>>Is 3ds max for NT ??? Yes >>Where can I find information about it? >>Is the interface better? you can find all press releases/public info here in the forum by searching the libraries under the keyword "MAX" – there are several screen grabs of the new interface as well. >>Is it written using the opengl driver library render ability? No. It uses HOOPS (or is it HDI? Brain cramp here). Anyhow, it's not OpenGL. The driver was developed by ADesk and is supposed to be faster than OpenGL. >>Is it written with linear performance on SMP boxes (as I have a two >>processor and expanding to four) No idea on this yet. Information on this is a lot further down the road. From what I've seen concerning other products, the 2nd process increases throughput by 40% to 80%, and then things start dropping off fast. Only time will tell on this. >>Is it possible to be on the beta list if it is on beta? (I have recently >>bought a licensed version of 3ds4) From similar messages, it sounds like the beta team members have already been chosen. LAM
