will this work with Max 8 as well?


I think so, Michael. It will work in any version since the projection modifier was added, which I think debuted in 8 (though I could be wrong).

If Chip doesn't have time to do one, I might be able to in two or three months. I'm planning a couple of video tutorials for SculptGenMax and Prim Composer.

Once I'm in the zone with creating them. It shouldn't be that big a deal for me to create one for this. No promises, but I'll see what I can do.

As far as I know, Maya doesn't have an equivelent to Max's Projection modifier, so no. I'm not a Maya user so I can't tell you for certain, but that's what others have told me.


Shack, you're more than welcome to do a video tutorial version of this if the mood strikes you. That would rock. :)
