3Dsmax 2010 is out

[cecofuli]

This new interface... After some hour, a beautiful headache !

(*) In my opinion, we must use in, obviously, in vertical position, due to our wide screen monitor.
(*). This type of interface is for newbie, not for professional. We need something like... "Advance Interface", with little button and more compact interface (try example from old Polyboost interface, please).
(*). Too much free space. Space are money!
(*). Old Polyboost UI is 1/4 size.
(*). Ok, I can create my toolbar, but... I repeat, we need a compact UI, not duplicate tool, in the command pannel and in the Graphite UI.
(*). I can't see the minimize Icon, if the tool is in vertical position.
(*). In the Command pannel there are tools that in Ribbon there aren't and vice-versa.

This is my impression. Yours?

I search right now on the Area some opinion

MY opinion, Office 2007 sucks, Autocad 2009... took me a while to find my way through the stupid new interface but finally was able to change it to classic view, haven't installed 2010 yet but I don't think I'm gonna like it..does the graphite bar float? atleast maybe I can push over to the 2nd monitor. whoever is pushing the "usibility" of these new interfaces should be shot, well atleast fired...

I agree. Please post this on the Area and forward to your reseller... if enough of us complain they might take notice.

On CGTalk I'm a little "evil", but, unfortunately, it's the true
How do you this is possible solver that problem? Custom Quadmenu, custom toolbars? Scripted UI?

[rmejia]

I'm not a big fan of the ribbon either ... but it seems to be slowly creeping up on every single Autodesk product. I like the Adobe CS4 interface. I think it's a lot more efficient and customizable than the "ribbon". I really like the fact that you can see or have open several different tabs, unlike the ribbon which only allows for one at a time, making me have to be flipping through tabs to get functions which should be side by side.

what about viewports dockable menus?
that would definetely be a nice thing...for a change!

[deflix]

wahay!.........another complete waste of money for us all.

Each and every Graphite Tool is available as a macroscript...go aead and disect it as you see fit (dont really like the ribbon either).

really? /me waits for someone to redo the UI in a nice compact manner.

[cecofuli]

Oh, yes. All tools are available in Macro manners (like in PB). So, you can recreate the good, fast, stable, static, compact old Polyboost tollbar. Follow my discussion on CGTalk

[Morbid Angel]

what is this ribbon you are all talking of?
anyway view cube is still my favorite...i mean come on it has occlusion shadow!

[cecofuli]

Ok, i think that the only solution is to re-write the all Ribbon UI to re-create the old Polyboost UI:

(*) Ribbon with static UI. If I change the sub-object the UI don't must change.
(*) Ribbon with only the tools not available in the Command pannel.
(*) Ribbon with tooltip button. So, if I need it i click that icon to help me.
(*) Ribbon with only icon button. I don't need Icon+Icon description.

I hope to see a new ModelingRibbon.xaml on Scriptspot soon . For now I still use 3ds max 2009 + PB UI.

Morbid: see my thread on CGTalk

Bye
