking animation preview thing?! Great!

Test RBX, oh ken you tease
