Anyone Tried GMAX, free 3ds Max 4 for Gamers?

Say, has anyone tried GMAX from Discreet?

It's a free version of 3d Studio Max 4, non-commercial use.

My brother was telling me about this yesterday.. He hasn't used it but apparently it's been built with Game Modders in mind, so the Game Creators can build a plugin for it to work out some type of conversion so your models will work better in game.

I don't really know much about 3D stuff myself though.

Sounds interesting, who's tried it?

I use it. I'm using the "Tempest Pack" from ID to make Quake3 levels. I already use 3DSMax, but the GMAX modeler would be great for someone learning to model in Max, it has the same basic feature set.

Its the same as Max 4 - just without the render menu. You can export models to any format through the Tempest Q3 add on pack, just save it and then convert it to whatever you want.
