Thanks for that input. It was really late when I asked the question. Mainly I came onto Afterworks like I habitually do every month or so and the front page has many posts on Maya updates but only minor bug fixes in Max side. In terms of features, there is the example of this thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1642 were a function is listed for Maya only in the current version of Fume but not Max. It seems a little odd that Max users would have to wait for a paid update for a function that is in the current Fume (for Maya).
Since I'm not familiar with the Maya implementation, I'm not ever sure if it's something I'm missing. But like many Max users, it's a little frustrating to see focus get taken off of Max development or general promotion of Maya over Max in the last couple of years across many sites and developers. I don't enjoy it because I know that some things can create self-reinforcing feedback loops--and I want to see movement more towards Max than Maya.
I'm sure it goes both ways. Maybe there are features in the Max version not in the Maya version.
I just feel it's important to share concerns when we have them.
I'm looking forward to whatever you do cook up for Fume 4, as I'm sure it will kick ass.
