Disney Animation Studio brings The Foundry's Mari to work with Paint 3D.

The Foundry has entered into a unique relationship with Walt Disney Animation Studios to advance 3D texture painting techniques announced Bill Collis, CEO, The Foundry. 

Boomer Labs announces the release of their new production tool SuperMesher.

SuperMesher - Single License
SuperMesher is a 3DSMax plugin that allows you to cache animated geometry regardless of its topology and number of objects including pFlow particles. The cache is baked out to a separate file which can be loaded into any version of MAX 2009 or higher. No reference is held to the original objects so they can be deleted or modified without consequence. Because the result is one single mesh, SuperMesher automatically generates appropriate material IDs and Multi-Sub materials. 

The plugin is available in both 32bit and 64bit versions for MAX 2009, 2010 and 2011.
