Given the amount of progress on getting 3D games to work well under wine/proton lately, I wonder if it’s possible/practical to run 3ds Max under it yet? The only test results I can find for it are ancient.
Absofuckinglutely not unless your hobby is CBT via software. You don’t have time to fuck around with inane shit like running software on the wrong operating system when you’re working on a project, and who the hell actually wants to even bother with it when you’re not? Software like this uses so many different system hooks dating back so far that I don’t even know if Wine can handle the level of backwards compatibility Max would need.
Persistent rumor is that a lot of the core code is holdover from 3D Studio DOS days. That’s so fucking old even I haven’t used it.
