I was recently directed to the this wiki site which hosts an extensive amount of 3ds Max video training. Because it is a wiki, it means that it can be improved and enhanced by the community. I think it's a brilliant idea. It's amazing how much content they already have up there. I…

Everyone wants their software to run faster (well, except Word users maybe), but it's usually their specific data that they want to run faster. So here is your chance. We're looking for some datasets that represent typical scenes and that have more than 5,000 objects in them. We don't…

Just as we thought we had created the world's most significant VIZ release in years, we discovered to our horror that we screwed up the install on VIZ 2008 and you can ONLY install using the default path. As luck would have it, we discovered this too late to stop the shipment. We're…

You might find it surprising to know that 3ds Max is the number 1 professional 3D animation tool on the planet. Most seats and most revenue. We now know this because we purchased the #2 company last year and I've been analyzing all the historical and current data. We can remove all…

I'm supposed to be in Las Vegas for One Team Conference (pep rally for the channel) and in SF for GDC. At the same time... I'd much rather be in SF with all those crazy Game guys than wandering lost in Casino X, Y or Z. Right now, I'm stuck in Montreal for a whopper of a snow storm…

OK, well I get beaten up on the forums for all the problems users run into (and the fact that many of them turn out to be user error is really an issue with the complexity of our products), so I was hoping that some of you who read this blog would actually give me ONE thing you like…

Here's an email from one of our testing experts who had a chance to put the new Revit/DWG interop to the test. You'll find these new tools in the announced VIZ 2008 and 3ds Max 9 Extension 1 (subscriptoin only). Hope they work as well for you.
