2021.1.1 Release
Today I'm happy to announce the release of version 2021.1.1 of the Cycles for Max plugin. This version adds support for 3ds Max 2023 and also includes updated third-party libraries. If you are already using Version 2021.1.0, this update is non-essential.
You can get the latest version on the Download page.
Along with this update, I have added some stills from the film RRR to the Gallery page. Thanks to Makuta VFX for providing these images.
