Has anyone tried out Gmax yet? I've installed Gmax 1.1 and it looks great but I haven't actually tried making anything yet. I have been using Moray until now. The best thing about Gmax is that its free and designed for game modders (like us).
You can get it at

This is what the blurb on the site says about it (in part):
"Based on the world's best selling 3D modeling, animation and rendering platform,
3ds max™, gmax™ is actually two distinct products:
1. gmax, available free of charge from the web for consumers, allows game players to create, customize, and exchange their own game content Online.
2. gmax developer Version for 3ds max 4 (aka gmax dev) is Discreet's new game development platform aimed at level and game designers. It allows game companies to shorten development time and offers the potential to increase sales and extend the life of their game titles by the optional distribution of gmax "game packs."
