Hi all !
Can anyone tell me in dettail about compatibility of 3ds max 9 32 bit and 3ds max 9 64 bit?
my frnd is getting problem in network rendering.. his one machine has 32 bit and another has 64 bit of 3ds max 9....

thanks

The scene files are compatible, however all the machines must be running the same version (32 bit or 64bit) of Max for network rendering. i.e. you can’t send a 32bit job to a 64bit render node or vice-versa.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

Thanks a lot ..

Can you guide me in detail of compatibility of these versions of max and the OS versions in all the processes like working on and rendering through network.

Thanks you again for give your precious time

The OS is immaterial except insofar as you need a 64bit OS to run 64bit Max. The 32 bit versions (of Max) will run quite happily on a 64bit OS both for workstation use and for rendering.

Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.

Thanks a lot for giving me this information..

I used to use 64-bit version of 3DSMAX 9 but needed to change back to 32-bit version.

The reason is that HSDS modifier in 3DSMAX 9 64-bit will crashes as soon as I apply it on a model to smooth out my character’s cloth.

If somebody could spot this problem and find a way to solve this, please let me know.

Thank you.
