3D Studiomax R2, the latest upgrade of the widely-used 3-D computer animation software was released last week by Kinetix. The upgrade has more than 1,000 new features including enhanced NURBS modeling, and several features for game designers such as baycentric morphing and the ability to assign interactive RGB data per vertex. More than 30 third-party plug-ins are available for 3D StudioMax, and this upgrade includes a Software Developer's Kit to ensure that more of such plug-ins will be developed by experienced users. 3D StudioMax R2 is available for Windows NT and DOS systems, priced at U.S. $3,495 for a new, single-user license, with upgrades from previous versions ranging from $795 to $3,000, depending upon which platform and version is being upgraded.
