Most. I use 3ds max for my general purpose CG. But other stuff like UVing and stuff I use Modo, Zbrush, and some other tools.

id have to say 3ds max 8, blitzkrieg the main exporter for haloce purposes does not work for max 9 and even less (if that were possible) for 2009, the alternative would be to use bluestreak, however that program seems to be flawed, having biti, opsy and i having SERIOUS exporting issues, in that we couldnt get a simple cube to export correctly until after several exports (12 to be precise)

well, i used maya 2009 (maybe 2008?), and the differences between that and max 2009 cannot be too much because autodesk owns maya now. i would say for general use 2009 is the best since its the newest, but for halo get max 8. i use max 8
the plugins and stuff for putting things in halo only work in max versions 3 through 8. 8 is the newest you can get and still have full blitzkreig (halo exporter) functionality Edited by Donut on Sep 14, 2008 at 12:14 PM |

I mainly use 8 but sometimes use 9 because the Dreamscape plugin doesn't work for Max 8.
