Autodesk 3ds Max is professional 3D modelling, rendering, and animation software that empowers users to create expansive worlds and premium designs. With robust modelling tools, intuitive texturing and shading features, and the ability to produce high-quality renders with full artistic control, 3ds Max offers a rich and flexible toolset for creators.
Key Features:
- Polygon Modelling: Create 3D props, vehicles, and characters with geometry based on vertices, edges, and faces.
- Procedural Modelling: Quickly build complex surfaces for cityscapes, forests, and landscapes using automated modelling.
- Interactive Viewports: Reduce design iterations with render-quality viewport previews of PBR materials and camera effects.
- High-Quality Materials: Make realistic objects with Physically Based Rendering, Open Shading Language, and Bake to Texture.
- Integrated Arnold Renderer: Render complex scenes and designs with Arnold for 3ds Max.
- Multiple File Format Support: Easily share assets with support for file formats like glTF, USD, FBX, CAD formats, and more.
Features of 3ds Max 2024:
- Retopology tools: Enhance designs with uncompromising accuracy by automatically reconstructing polygonal mesh data into clean quad-based topology.
- Smart Extrude: Interactively extrude faces on 3D objects using flexible extrude operations like cut-through and overlap.
- Mesh and surface modelling: Create parametric and organic objects with polygon, subdivision surface, and spline-based modelling features.
- Modifier stack workflow: Conceptualise, iterate, and explore design ideas using a range of robust modifiers that are non-destructive and easy to use.
- Spline workflows: Create curved or angular 3D shapes using several intuitive spline tools.
- Open Shading Language (OSL) support: Generate high-quality textures that display accurately in the viewport using OSL maps with any supported renderer.
- Bake to texture: Streamlined, intuitive, and fully scriptable texture baking with support for PBR materials, overrides, and OSL workflows.
- Material editor: Add material finishes, change textures, and use vibrant colours to create photorealistic designs.
- Lighting: Illuminate and enhance scenes using photometric lights and standard lights.
- Integrated Arnold renderer: View scene changes in real-time with the Arnold GPU renderer, including lighting, materials, and camera.
- Interactive viewports: Reduce design iteration with render-quality viewport previews displaying PBR materials and camera effects directly.
- ActiveShade viewport: See scenes in near-final rendering quality as you work.
- Physical camera: Simulate real-life camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, and exposure.
- Scene converter: Seamlessly change materials, lights, cameras, and renderers.
- Character animation tools: Create procedural character animations and rigs with CAT, biped, and crowd tools.
- Motion paths: Preview and adjust animation paths directly in the viewport.
- Realistic fluids: Create realistic behaviours and replicate gravity and collision effects for liquids like water, oil, and lava.
- Particle flow effects: Produce sophisticated particle effects such as water, fire, spray, and snow.
- Extensive plug-in library: Access hundreds of industry-leading, third-party plug-ins.
- Software security: Protect your work against malicious scripts with Safe Scene Script Execution and Malware Removal functionality.
- Python 3 support: Tighter pipeline integration with Python 3.
- Pipeline integration support: Easily customise 3ds Max to fit your production pipeline needs.
- Modern UI and workspaces: Create custom workspaces with a modern, responsive, high-DPI-ready user interface.
