According to nvidia, a 64-bit SDK are available in Summer 2009. Can you say something about that? Thanks Posted: Sun May 03, 2009 7:49 am Oleg Site Admin Joined: 26 Sep 2004 Posts: 5142 Location: The Hundredth Town, USA Box#2 with PhysX works on both 32- and 64-bit, regardless whether 64-bit PhysX SDK is available or not. Box#2 has a proprietary SDK wrapper that extends PhysX usage to 64-bit platforms. Thanks, Oleg B. _________________ The Particles Caregiver Posted: Sun May 03, 2009 8:17 am Michael2009 Joined: 03 May 2009 Posts: 6 great, thank you oleg Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 4:12 am Michael2009 Joined: 03 May 2009 Posts: 6 Oleg, Is there a final date when Box # 2 will be released? And when a demo will be available? Would like to try and buy Thank you Posted: Wed May 13, 2009 5:31 am Oleg Site Admin Joined: 26 Sep 2004 Posts: 5142 Location: The Hundredth Town, USA Quote: Is there a final date when Box # 2 will be released? ETA - end of this month. Quote: And when a demo will be available? A demo version won't be available for a while. Instead, there will be a video that demonstrates usage of the plug-in, and misc. example animations (with *.max files) to show the range of applicability, like this one.

Looking forward to buy it But, i have seen.... Particle Flow Tools: Box#2 Pro: " Host Version: 3ds max R9 -> 2010, 32- and 64-bit; Not compatible with 3ds max 64-bit on Vista 64, WinXP 64 is okay; Requires Creativity Extension for 3ds max 2009 " Why is it not compatible with Vista 64Bit Oleg? Fortunately, I have XP 64bit Thank you Michael Posted: Wed Jun 03, 2009 2:58 pm Oleg Site Admin Joined: 26 Sep 2004 Posts: 5142 Location: The Hundredth Town, USA As you may know, PhysX SDK is only available in 32-bit at the moment - that restricts the usage of PhysX drivers in 32-bit applications only. Nevertheless, we (Orbaz) were able to create a special PhysX wrapper to allow the usage of PhysX drivers in 64-bit application, like 3ds max 64-bit. The whole construct is like a wolf in sheep's clothing. The trick works in WinXP 64. However, Vista 64 is very paranoid, and it does not allow that. That's where the restriction is coming from. Once NVIDIA releases the true 64-bit PhysX SDK, the limitation will be lifted. So, the plug-in is compatible with 3ds Max 32-bit on Vista 64, but not with 3ds Max 64-bit on Vista 64. All other combinations work. Don't know about Win 7 64-bit.

This is terrible, our workstations all have Vista Ultimate 64 Sorry, only this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116378 Or, stick to 3ds Max 32-bit till NVIDIA publishes 64-bit PhysX SDK.
