Solid release, watch the feature videos.. Impressive.
Even if i’d try my best, I would not be able to find the right words to praise enough this software and developers for their hard work with these feature packed rapid releases!
this point release looks to offer way more development that what’s rumored to be in 3ds max 2016 for £600 subscription…
Lookin’ good!! Interface looks solid too.
