Yes, current 1.06 plug-in doesn’t support 3ds Max 2010. 2.0 will do.

I am currently running Max 2010 on a Windows 7 OS, With plug-in 1.0.6 I am getting an error, ‘error opening file for writing nvRegDev.dll’ Will 2.0 allow me to install it with the newer software?

Well, even current DCC toolset support hardware acceleration for some features – cloth, for example.

As for GPU Rigid Bodies, no data currently.. probably not until PhysX SDK itself will support them completely.

will it get GPU acceleration by any chance ?
I have no experience with the current DCC tools, but
I assume it may get quite heavy on the CPU when previewing animations full of physics…

maybe I’m wrong though.
