News about GMAX being cancelled ... true or false ?
Posted 08-Oct-2005 9:56 AM

To my surprise, I am reading this morning on the Discreet site the following news.

Product Information

As of October 6, 2005, Autodesk will no longer offer Gmax® software as a stand-alone product. If you are interested in other 3D animation, modeling, and rendering applications from Autodesk please check out Autodesk® 3ds Max® software. You can download a free 30-day trial, view product demonstrations, read customer success stories, and get more information about this powerful, versatile product.

Sadly, this seams like an official statement about GMAX being cancelled but there is only one part of that news which is a bit odd. The "as a stand-alone product" part makes me wonder. Do they mean that GMAX is still available through some other package or form ?

I will get to the bottom of this and get back to you guys. We, the moderators, were not informed of this.

So in the mean time, DO NOT SPREAD PANIC ABOUT THIS UNTIL I HAVE CLEARED THIS OUT !

GMAX isn't cancelled

They are waiting to get all technical infos of WIndows Vista to find out how much work is involved to update GMAX so it runs on it. I am guessing this means no GMAX release until Fall-2006

Golly gee wiz, do the TS visitors read the forums before they ask these questions?!

I get e-mail on this question almost every day.

THis is what Browser Ice is trying to state to us:

GMAX is NOT cancelled

Sorry Browser Ice, but they finally got into my head. I couldn't resist repeating you.
