Max 6 New Feature videos

[jujubee]

I saw these videos today on the Discreet site. I think they are pretty new. Most of the new features covers animation. They are pretty good but that's not my forte. I really didn't see too much of interest for single framed images - vertex paint looks great (but I think I'd take Deeppaint over it), they have a built in 'solidify' modifier now, and the mental ray integration seems a little more solid (with HDRI support of course.) I really hope there's more to it than just this. It seems like they improved Max 6's speed- but on the last video they mention they were running on a dual P4 3.2 system... Could be the reason why. I think I will wait a while before going out to grab the new Max... Unless someone can find a better reason beyond better animation controls.

Same here, mainly got it though for plug-in updates.
Change the core. Change the core. (chanting)

no need to chant, as max has no real "core".
