We have just updated Zookeeper and Max.NET documentation to include instructions for performing manual installs (without requiring the installer). We welcome any comments and suggestions on this new functionality. The documents can be found here:

With under 2 weeks to go until Siggraph conference in LA we are planning demos, get togethers, and studio visits in the area. We will be at the show floor and would like the opportunity to do private demonstrations for Zookeeper or other projects to anyone interested.
If you are attending Siggraph and would like to meet us please drop us a line!
We have just updated the project versioning system on this website. With the new system multiple versioned builds are available to download at the same time. You can now download all of our projects (Max.NET and ZK at the moment) in either latest version or revert to an older one. There is more to come in this category in the future!
Zookeeper and Max.NET videos are now available on YouTube and Vimeo. We will be adding more videos to these channels as they become available. These will also be available of our website at all times.
For those attending End User Event 2010 in Utrecht make sure to check out Michael's Zookeeper presentation (at 13:30). There's still a lot of time to register for the event.
If you have any additional questions please contact us!
We are proud to announce the 1.4 release of Zookeeper for 3dsmax. After taking in a lot of feedback we have improved Zookeeper's layout, speed, and ease of use significantly since 1.3. However, the major improvement in 1.4 is the addition of State Sets- a new way of working with your 3dsmax scenes.
Besides providing a robust and easy to use render pass management system state sets go a long way toward generally improving your workflow- from viewport and node layout to rendering and animation setup. We have created a video to help you understand this concept:
We are also pleased to announce that Zookeeper now officially supports 3dsmax versions 2009 through 2011. This update is free to all our current customers and is available immediatealy among our semi-weekly updates.
If you have any questions or comments please contact us.
Heads up to everyone going to AAUGA today at NEOSCAPE. Michael will be demoing Zookeeper in Presentation 2 and showing some cool stuff from the schematic workflow to latest state sets functionality.
As usual, feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or comments!
