I read some people have issues with anything past 2010. But I figure if your going to upgrade go big or go home. 3ds max is quite a high $ peace. Unless your a student In which case I am not.

This is really going to be useful for us as the blam engine uses .wrls to highlight errors in geometry that tool finds. The only alternative to this is the blender 2.4x series or any version passed 2010 so good luck getting your hands on that. -Zekilk

They changed too many things, the WRL support is not worth it, I'd rather have max 2010 32-bit then. Wait What's wrong?
