Isn't what's happening the same thing only with a new name? I mean before we had Max & Viz. Now we have MAx entertainment version & Max design version. Max design version = viz, just a name change?

I've read the release from autodesk, but I don't understand the need for two versions unless they are taking something away from the design version. Or adding something to the entertainment version, I just don't know what that "something" is......

while I agree that viz was good for architect's needs, that's only true from a still image stand point and even then, I've used particles in max to generate instanced geometry in an architectural still image. something I couldn't do in Viz. and animation wise, architects hands are/were tied with viz in some senarios.
