3DS Max Version

[TEMPTii]

Ok, I thought paladin meant it only works up to version 9 so I got confused between 'em and ThePlague. My bad...

[paladin]

I ment it works with 9, aswell. Preferably, I like Max 9 more. But thats mho

Well I'm going to try to model with Max 2010 and see if it goes well. If not, I'll go back to Max 8. I need some modeling lessons though...

EDIT: This is what I mean, this model doesn't look like it was created in 3DS 8 or 9, maybe it's because I suck at modeling or something.

That can be created in all 3ds Max versions.

Just because you have a higher max version it doesn't mean you can model better... it just means that there are less bugs or new and more features...

Personally I don't really use any of the new features in max 2010, because I plane model. So I don't need to usr the lazy tools. Unless it helps me in some way and makes life quicker.

The only reason I switched to max 2010 is becuase max 8 disabled the aero theme in Windows 7 which made it look ugly, and I like pretty looking things

And you can use bluestreak and all versions of max like everyone has said.

I never said I could model better ;P

I just said maybe it would be easier.

Well some of the tools might help you, depends what you need really Lol.

There are two things that I don't like about 8 that may or may not have any impact on what you're making:

It lags like a bitch when you put textures on (later versions don't)

You can only chamfer with one side, instead of making nice round chamfered edges with any number of equally subdivided polygons
