Hey all, another heads up 
Just got a email regarding Discreet Max 6 and Character studio 4.2 Demo(trial 30 day) have been released.
thanks…homey
Just when I’ve secured a second hand version of max 5 they release max 6!
I’ve heard this version has some fancy new additions not seen in max before (radiosity). Should be fun to try out!
or maybe I’ve been fed untruth’s. New features from the site:
Schematic View
Particle Flow
Vertex Paint
mental ray® 3.2
reactor® 2 dynamics
Dynamic Shader UI
Network Render to Texture
Network Region Render
Spline/Patch Modeling
Relax UV’s
Mirror Skin Weights
Edit Vertex Normals
Shell Modifier
Load/Save Rendering Settings
Vertex paint and Mental ray itself is worth a look…downloading now…
yeah, I love that mental ray and reactor come bundled now. Big addition, and much better than Max 5’s GI renderer.
Didn’t max 4 + have vertex paint?
