Re: Rumors about 3ds Max and MotionBuilder
The rumor was that they will stop developing 3ds max for animation, not kill it. The response was that they will not kill it and didn't even mention the animation, and at the same time saying that 3ds max Design has a 10x larger userbase. So I still think that design is where they are going with max. Good news about Softimage though :) /Jens On Tue, Sep 4, 2012 at 5:51 PM, Stefan Kubicek s...@tidbit-images.com wrote: Why?
