Hi -lo!

I am using Max 2009 Design - and learning to use MR.

I saw these materials (link below) over at the Mental Images site - they appear to be only for Max 2010 - bummer!! I won't be able to upgrade for some time (dang economy and Dave Ramsey!) so my question is - is there a library for Max 2009? I had a look around the site but didn't see anything.

I would be very interested in gathering some of these free materials - for use and for disassembling to learn. ;)

Thanks - Dodge

One of the best free sites is:

If you are uncertain how to install/use the materials Jeff has a great video tut here ->

Have fun!
