When will 3ds Max 2018 be supported?

Nice catch and thank you for the feedback @REDACTEDUSER

This updated at all to 2018 yet? We have 2017 Mudbox, 2018 3ds Max and 2017 Visual Studio but it doesn't appear lumberyard is playing nice with them yet? We utilise these latest updates and will be moving to 2019 in a few months also.

We are keeping our pipeline for software updated but it appears it is lagging a little here :/

Hey @REDACTEDUSER

I totally hear ya - this has been one of the more greatly requested update from the Community and the team is working hard on making improvements to the Engine and its respective tools. I'm sorry for any inconvinences caused by this lag and I've added this to our feedback list as well. I'll update this thread as soon as I can on this topic and news :) Thanks for this perspective!

@REDACTEDUSER

Yes, I completely agree. It's extremely difficult to develop with Lumberyard, because we keep all of our tools/pipeline updated to the very latest versions of tools (and all our students download and use the very latest versions of the tools) and it's impossible to use Lumberyard, because the tools support is always at least 3-4 years behind. We can't use Visual Studio 2017/2019, or Maya 2018/2019, or 3ds Max 2018/2019.

We've abandoned Lumberyard (last school year), and we're unable to use Lumberyard this year as well, because the development tools/pipeline (for both classes and development) are not currently being supported in the latest Lumberyard.

Students are unable to install Lumberyard (or get it working) with the latest tools, and therefore we'd had to abandon Lumberyard.

I do hope that this is something that can get addressed IMMEDIATELY, and I do hope that Amazon can take this "seriously" and possibly add 3 or 4 extra Devs to the Lumberyard team that will focus 100% ONLY on adding support for the latest Visual Studio 2017/2019, Maya 2017/2018/2019, and 3ds Max 2017/2018/2019 and Mudbox 2017/2018/2019 The latest dev tools are already out, but Lumberyard is at least 4+ years behind in supporting these latest development tools. Please get this fixed. Thank-you!

2+ years have already passed, and this still hasn't been done.

The "SDK" support for Lumberyard is terrible. Lumberyard uses 2-4 year old SDK's, and the Lumberyard Development Team doesn't seem to listen (or care) and we've asked REPEATEDLY to please just take 5 minutes of your time, and update the "Lumberyard Setup Assistant" to include the latest versions of the SDK's.

I do hope that this is something that can get addressed IMMEDIATELY, and I do hope that Amazon can take this "seriously" and possibly add 3 or 4 extra Devs to the Lumberyard team that will focus 100% ONLY on adding SDK support for the latest Visual Studio 2017/2019, Maya 2017/2018/2019, and 3ds Max 2017/2018/2019 and Mudbox 2017/2018/2019 to the Lumberyard Setup Assistant. The latest dev tools are already out (from 3rd party vendors), but Lumberyard is at least 4+ years behind in supporting these latest development tools. Please get this fixed. Thank-you!

Hey @REDACTEDUSER

I do hope that this is something that can get addressed IMMEDIATELY, and I do hope that Amazon Lumberyard Dev Team can take this "seriously" and possibly add 3 or 4 extra Devs to the Lumberyard team that will focus 100% ONLY on adding support for the latest SDK's and the latest Development Tools: Visual Studio 2017/2019, Maya 2017/2018/2019, and 3ds Max 2017/2018/2019 and Mudbox 2017/2018/2019 development tools to the "Lumberyard Setup Assistant". The latest dev tools are already out (for several years now), but Lumberyard is at least 3 - 4+ years behind in supporting these latest development tools (and third-party SDKs) in the Lumberyard Setup Assistant.

Also as @REDACTEDUSER

Please ask the Lumberyard Devs to take the time to update the "Lumberyard Setup Assistant" to include Visual Studio 2017/2019, Maya 2017/2018/2019, and 3ds Max 2017/2018/2019 and Mudbox 2017/2018/2019 development tools/SDKs to the "Lumberyard Setup Assistant".

Please get this fixed. Thank-you!
