To the Max: David Chadwick enjoys getting the feel of the new 3ds Max Design 2009

摘要

I suppose we have an interesting situation when it comes to reviewing software. Much like the motoring journalist who gets to try out a wide variety of cars (both the lemons and the desirables) there are always those certain models that we welcome back after their annual makeovers. In fact, if I had to pick a software package to spend the rest of my working life hunched in front of then it would would have to be 3ds Max. It's a combination of how it works and what it can do; the sheer brilliance and ease of its user interface, together with the range of tools and add-ons that provide an infinite number of design and presentation possibilities. Forget MS Word, where I actually do spend most of my working life -I want to spend my days playing with this and fully discover exactly what its capabilities (and my own!) are.
