I was lucky enough to experience Zookeeper in its Beta form. Now that it's been officially released, I'm not sure I could imagine the workflow in 3ds Max without it.

Having been a "Maya guy" for many years prior to switching to Max, Zookeeper is exactly the tool I've been waiting for. Having the uncanny ability to seem familiar and innovative at the same time, Zookeeper takes the node-based workflow to the next level.

I'd recommend Zookeeper to almost any 3ds Max user out there; from newbies to the most seasoned of artists.  

Thanks to Marcel and Mike to bringing this to me and to the masses. I can't wait to see what features come next!
