What I really really like is you guys being active in the community and listening to  it - just like what you are doing right now. Kudos for that!

Great to hear!

My biggest concern, as always, are still your overlords (Autodesk). The track record has been spotty to say the least. By far the biggest issue for me though are the subscriptions - I just have a really hard time getting aboard with that.

Obviously the two statements above are probably nothing you can do about it but still :) From a pure software standpoint I  like the progress this year. Good work :)

Yeah, subscriptions and such are not something I work on. I can say though that there is a genuine and real commitment to 3ds Max and our group.  Everyone I work with are passionate and driven to continue putting our best into it.

We're just disappointed that 2018 has broken so many key basic features that were totally solid in 2016.

Please email me the issues you are referring to.  I apologize if you have already done this but I would like to be clear on all of this and take a look.

On the primary topic of this thread, how do you folks feel about the features in 3ds Max 2018 now that the three updates are out? 

We are working hard on quality, new features, and listening to you as well.
