The target audience for 3ds max 4 Fundamentals is users new to computer graphics and animation for whom 3ds max 4 is the tool of choice.
The 3ds max 4 application is a major upgrade from version 3.1, and although much of the interface hasn't changed, there are enough new features and enhancements to give pause to experienced users and probably stop new users in their tracks.
3ds max 4 Fundamentals is a tutorial- reference in which the basic concepts of 3D representation and 3ds max are explored, with special attention given to new and upgraded features of the new release.

 GameDev.net - Product Review - 3ds max 8 Review
3ds Max 8 also offers this new feature called Scene States that lets you set up and save a scene using a particular set of lights, materials, and objects and then completely change the look of the scene and save it as a new scene state.
Max has always had a great set of modeling features and several new additions make 3ds Max 8 even easier to model great characters and environments.
Now that Max and Maya are under the same roof, we'll have to see if the aggressive release schedule will be maintained, if the two products will be rolled into the same package, or if features unique to each package will begin to appear in the other.

 ZBrush to 3ds Max - ZBrushInfo
An alternative way of returning to the original 3ds Max shape, which does not require storing a morph target, is simply to reload the 3ds Max model after sculpting, as the level 1 mesh of your sculpted model.
Note: If your base mesh is already rigged and cannot be changed in 3ds Max, export the ZBrush level 1 mesh as an OBJ import into your 3ds Max scene, and add it as a parallel blendshape to reshape the original mesh to the Level 1 form exported from ZBrush.
When comparing your 3ds Max renders with the ZBrush view port it is important to note that in ZBrush the diffuse channel of the material is governed by a curve.
