Maxigo 2.0.12a (updated on 17.oct 2009)
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 7:31 am
Hey all,
I think it's time to bring Maxigo out of beta.
If there are no major bugs found, then I can upload it to the main 3ds Max download page.
One of the new features in this release is material presets. You can now create some basic material types with only a few mouse clicks. There are currently 5 different categories available: Glass, Liquids, Plastic, Metal and Other. Presets are loaded dynamically from .igm files inside Maxigo/Presets folder so they are easily extendable.
There is also one new preview model called "Waves". I think it could be good for testing SSS materials. (see the image below).
[update - Maxigo 2.0.12a]
I hopefully fixed the bug where material parameters appeared under Utilities panel after loading a scene.
You can download Maxigo from this link:
