I use PolyBoost religiously and I’m happy to hear, and to let you all know, that version 4 is out, free to existing users, and at it’s usual price of $154 for new purchases.  There is also a demo available, which i think is for 10 days or something.  It has been totally converted to C++ which speeds up performance and now all the tools work at the speed of native max tools. There seem to be a lot of texture enhancements in this rev as well as symmetry enhancements. Enough babble from me, here’s the video explaining all this:

I would recommend turning the sound off since there is no speaking and the music is annoying and choppy. I’ve dealt with the creator a number of times transferring my personal license and all of our work licenses to and from different versions of max. He is an incredibly nice guy and really quick to help you out. He even modified the script for me when it broke our internal .DDS exporter. What a guy!

Anyway, if you are a modeler and you want to have a much deeper tool set than what max alone gives you, I can’t recommend PolyBoost enough. Go buy it. Now. GO!!

Okay, things may look a little odd for the next few days. I’m in the process of transferring my blog to another server. To say I am not qualified to do this is the understatement of the year. It’s taking a bit more time than I had hoped, but I’m making progress.

I expect to be back up and running sometime next week, but the server may be down while the transfer is taking place. I also lost most of my database settings, but I’m hopeful that my backup will work on the new server once the site is pointing to the new location (which can take up to 72 hours).

Also, I’m going to have to change my theme since the new version of wordpress doesn’t seem to be cooperating with me. I did do a lot of questionable changes to the theme so I’m not surprised.
