anti analysing is what i need

[kkacper89]

I know It might sound as noob question but how do you change colour of your 3dsmax interface from white to nice dark like the one on all videos??

thx for anwsering

[kkacper89]

@kkacper89 UI->Load UI or something like that and then load ui_dark or something like that

[mugabemerton]

clean shadows and it also demolishes unwanted texture( the tea pot)

amazing new settings, fantastic!!

[pvillella74]

I'm loving the easy access to these settings that can have a huge impact on visual quality and render time. Nice work!

As a side point, I think they are 'sliders', not 'knobs'. Knobs are round and turn or are pulled -- these guys slide.

Nice time saver thanks mate :)

i have never been comfortable with max's UI..its like anything but 3d-look..maya's UI is very well thought out..this one looks like MS office..

I steel haven't found a way to zoom directly in the timeline (with the mouse wheel this would be so usefull).

I was hoping for improved polycount in viewport much like Mudbox 2009

[marprochazka]

for what is this good ? useless

[johnvid]

Nice idea, but I like the lower setting over the high setting, looks like more detail....the HQ setting looks smoother but smooth like a blur. probably looks better at higher resolution.

[pvillella74]

I see your point. Bumping up the settings doesn't always equal a better looking render!

[mikegladtchenko]

New UI SUCKS!

[pmgruhn]

How long have you been using it?

[mikegladtchenko]

If you do not use CAD 2009 your opinion doesn't count!

The ribbon menu is counter-intuitive, cluttering and it makes harder to find stuff you need, and it just cute off your viewport space

If there were major issues with it I can understand why some one would change it.

But there were no issues with it.... Now anyone can get used to the ribbon, cause there is no other option, but come on... don't give us stuff no one wants.

If this came with floating windows then I will not complain otherwise...

Wow. How can we get these features for Maya?! Looks like I'm going to have to buy Max now.

[ewerybody]

what exactly do you need? the settings stuff isn't that already there? If not. Thats easy to script. And the comparing is in maya renderview since version 4?..

[bradahrens11]

I was mistaken. I thought the quality knobs were somehow showing a real-time "IPR-like" update of specific attributes of the render. Thanks. However, the modeling tools like the edge loop and edge ring modifiers to smooth and subtract geometry seem easy and efficient looking, which I'm sure is possible in Maya with MEL scripts or Bonus Tools, but not as streamlined.

[ewerybody]

that stuff was pretty much boosted in maya 2009 as well. doubleclick for edgeRing and of course mayas unbeatable context sensitive MarkingMenus. There is not much missing now in Maya. softsel is after many years even better as in max ;D

[bradahrens11]

Poly Reduction and adding edge loop topology while maintaining the flow geometry of are not as easy as using a Marking Menu or selecting an edge ring or loop. I can't complain, though. Everything gets accomplished one way or another. You seem knowledgeable with Maya. Do you have a link to a demo reel?
