I was very happy with this news but got sad when I saw no support for max 2009 and 64-bit version. :(

for the modeling plugins no problem not being on max 2009, and the particle stuff would most likly be comp'd afterward anyhow so not too much hassle not being on max2009 imho esp as there's a few bugs to be squashed before i move projects to max2009 anyhow.

Same here- I really, really hate to complain about a free horse, but I was hoping for 2009 64 support as well.

Fractal Flow used to be one of my favorites! I wonder if this has the AE version as well- downloading now.

Ya, a shame there's no 64bit support. Ah well, it's still cool that some of the max userbase will get these tools for free.

Since they said there will be no updates anymore, maybe we hope they release the source code to someone like Dave from maxplugins recompile. ;)

Darn. I just tried them in 3ds Max 2009 and no go. It used to be that Max plugins compiled for even version 6 were compatible up through v9. But I guess there've been some fundamental changes in the API?

It used to be that Max plugins compiled for even version 6 were compatible up through v9.Negative. 6 to 8 only. Anyway, I'm still on 8 so it's anice little add-on.

Appreciated.

anyone had luck with "Sandblaster" for Max 9/Max2008 ?

i cannot create a "Sand Blaster" Primitive, Max just doesn't want to create one in the viewport ...

I am just wondering why the particles is not working? Does anyone tried so far?
I tried it in Max 7, Max 8, Max 2009 but to no avail. :(

Quoted for agreement! It would be a shame to loose these tools, so if someone like Dave could have a copy of the source code, that would be a good thing for everyone.

use script:

Sand_Blaster Particle_Activation:0 Target_Amount:1 Render_Activation:0 Optimization:1 Viewport_Type:1

it works!

Ya...this is very cool. Using some of these I do wish they were available for 2009.

Send them an email! I already wrote asking about the possibility of doing recompiles the day they released them, if a few other people also ask maybe they will start thinking about it...
