As some of you may know, 3ds Max 2017 was released today. I've had the opportunity to participate on the Beta for 2017 for several months. I couldn't share any opinions about it until now. I don't have time at this very moment to share all of my impressions. But I do want to give a brief note.

1) WW does work in 2017 already--except for the VTF importer in WW Pro. We'll hopefully have a build of WW Pro with the VTF importer later this week.

2) 2017 is the most impressive version of Max to date in terms of speed and performance. The UI is very fast and efficient.

3) I'm not a fan of the new default colors and icons, but the general speed enhancements outweigh that by far in my book. I hope they will give us higher-contrast icons with some more traditional colors in the future because I have a hard time immediately distinguishing some icons because they are all too similar in color and contrast.

4) UV Mapping tools are greatly enhanced.

I'll share some more of my thoughts later in the week.
