The average modeler/graphic artist doesn't have an MSDN subscription either and Vista migration is slow by most. It still hasn't been a full month since the official Vista release, so don't be so hasty. Don't forget the market aspect of any business. No market, no money/time spent.
Besides any serious company isn't going to make the jump to Vista just because it's new. They wouldn't move to Vista until all their tools are ready for it (which cost far much more money and time to learn to use) can also make that move to Vista. I'd wager most of them would rather it work right than right now anyway. Besides, most rendering farms need all the spare CPU power they can get, and Vista just gobbles away even more of it than XP.
In other words, there's no real benefit to it other than it's the latest and coolest toy. Give it time, I'm sure they'll do something about it soon enough. And if you need to use Max, then don't use Vista - problem solved.

I have 1000+
I live in the black market capital of the world, you can buy a DVD here for less than a UK postage stamp. Infact, it would be quite impressive if you could even find a legit copy.

I've got the code for the soft-shadows and self-shadowing, but I don't want to pull it out and run dot products all night. There is a new shadow technique I want to try and may next week on this... but I just wanted to do something that was less than an hour total time paying half-attention to it and other things.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/samurai_cat/392705925/[^] should be a little closer... I need to do true self-shadowing with one of the new techniques, and also add a nice shader-based "glow" to match the white aura around Bob in the main logo. Another time though... I am off...

It only took a month of asking, but it's finally here 
Now I hope we have a decent place to discuss 2D, 3D, OpenGL and Direct3D, 3D algorithms, and general rendering techniques.

I think you said,I suggest a forum graphuic now here your answer.But It seems it doesnt for 3D max and...
The Code Project discussion boards - Graphics
DirectX, OpenGL and GDI/GDI+ discussions

I'm pretty sure the name 'Graphics' was chosen simply because 'DirectX, OpenGL, GDI,GDI+, ASCII-ART and 3DMAX but definatly not PHP' would be a little too long.

WPF? SVG? VG.net? DirectX? etc...? All of the above?
