2020.1 is out. They finally managed to make the viewport detachable. I never once imagined a day like this would come during my lifetime.
The new chamfer modifier is awesome too.
Good times! Now let me test if its stable.
Editable Poly sub-object switching is even faster now.
If you had an issue with missing “User-defined” in make preview, that’s fixed, too.
If you are using alembic, the triangulation is fixed.
Also hot keys has been modified. It was a bug community effort mostly driven by users.
So how are those floating working ?
heh, interesting. I would think than making more windows dockable would be the way to go. but what do I know…
What do you mean?
to be able to dock more windows therefore have cleaner UI with less floating windows that I find quite messy. 4k screen that is getting more and more popular is a lot of space for all the most used windows of 3ds max neatly packed into one big 3ds max window. sort of UI of Blender or Substance Designer.
chamfer modifier again lol…
I don’t care about anything but stability. Is it more stable? The latest 2019 is pretty good, but it got so bad in MAX 2017, even 4 or 5 crashes times a week is pretty good. Software this expensive should never crash.
Yes, max 2019 is pretty good and very stable. When test driving it, it never crashed once actually.
Once I installed all my plugins and scripts I started having random crashes.
But the main cause of crashes, by far, are third-party models. It’s unbelievable how crappy and unnecessarily convoluted they are sometimes.
However, I would be crippled without 3rd party plugins. My scenes do start to get wobbly when I use Forest Pro. V-Ray’s IPR also seems to make things get sketchy.
Years ago I put in the suggestion that they give the user the ability to search for scripts and actions by keyword for assigning buttons and hotkeys. So I love that they added that ability to the keyboard shortcut editor. BUT it makes zero sense that they un-coupled it from the CUI editor and didn’t include that ability in the other customization stuff. And I currently can’t find a way to assign hotkeys to drag-and-drop scripts.
