3ds max 2008 is announced. Something interesting is the GPU shadowing system for the viewport. Checkout the video about the "review rendering" feature. It does support up to 64 lights.
I also like the new working-pivot and the new LOD options. The ability to UV unwrap multiple objects manually at the same time also sounds very useful.
And … finally … a better maxscript editor!! Yay 🙂
Wonderfull the maxscript editor was almost a notepad ¬¬
