Autodesk 3ds Max

Autodesk 3ds Max: Pro 3D modeling software

Autodesk 3ds Max is a professional software that offers tools for 3D modeling, animation, rendering and compositing. Autodesk 3ds Max allows digital artists to express their creativity in multiple domains such as design, video games and film production, providing a wide array of features.
Important features:
3D Modeling

Autodesk 3ds Max contains a large number of 3D modeling toolsets allowing you to: create parametric and organic objects with polygon, spline and NURBS-based modeling features, take your creativity to the next level with over 100 advanced polygonal modeling and freeform 3D design tools, define how many faces and points your object will have with ProOptimizer technology and reduce the complexity of selections down to 75% without loss of detail…etc.

Shading & Texturing

Benefit from multiple texture painting, mapping and layering options such as creative texture mapping operations (tiling, mirroring, decal placement, blurring, spline mapping, UV streching and relaxation), complex shading hierarchies design with the Slate material editor, multiple layers painting straight on 3D objects with the Viewport Canvas toolset, transforming object’s material and lighting into new texture maps with the Render to Texture function and a library with up to 1.200 material templates to choose from.

Animation
Autodesk 3ds Max brings your creations to life, enabling you to achieve realistic high-quality animations through a complex palette of tools. Use advanced functions such as the Character Animation Toolkit to control procedural animation and rigging, biped and crowd-animation functionality, the Skin Modifier and CAT Muscle to fine-tune skeletal deformation of moving bones, 3ds Max Bones, Inverse Kinematics Solvers and customizable rigging tools to create complex mechanical structures or characters with custom skeletons…etc.

Dynamics, Effects & Simulation
Develop complex dynamics and effects using the built-in cloth simulation engine to transform any 3D object into clothing or build clothes from scratch, create hair, fur, grass and other strand-based effects, design complicated event-driven particle effects such as water, fire, dust….etc.

Rendering
Use the advanced 3D rendering built-in technologies to achieve high quality images in less time and get optimal photo-real results with intuitive rendering settings using the Iray® rendering technology. Perform fast batch rendering in Mental Ray® renderer using idle processors, create pre-visualizations, animatics and marketing materials with the new Quicksilver hardware renderer and the list goes on!

Pipeline Integration
You can import data from various sources and transfer Autodesk 3ds Max data easier across file iterations, software applications, users and locations.
