Who said majority is right?
That's the problem.

RE: Max has a new uv editor texture

[Derek Jenson]

I used Max a lot of years in the games industry. After many years away from it, 
I'm currently doing some work back in the Max world. I'm shocked this program 
is still the most widely used 3d app. Shocked how often it glitches & crashes. 
Shocked how little has changed in the last 10 years. A UV bitmap isn't going to 
bring any part of Softimage into this turd.
Bouncing between zBrush and Max feels like I'm time warping between today and 
1999. Such a turd. Honestly makes me disappointed in the industry.

Heh, I wondered what many would think of that if it was picked up.

In some ways it does mean just a little bit of Softimage goodness lives on, 
which is what I always hoped for. Though when I first saw this some time ago, 
it did feel like a sucker punch to the gut.
