i attended siggraph 95 and sat through autodesk's three presentations of 3d studio max twice. it was quite impressive. during each presentation of biped, it was stated that biped was included with max. i have read that it will be sold separately ? could you clarify ? thx's frank

Frank, Go with the written info. Biped (with Skinemation) will be a separate product sold by Autodesk. Inverse Kinematics, with object & position pinning, however, WILL be a part of 3DS MAX, integrated in a seamless manner, unlike 3DS R4. Perhaps therein lies the confusion.

Kevin: the problem is that autodesk stated that biped and skinemation was part of 3d studio max. they went out of their way to say so during their presentation. also, everyone i talked with (at siggraph 95) regarding these functions were assuring me that is was also part of 3d studio max. maybe we could get someone from autodesk to clarify what was obvious at the time. frank

Frank, Sorry, it IS clear to me. Biped w/Skinemation is a separate product (although to be sold by Autodesk). This is info the dealers have, and is consistent with the press releases. They do indeed operate seamlessly WITHIN 3DS MAX, and can be used with other 3DS MAX core components. Again, I feel you must have misunderstood someone's comment regarding the product.

Frank, I posted a message earlier. I did all of the Biped demos at SIGGRAPH and never once said that Biped would ship with 3D Studio MAX. I did, however, say that Biped was the first fully-integrated plug-in for 3D Studio MAX. As Kevin pointed out, Autodesk has been clear on this issue through dealer mailings and press releases. Sorry for the confusion. Jh
