Jeff Mottle

Discussions in this thread: http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/26977-...ancements.html prompted a suggestion to gather a list of features and enhancements, stability improvements etc that you would like to see in future versions of max. In essence your wish list.

So, we are going to try to solicit as large of a list as possible here. Once we get sufficient feedback, I will compile the list and allow the community to rate the features most important to them. I will then take this information to Autodesk and present it to the proper channels, to ensure the most important issues in our community are heard.

To post your suggestion you must use the following format. Copy and Paste to your post and fill in the relevant information. Please separate each wish list item to a new thread within the Autodesk 3ds max Wish list forum.

----------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT TITLE FOR SUGGESTION/BUG/ENHANCEMENT REQUEST
----------------------------------------------------------------

A short title for your suggestion. (This should also be the name of your new thread)


---------------------------------------------------------------
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF YOUR REQUEST
---------------------------------------------------------------

This should include a detailed description of request. Include screen shots, methods to replicate the problem if applicable, and any relevant information about the request.

---------------------------------------------------------------
WHY THIS REQUEST IS IMPORTANT TO YOU
---------------------------------------------------------------

A short description of why your request is important and how it does or would affect your workflow.

DO NOT POST WISH LIST ITEMS TO THIS THREAD. POST A NEW THREAD TO THIS FORUM.

I've seen a lot of wish lists but their biggets problem as i see it is that they arent organized into a powerful document. If CGA can get the endorsement of several thousand members and a document is presented to them in a well written manner, then i for believe it totally can help. But only if enough people are involved. I think autodesk would be foolish to ignore such a well thought out wish list that clearly took some time and effort to develop.

it must be realy unbeliveble amount of member in the list!
it also greate management work of creating this docs. i think founders of big CG portal must communicate of this list and promote this idea over their portal!
there are too much money in the industry and it not in financial advantageous for autodesk to make this fix. in the best situation autodesk make several fix from this list but not all. "we have not time, we have not resources. we don`t know how to do it... we have more important fix" - they usualy say.

it`s all about money. max and maya are favour appliaction. it will be sell with small fixes anyway )))

I agree that a list can work. I think the problem with the "wish list" section of the Area is that lots of people only look at new posts, so some iseas don't get the support they deserve. A list like this essentially does just that, so good idea, Jeff.

dagor

does someone of you who are agree post own suggestion about fix or bug )) ?
we all agree but do nothing. it`s second problem.

I agree that if this wishlist can be put into a document form of things that we as the architectural visualization community collectively request (demand?) than they might hear us. I think this is a great idea Jeff. But then again this is why you get the big bucks, right?

I will say that my biggest gripe is with the false claims that Autodesk makes rather than with anything that is specifically lacking in Max or any other program. Can we add "stop making claims that your software can't backup" to the wishlist somehow?

i think this is a good idea. if the request comes from a recognised authority it has a much higher chance of succeeding.

i don't understand how we go about it though (sorry if this is obvious) - do we create a new post for each wish or post a reply on this thread?

derek forreal

just read the first post again...

to be clear - each wish should be a seperate post with the same subject (Re: Autodesk 3ds max Wish List) - right?

Jeff Mottle

Read the first post and post your request using the format outlined.
