Ephere Cortex

that is really awesome!!!

btw I tried to acces the zookeeper section on www.ephere.com but it does not work...

keep posting some more cortex stuff!

I can't wait to see where this goes, or what people make and share with it.

NICE......

If you need a beta tester, PLEASE give me a chance!

About this point... to only use (read-only) a plugin created with Cortex, is it necessary for Cortex to be installed, or does it compile the plugin into a dll?

Like I've said before... I want to make love to it! It's awesome!

so with cortex i could create in realtime plugins for max?....or in other words could it create plugin files for using my "creation" on other workstations or on the renderfarm?
looks very very cool

Can you please let me know which page that was? I tried all Zookeeper sections and they seem to work OK here.


No, you will only need Coden adapter plugin installed and we will be making that available free under a "non-development" license.


Yes and yes Plugins can be either one-time off instances (you create an object and edit its algorithm in-place and its saved right inside your scene) and/or you can save it so it acts like a plugin, so next time you just create the same object from the create/modify panel (or wherever else in Max UI). You can also distribute that plugin file to other people and render nodes. Who knows, maybe even other applications or stand-alone in the future

as written before: this looks great!

This really is the just about the only thing I've seen for Max that's made me really want it in absolutely ages!

^^^ agree!

I can't wait for more info. I gathered from those autodesk webcasts that Max was getting something like this as part of Excalibur though.

From what I saw in the XBR webinar we may see something similar to ICE or ZooKeeper (schematic views to manage/access data that exists in a 3ds Max scene) coming from Autodesk, but nothing related to developing new tools and plugins using node based workflows.

After 10 years of max and the last few lackluster versions, I have been getting the grass is greener with a different 3d package feeling. This changes my mind somewhat.

This looks extremely cool. I would love to be able to test this too.

I would love to help you test this one Marcel.

More sneak previews please!
