I’ll do it for £100k
:lol:
i take rubls
How about personal checks
How about personal checks - I know some hot women in Canada who owe me a favour or two 
- I also know some good looking guys (each to there own ! ) Sheep, Cats, Monkies - please tell us something 
Ill phrase this politically - are you about to abandon other modeling and animation tools and make “something else” a primary?
So can those in the know tell us will Max 9 be a well worthwhile upgrade? Obviously different segments are going to consider it good and others maybe not so, but I am looking for just a general statement, not specifics that you can’t give out. And I realise that what is good for one is not so good for another. Anyway any opinions would be good!
Thanks! 
lets say that max 9 will be a significant improvement in some areas over 8, and if you compare 8 and 7, then 8 was hardly an improvement over 7 with very few features. 9 will have many new features and will be a big improvement over 8, which will help in many suffering areas.
It will on its hole
I hope you ment Whole.
hahahahahhaaha
:lol:
Sounds good. Can’t wait to see it in the light of day!
Riddle
I know there is a riddle in there joconnell : It is like the DaVinci code :
It will on it’s hole - if I re-arrange the letters, maybe it will lead me to a town in Northern France and I’ll find a vile with a scroll
- Ah I got nothing!!
The best I can hope for is patience and that the company will send me to Siggraph, then I’ll see it in the flesh when it hatches.
Not at all 
Max 9
I think I get it :shock: I don’t think there will be a Max 9 at all - I think there will be a re-write and a new name - I don’t think we are getting a number 9 - “it will on it’s hole” - is a Dublin expression more or less equal to “Yeh Right !!!” in the states. The mentioning of all the previous max numbers 7,8 and now 9 is the clue… I think :roll:
There’ll be a bit of a tidy but nothing ground breakingly new. Aside from fluid there’s nothing big for max to integrate so that its marketing feature list matches everyone elses. Speed increases may get a little better but you’re dealing with a 12 year old program at this stage…
I’m getting ready to be dissapointed once again - I keep threatening it - maybe I’ll actually act on the threat and start to learn XSI - it seems to be the only program that is going forward in a significant way - unless of course this is all smoke and mirrors - I know they (autodesk) are watching us and the NDA speaketh ! !
I’d say autodesk aren’t watching and don’t really care - Theres a handful of people that are steering the development of max and I think they’re the big names you see floating around the max world all the time and they don’t even listen to them half the time…
Xsi is a great program and personally it’d be a good idea for me to get back into it since all of my favourite studios use it but max still does everything I need quicker than anything else so I’ve no real reason to change at the moment…
I believe we are getting node based shaders in 9 (finally!)
it’d be nice!
care to substantiate and elaborate further?

from what i have heard… Performance is the key word being thrown around.
yes spatial and temporal surfaces…
