It's nice to learn that you're hiring more staff for Jim. A bit too late but good news after all.,

Wouldn't get too excited about this; Goldorak's role here is the announcer: We're planing to do this, to do that...it's on our list...noted...we're making amazing progress...
Keeping the people in the forums calm while years are passing.

More Maya resources will come online in the next two weeks. This will free Jim to focus more of his time on Max/Blender. We also have Maxc working on the 3DS max material converter to that end as well.

We are planning to push out beta V3 plug-ins for Max, Maya and Blender at GTC.

Some long time bugs will be solved in V3 ? Some like this : viewtopic.php?f=27&t=52761

Visbility using the layer system works correctly in V3 for me (I mostly use SE). It wasn't in V2.

Cool, but what is SE ?

Here we go again, lots of planning and promising.

wow... GTC in April ?
so nothing for max until april for v3... and nothing for v2 too , as people are too busy for v3....
cooool

To me the worst has been:

1- Viewport navigation slowed somewhere around the most recent updates, maybe since two months ago or so. That's when not even rendering anything at all, just by having Octane as the renderer.
2- The renderer freezing for around 10 seconds or more when unpaused after making a change, or after being initialized. Also started at around the same time as #1.

I still use v2.24.2 - 2.13... works smooth
