Oh...my teacher said it was a recent addition, guess he was wrong.Quote:

Only thing I hate about Max is how the program will crash on occasion when it's "overworked".
thanks melf...glad somebody caught that one :)Quote:

Character Studio (Biped) was added in Max 1.1 (circa '98), but there's a software that predates Max called 3d Studio, so it all depends on the meaning of 'recent.'Quote:

I've been putting Max4 through some torture tests lately (really high poly stuff and complex nurbs, layered effects, etc) and under Windows 2000, it hasn't crashed once. Max2 used to crash fairly often under NT4 though. One of the perks of upgrading, I guess.
Your school computers are running it under 2k, right? That's the only officially supported OS for Max4. Anything else is taking your chances.
yup you would be correct 3D Studio was a DOS 3d app that was the predocesor for 3D Studio Max (GGGRRRRRR)Quote:

I havent used max since like hmmmmm v1.2 or something weird like that tried 2 but same shit crashed constantly
i havent used any of the new releases but my friend showed me some stuff in 4 seems to be coming along nicely but ehh im an Alias|Wavefront guy i started on Power Animator and then moved over to Maya when it was released
Now this is really abusing the PS2's backward's compatiability feature. Sheesh, and I thought the Episode 1 pod racing game was bad.
I'm sure the next platue for gaming graphics, will be like those found in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. That hardware setup costed Square, around $100 million, and took up a whole room. How long will it be, before someone can harness that much power, in a package the size of a console?
Didn't you know? PS3 will do all that and more!:pQuote:

Well, PS3 WILL be more powerful than Xbox. Technology does Advance all the time, and by the time PS3 is out, Xbox will be 3 year old system.
But then Xbox 2 will Roll out.............
Is it futile for me to hope that the PS3 won't be named the PS3? Sony, that is not how we do things around here. Look around you. Everybody comes up with new names for their new systems. At least have the decency to call it the Super Playstation or the Playstation 64.
I'm thinking it's futile for me to wake up and realize Sony had actually named the PS2 something else then PS2. Damn.Quote:
