There are still 2 bugs I'd like to see fixed but the new EXT is pretty awesome. We have a file internally where a lightsaber is stretching based on movement with data channels and it's pretty impressive. I'll be trying to put together a demo package of usage cases in the coming weeks and post it on the area.

No problems here. I crash maybe once a day, but that's okay with me. I started off crashing hourly, then several times a day, so it is almost perfect for me.

vray fully working with 2017.1

Edit: but I have not tested with new .1 feature...
With this update, 3ds max still create dump file on exit, without reason

[Sbrusse]

is it safe to say that upgrading max is safe altogether ?

Hi,

Talking about latest max2017 update, can we safely presume VRay is fully compatible with the new Data Channel modifier (or is it the other way around :P) ? still on max2016 here though, but I'd rather ask.

Thanks.

We aren't running 2017 at the moment, is it safe to say if you have VRay you might as well stick with TriPlanarTex?

Looks like a very good update! Many fixes and the Data Channel modifier seems to be quite cool.
Also the Blended box map is interesting with its 6 input maps and projection lock.
I'm wondering if Chaos Group gave them the Triplanar map code...

The Blended Box Map looks like its designed by Neil Blevins
AD must have studied the soulburnscripts and Neil's workflows.

Blended Box Map was designed very closely with Neil, an excellent community contribution to influence the design of the software.

MaxtoA will be like the one in Maya... single workstation license...
