3ds max 2009 - Anyone tried it yet?

    Did any of you guys switched over to max 2009? I heard there are some new cool features in the UV editor, but I'm afraid some of my 3rd party scripts won't work on it. Any thoughts/bugs/annoyances?

    I gave lessons in it at Game Development Camp 2008 and as usual there were second to no changes from Max 8, which is what I'm used to.

    Why don't you get the trial?

    I tested it for a few days just briefly. The thing is, it seems to be a bit unstable. When I loaded a large highpoly into it, it crashed quite often and unexpected under the workload (on top of a very slow perspective window), while max 2008 doesn't. Rendering is noticeable faster though (only used lighttracer).

    I'm currently using max8 and it's very unstable sometimes, specially when you are dealing with DX9 shaders. But yeah I'll give the trial a try =) Just wanted to hear your thoughts before.
