Love the channel, but 3d max itself is old grandpa that doesn't follow nowadays. Slate material editor is a old and unfunny joke, crashes are common thing, biped is an unwanted forgotten child and animation editors itself are bad, UV editor is the worst on the market, really... the only one good thing that happened to the 3d max past 10 years is a TyFlow. Well few years ago I switched to Maya for animation and Houdini for FX, and I will never comeback. Tyflow is amazing, but Houdini is another level.
Good for you; for me last few years updates have been very good. I can model much faster in version 2023 than in 2020 and it has been very stable with only few crashes most of which were caused by 3rd party plugins
@@petarivic6528 are you a modeler? if yes then 3d max is probably the best soft for that, this soft has always good modeling tools - and now they are probably the best on the market, and splines? 3d max splines are the best splines that I have ever used in any 3d soft. Question, have you ever used a Maya UVeditor? try once and you will never ever do any uvs in 3d max. ...and if you do some FX/Animation or advanced rigging... oh boy... the only thing that hold this soft is tyflow. About crashes (tested in 3d max 2018, 2021 and 2022): - you want to copy script controller? random crash - if you are in modifier panel and try to quick select objects in scene explorer? random crash - do you have a huge scene? like 4x4km? then try to add "out of range" parameter to animated object (one axis) and you will see that you object movement is shifted in different axis - you have a nice mocap and want to add some custom movement? you need to create mix (your biped position is reseted to 0), the bake it and after that you can add additive layer, in Maya you can do this all at once without reseting position.. and this list goes on and on... After 10 years of using 3d max for animations and fx, company switched to Maya... and no regrets.
hey amigo.thx a lot for featuring my work " rocky forest stream " in your video.you do a great job with this videos always.keep up the good work man.ciao
Hey Eloi, since Tyflow was released, beta and pro, do you think Thinking Particles has been used less and less? Or are there different applications for both solutions? And thanks for the awesome channel!
Thanks so much for another awesome portion of 3dsMax news! These VFX shots are insane... I kind of wish there was an equivalent of Railclone natively in this software, it would open up so many procedural workflows. Right now, you have to get Railclone or switch to Houdini. Array modifier is good, but nowhere near as powerful.
I have maybe a weird question, but don´t know somebody else in to ask. I do 3D visualizations mostly for agencys and their industrial customers of their products for still renderings or animations. I work still in 3dsmax 2015 + Vray ... got stuck due to the subscription model I found to expensive as a solo freelancer as part time (50%) 3D viz, in the rest 50% I am filmmaker .... Anyway, I found out about the implementet Arnold renderer and the cheaper solo freelancer subscription and thinking about to do the move. And here´s my question: is there a huge learning curve to figure Max 2023 + Arnold out? Or is Vray the better choice? Thx for taking time to give me your thoughts! 🙂
max itself as UI doesnt change much, will take no time to get used to it. But for sure from 2015 to 2023 you will see a huge bump in performance in general, and a lot of great new modifiers that can make your life easier in modeling, like Smart extrude, better curves, retopology, array, and much more.
Love u from pakistan ❤️
Thank you sir for giving us precious knowledge. I would love to learn from you combination of phoenix and tyflow tutorial like production level.
I really like these gun blast on the ground !
WOW. this year start on fire with 3ds Max. Thanks a lot for this videos.
I am looking forward for this year. Hopefully i will manage to release new stuff soon.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for mentioning UVReactor for 3dsmax. Beta will start this week ;)
thanks

About crashes (tested in 3d max 2018, 2021 and 2022):
- you want to copy script controller? random crash
- if you are in modifier panel and try to quick select objects in scene explorer? random crash
- do you have a huge scene? like 4x4km? then try to add "out of range" parameter to animated object (one axis) and you will see that you object movement is shifted in different axis
- you have a nice mocap and want to add some custom movement? you need to create mix (your biped position is reseted to 0), the bake it and after that you can add additive layer, in Maya you can do this all at once without reseting position.. and this list goes on and on...

I don't understand why 3ds Max doesn't have a Taper Measure tool like SketchUp, which would make 3ds Max stronger for architects.
Muchas gracias por tus vídeos, a mi en particular me ayudan muchísimo
wow! we can say there is no difference between real water and virtual water
Great research! Like always!
Tyflow now has mountains terrain.
always fun
Next month you should showcase the Torque masterclass by Jesse Pitela and RedefineFX. It looks crazy with all the Phoenix and Tyflow sims!
Was covered the last month!
What happend to the TP-Tutorials? All of them are down, seems like the vimeo account was deleted. Any update on this topic?
Thanks to let me know. No idea, will investigate

Thank you!
Does this plugins works on corona render? Or only Vray
Thank you always!!!
Thanks for sharing fresh news about 3ds max ✊
Awesome
hey eloi, your Tp video courses aren't working anymore on your effectiveTDs homepage :(
Sorry for the inconvenience. The videos are not on my account, I hope I can sort this soon.
Should work again
@@andvfx it does! Thank you!

I think tyflow eat some marketshare to tP, its easier to use and very fast. I keep using more and more tyflow, but for some tasks I go to tP.

Yes, as you said array its pretty awesome for simple tasKs, but I wish too for a push on procedurality in general in max.
Thanks alot for doing this ❤❤❤

Go for the indie version! For arnold coming from vray I think its pretty easy. I did a video covering the basics
