Title: Earlier Versions of Max
Post by: Roanoke on January 11, 2005, 11:26:08 am

Does anyone where I can get earlier (offical) versions of Max (I was thinking v4 or 5) 'cos I can't afford the £2500 for v7. New or possibly used would be fine. Can't find anything at Discreet.  

I did a search and they don't mention anything over than v7. There are places to buy earlier versions but I can't remember any of the urls.

Assuming you don't want to liberate it, have you considered GMax? It's basically Max 6 without the renderer - though I suppose if you want it to render and not to model then you might be in a bit of strife.

And yeah, GMax works well. :nod:

I hope GMax is better than that horrible trainwreck that is known as TS.

Meh, it's easier to get "liberated" copies than offical copies...:sigh:

Shoot.

And Gmax is Max 5 stripped of its rendering engine.
