I wasnt quite happy with the end result with the gunge as it stood, preferring the ANH Tantive corridor look for R2 happy



However, once I have done this pass I will see about adding more of the gunge back in happy

Cheers,

Wiz.

That looks really good.

Still Mental Ray right?

Are you using Max 9 Mental Ray?

I don't really use Mental Ray, but the improvements made for Max 9 are a really great reason to switch. Plus Max 9 runs a bit better than Max 8, and it'll be the only version available for Vista (once they put out the update for subscribers on the 29th).

Well made the switch to Max 9 (much better), and done a render test with the new material types happy
Also corrected the dome shape, so it should be more accuate now (hopefully).

happy

In my experience Max 9 crashes a lot more than 8.

I like the red one.

It looks very nice.

Although the blue parts look very black without the direct lighting.



So far with my experience Max 9 has run better. The viewports run a bit better and there have been several improvements with different plugins to fix some bugs (cloth is less buggy and so is Hair). I haven't had the troubles that I've had with Max 8.

Heh, tell that to the 200+ recovery files in my autobackup directory. I have 4, 5, 8 and 9 running on the same machine, and 4 still runs the best.

I don't even use autobak. But Max 5 was pretty good. Maybe you're doing something wrong, mine doesn't hardly crash ever unless I run out of RAM.
