We get a lot of updates on splines lately, on this tutorial I try to explain all this news.
Best computer for 3ds max
I get a lot of questions about what computer I use, what is the best for 3ds max. So here you have a video, hope answer this questions:
Best 3D Software for every artist.
We will go through the most used 3d packages. Check the strengths of each one, to orient new people in what software they should use based on goals and usages.
Programs that we will check are 3ds max, Houdini, Maya, Blender, Modo and cinema 4d.
I will talk about the most software based on industry, as well as some personal opinions about them.
Let me know on the comments what do you use, and why is the best tool for your job.

I put together some techniques I use to work faster in 3dsmax, hope you can learn something new!
Houdini vs TP
With Goran Pavles we start a series of tutorials covering APF in TP and comparing them with Houdini, a lot of fun!

Thinking Particles 6.6 new features
I have been betatesting TP 6.6 almost for a year, and is finally here! I did a video explained all new features on this new and great upgrade. What you can do with APF, turbulence node, new ways to export alembic, improvements on multiple nodes, bug fixes, etc…
Fluids inside 3dsmax!
We have finally fluids incorporated in 3dsmax with the new release 208.3! They are called “Fluids”, its basically bifrost, or what before was called Naiad. I joined 3dsmax as a betatester, and I play with this for some time now. And Im quite excited. Easy and clean interface, fast to setup, new Motion Field force, that works not only with fluids but with any mesh or particle system (yes, also with TP!) And is a joy to use. Also the direct PRT export is great. Here some videos I did:

10 things you dont know about TP 6.5
I did a combination of 10 different new features or fixes in TP 6.5 that maybe are not evident, and can be very useful. Let me know what do you think!
