almost every year I ask the same question again…
Please, tell us what version of the MAX you or(and) your company currently use for development
if you want to go to the next version soon please vote for both choices. Thanks!
For my plugin customers,major version is max2014. and then max2012->max2016,few of them use 2011,2013 and 2015,several use 2009,none use 2017,until today.
Similar here, 2014 in Production since years.
Thinking about changing for 2017.
Still would’nt want to switch to Max 2017, even with the – premature – SP1 just recently released
Wait for the second SP comming as it should fix a big load of issues still present
Or better – use Max 2016. I just recently switched from my trustworthy Max 2014 and was pleasently suprised by the speed increase it brought and still kept stability ( even increased in comparison to Max 2014 )
I’ve been hearing a lot of people going from 2014 to 2016 lately. The speed increases in 2016/2017 for viewport alone make the upgrade worth it.
Or… you can use both 2016/2017.
UV Editor enhancement is too hard to pass;
If you really have problem with 2017.
You can just unwrap in 2017 and save as 2016.
Also;… if you use 4k monitor, you better use 2017 for your eye health.
We are about to switch to 2017 within in a month.
Another thing…
It is not documented anywhere.
But, 2017 has very critical fix for TrackView.
If you have experience the explosion of TrackView data, 2017 solved the problem.
This fix only makes us upgrade.
