Interesting additions in the interface:
Maya like top toolbar featuring a “Simulate” button (with and explosion icon) – “Crowds” also.
In the Command Panel there’s a new button “Flow” in the Standard Primitives Group.
I’m very happy to see that they have resolved the issues they show in the video, it’s been a pain for those of us who work with large scale scenes every single day.
Way to go Autodesk!
Flow Button in Max2014 + Naiad aquisition = ???
There was a flow button in the People Power/Geppetto Autodesk Labs thing.
If that is what AD consider a large scale scene then they really have no idea of why users have been dissatisfied with viewport performance. Don’t be sure that these issues have been resolved until you’ve tried 2014 on your own projects.
not impressing upgrade
waiting for other sneak peaks
yes yse … not impressing upgrade !
amazing that max now can render IBL’s much better, what a feature, no other render engine has that lol Autodesk is only giving us breadcrumbs, I guess all the little annoying stuff is still there and will never be improved, like aligning, material editor, etc etc etc
