Key features of 3D Studio Max :• Polygon, spline, and non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) modeling capabilities enable efficient creation of parametric and organic objects.
• The Graphite modeling toolset, with over 100 polygon modeling and 3D freeform creation tools, opens up the creative possibilities.
• ProOptimizer technology provides high precision control of edges and points of the modeled object. The number of selected objects can be reduced by up to 75 percent without reducing detail.
• Mesh smoothing and subdivision surface tools allow you to fine-tune fine details and optimize meshes for interactive manipulation and rendering.
• Creative texture manipulation capabilities including tiling, mirroring, decals, blurring, splinting, UV stretching, dewarping, UV fixing, UV template export, and more.
• Slate's Material Editor lets you model shading of any complexity using extensive libraries of textures, images, material samples, and procedural textures.
• The render to texture feature allows you to "bake" the material and lighting parameters of each object into new texture maps.
• Animation – Advanced tools help you create intelligent, believable characters and produce high-quality animation:
• Character Animation Toolkit (CAT), bipedal creature and crowd animation tools allow for efficient procedural animation and rigging.
• Skin and CAT Muscle modifiers allow precise and smooth control of skeletal deformation when moving bones.
• You can rig complex machines and characters with custom skeletons using 3ds Max bones, inverse kinematics (IK) solvers, and custom rigging tools.
• Combining one- or two-way relationships between controllers allows you to create simplified animation interfaces.
• CAT, Biped and 3ds Max objects can be animated using layers, allowing you to work with very dense motion capture data without breaking keyframes.
• Built-in clothing modeling module allows you to transform almost any 3D object into clothing, as well as create clothing items from scratch. They can then be modified and animated.
• You can apply fur, hair, and other strand-based effects (like grass) and control their stylization and animation with great precision.
• You can develop complex event-driven particle effects (such as water, fire, splashes, or snow) and control them using expressions, scripts, and direct manipulation.
• Rendering – Powerful 3D rendering capabilities help you get stunning quality images in less time:
• You can produce high-quality pre-visualization, animation, and marketing materials using the innovative, high-performance Quicksilver renderer.
• The mental ray® renderer lets you quickly set up photorealistic lighting and custom shaders.
• Unlimited batch rendering capabilities in mental ray allow you to efficiently use network resources and render faster.
• The Reveal™ system allows you to visualize specific areas both in the viewport and in the frame buffer.
• Simultaneously output the results of multiple render passes, including high dynamic range (HDR) images from architectural and design materials, into the 3ds Max® Composite module.
• Workflow integration – Import data from multiple sources and seamlessly transfer Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk 3ds Max Design data across files, applications, users, and workstations:
• Autodesk® FBX® technology enables data exchange with leading 3D applications, including Autodesk® Maya®, a 3D animation, modeling, visual effects, rendering and compositing program; Autodesk® Mudbox™, a 3D digital sculpting and texture painting program; and Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, a building design program.
• Non-destructive file linking procedures allow you to efficiently work with changes to original design data created in Autodesk applications that support FBX export.
• Import solids data from Autodesk® Inventor® 3D CAD software directly into Autodesk 3ds Max and Autodesk 3ds Max Design.
·Ability to merge data from over 30 2D and 3D formats including 3ds, AI, DEM, XML, DDF, DWG, DXF, FBX, DAE, IGES, IPT, IAM, OBJ, STL, VRML, FLT, SAT and SKP.
• You can improve scene performance and reduce memory consumption by temporarily unloading containers from the viewport while maintaining their relationship with the scene and loading them back as needed.
• You can move, delete, copy and save container nodes.
• You can use containers to override object properties when organizing a scene without affecting the layer organization (similar to working with nested layers).
The ability to link containers created by different users into a single scene, as well as modify containers created by other users, makes collaboration more flexible and prevents unauthorized changes.
