OMG the "wedding of the millenium" over and tomorrow: Vray2.0 2012.
On a serious note: do the new builds allow script control of the light meter?

Well.........?

I don't mind waiting a couple more days. Not like 2012 is going to improve my animations or renders etc that significantly.

It's deplorable just navigating, scrubbing....everything, in Max 2011. If it weren't for the fact that it bogs down 60-80 of the work done in the application, I wouldn't be so anxious. Normally Cebas is very slow getting (finalRender) recompiles for new Max versions released, but they surprisingly got it out lickity split this time around.

I've been reading about a lot of bugs in max 2012. I definately won't be swapping over until that hot-fix is released in May.

you can always model in max 2012, save to 2011 and render there

What bugs?

What bugs?

One example is a bug in the MaxScript openFile()/closeFile() functions; this prevents anyone from using Deadline for rendering on a farm (which quite a few studios use).

Best regards,
