Easy 3DS Max Question...Which One?

[Lexviticus]

Hi all, I am working on a fresh install of XP and can't decide which version to install. 2008 or 2009? I don't use it all that much, but gotta have vray working. Not sure what the other plugin compatibility issues are at this point.

Thanks,
Lex

either one.. they're basically the same.. but i would go for 9 because.... if you get a model somewhere thats made in 9 it wont open in 8

[keks]

either one for sure

I find 2009 more stable than 2008. I usually work with very heavy models, and 2008 would crash sometimes...

depends what machine you have. I still stick with the 9 version. Even the startup is much faster than the 2008 or 2009 version

[vrichards]

go for 2009, if u have xp 64 bit then nice to go with 64 bit max2009

[jbmod]

yeah i'd go with 2009 too

GO FOR MAX 9 Its MUCH BETTER STABLE VERSION
for Vray and avialable all SORT OF PLUGINS

[maobadi]

Yes I agree with most of the guys, go for 2009.

I am still using the 3D max 9, and I am not thinking of changing it! Every plugin that exist is compatibile with it, and I found it very stable too!
