3D Studio Max Forum

This is a learning based forum and community with a focus on 3D Studio Max. However, this does not exclude users of other 3D programs such as Maya, Zbrush, Vue and Wings 3D. In many cases people will use a wide variety of software packages, including 2D editing programs, to achieve their artistic goals and therefore we encourage users to share their knowledge of other software.

We offer many great features, earned through participation, such as an online portfolio which can be used as a mini webpage to show work to friends and even potential employers. Also, each month the user with the most participation will be chosen as the featured artist, giving their work a spot on the home page!

We ask that before posting you read all posts marked "please read before posting".

We also suggest that you read the FAQ before using this site. It explains how to use your Profile, Portfolio and the Forum.

Thanks - Jamie + Matt

New Mod and Time zones
News New Mod and Time zones
Hey everyone,

As of today we have a new Moderator on the team. +cdballew joins the list of staff:

+Jamie (Admin)
+Steve Martin (Admin)
+VarnishedOtter (Admin)
+cdballew (Moderator)

Also you may notice that we're up to MaxForum v2.0.3. But the main thin you will notice is you can now set your time zone in your profile. I have no idea how it will react with Daylight Savings time though, so let me know if your timezone is out.

A few minor bugfixes and little things added too. So enjoy guys.

Dont forget to enter the challenges if you haven't already.

---Matt
