Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

new features of 3dsmax 6 are:

    Schematic View
    Particle Flow
    Vertex Paint
    mental ray® 3.2
    reactor® 2 stuntman/vehicle dynamics
    Dynamic Shader UI
    Network Render to Texture
    Network Region Render
    Spline/Patch Modeling
    Relax UV's
    Mirror Skin Weights
    Edit Vertex Normals
    Shell Modifier
    Consolidated Rendering Workflow
    Save Rendering Settings

    Autodesk® VIZ® Render Support
    Layer Manager
    Command Line Rendering
    HDRI Support
    "Blobmesh" metaballs
    more info...


I'm personally looking foward to getting to know shell modifier - Apparently this allows to build a shell around parts of object based on vertex normals. Shells would allow to easily create Mech (or other tech) look.

More info on 3DSMAX 6

30-day trial will be available for download some time in October. I'll write up a review of it when I can get my hands on a copy 8)

bah! blender has had those for at least 5 years now.

ah well, maybe i should get around to learning 3ds max as well. can you animate models in max and export them for games like quake models (i'm not talking about gmax)?

I'm not sure about game spesific exports, but I'm sure you can find converters from .3ds to just about anything.

Its ASCII exports are really easy to read too - Catalyst was using those for his models in Turing programs Wink
