- mRigids Rigid-Body Dynamics
Benefits
- 3ds Max helps you add realistic dynamic motion to your scenes with Particle Flow system, integrated Hair, Fur, and Cloth systems.
- You can add photo-realistic quality to your work with powerful lighting, shading, and rendering tools.
- Graphite, an extensive polygon modelling toolset combines freeform sculpting, texture painting, and advanced polygonal modelling with a highly efficient user interface.
What's New
- With enhanced interoperability between 3ds Max and Adobe After Effects, you can look forward to a more productive workflow while maintaining high quality 2D / 3D data exchange.
- Working with Adobe Photoshop is now more flexible as output renderings in a layered PSD format retain layer order, opacity and blend modes.
- The new render pass system makes it possible to segment scenes for downstream compositing more easily.
- With the Slate Compositing Editor you can now make simple compositing operations directly within 3ds Max.
- The new ActiveShade support for NVIDIA iray renderer lets you fine-tune scenes with speed and ease.
- Enhancements to the MassFX system of simulation solvers has created a more integrated and accurate toolset that will help improve any workflow.
- For better access to the viewports, it is now possible to create and switch between a number of viewport layout configurations with tabbed layouts.
- Customise your workspace with individual settings for menus, toolbars, ribbon and viewport tab presets.
- By changing the tangency of the existing animation curve, animators can now retime portions of animations to increase or decrease speed.
- It is now possible to transfer existing characters structures, definitions and animations between software packages with the Autodesk HumanIK solver.
- The ‘Small Annoying Things’ forum is great place to learn or suggest workflow improvements.
