3ds Max 9 Forum

Well, I've tried loads of things, but finally managed to install 3ds max 9 with 10.0.1 crossover mac version. Screen is buggy, u need to refressh it everytime when u change something, that is sick. I didn't tried 3rd party plugins. also quick time render is buggy, i prefer image sequence render like png, jpeg.

In Ubuntu, everything works li,ke a charm. I suggest u to use 3ds Max 9 with Ubuntu or another Linux.

What works:[/b]

install, render, plugins, viewport... everything I've tested.

[b]what doesn't work:

[/b]activation screen. Try portable license utility for activation.
screen is buggy in Mac version, u need to refresh screen with a panel(like material or render).
I couldn't manage quick time export. But u can export ur projets as image sequence. I suggest png.

I keep getting problems with the licencing system. it tells me that it is missing and can't continue. How did you overcome this problem?

I suggest u to use Portable License Utility.

With virtual machine or another Windows PC install 3ds Max 9, activate ur license. Later use portable License Utility to export license for ur Linux machine. İn linux machine, use portable license utility & add license. With this u can register ur 3ds max in ur Linux machine.

If u have more bugs; before install 3ds max 9, install dotnet 2.0, directx, 2005 C++ in the same bottle.
