3ds Max 2015 released

[Utroll]

Beside warez topic, any opinion about the futur death of 3dsMax, or not, from this announcement ?
Comments on web are rather pretty bad.

[zzubnik]

I've been told that there are no current plans to kill Max. Max is the current best selling 3d software, it has the most users, Autodesk is not going to kill it just yet.

That is true, but Softimage users were told the exact same thing not long ago

[zzubnik]

That is very true, but Softimage had a tiny user base compared to Max. Max has a larger user base than even Maya.

However, that fact remains true. Softimage users were lied to, after years of little development.

Autodesk have done a lot of damage to their reputation in recent years, but people are still buying the software.

Yes but why did they created 3dsmax Designer then ?
According to some opinions AD will probably split in Maya for animation, fx ... and Designer for Archiviz.
Some are saying as well that most of 3ds will be yet written in Singapore .. a bit like Softimage a while ago...

Comments on that thread were anyway very unhappy but (eventually) informative : http://www.maxunderground.com/archives/20745_3ds_max_2015_features.html

There always was a product aimed at archvis. It used to be called Viz. It is true that there is a team in Singapore working on parts of Max they are only part of the team though.

"You look at wrong place. Dont you know that autodesk officially releases software on piratebay first :]"

Yeah just make claims....   

All the trial versions for maya2015, 3ds max 2015, mudbox 2015 etc is freely available on autodesks servers, if you have a license you can activate them like normal. It's out! get over it and realize autodesk isn't the fastest company to send out emails.

max 2015 trial:
http://trial.autodesk.com/SWDLDNET4/2015/3DSMAX/DLM/Autodesk_3ds_Max_2015_EFGJKS_Win_64bit_dlm.sfx.exe

max design 2015 trial:
http://trial.autodesk.com/SWDLDNET4/2015/MAXDES/DLM/Autodesk_3ds_Max_Design_2015_EFGJKS_Win_64bit_dlm.sfx.exe

So just because autodesk doesn't update their website instantly, doesn't mean they have given the public access.  These are not pirated or illegal in any way.

Edit: So can we please oh please have a corona render for max 2015 now? :D

Thank you Ondra !

Good question, Maybe AD is changing the paths. I have seen other reports that the links for max, maya and a few others jump between online/offline.  the last post at a different forum they said max design was down too, but that seems to be up for me right now.  Chances are that the links were data-mined by people, and that AD is swapping things around to prepare on their website. Who knows.

This is exactly the case, and what you are seeing here is not necessarily the final build.
