3dsmax 2009 UI Sweetness 

Autodesk 3dsmax 2009
Had a chance to take a closer look at the 3sdmax 2009 interface. Just wanted to comment on how beautifully the navigation systems are coming along. I am really impressed with how well 3Dsmax is maturing. Can't wait to see what they do next.

HTML To Any Script Converter Templates 


Always in search of ways to automate things, easy HTools Easy HTML To Any Script Converter (freeware) is one of my favorites for easy conversion of HTML Files and HTML Code Blocks (and Text) to other formats. Below are a few templates I created using the software.

The only change I would really make in the software is better support for wrapping comments, but hey it is freeware right.
