I've
been lucky enough to have worked on a couple of feature films using 3dsMax
& I've always wondered how many other films had effects created with
it. After much looking on
the net there
didn't seem to be one place to find out, so I decided to create my own
list. If you wish to link directly to this list please use this link http://www.groundzerofx.com/maxinfilm
I'll keep adding more material & updating the list as I get it. So
if you have worked on film using 3dsMax or have any comments please get
in touch
Note: a film listed
here with no
details means I've seen claims made on discussion forums that 3dsMax
was used but nothing has been found to to verify this.
Also
a big thanks goes to all those who have
contributed information & images etc.

"Sony
Pictures Imageworks bids on its first computer-generated title sequence
for the film Wilder Napalm. Imageworks gets the green light thanks to
the cost effectiveness of 3D Studio and its "Melt" plug-in."

"Sent
on location as an onset pre-visualization tool for the action feature
film Striking Distance, 3D Studio DOS is a hit, and Hollywood filmmakers
begin to warm to computer-generated pre-visualisation."
