Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
Whether you’re looking to create differentiated 3D assets for games or stunning visual effects for the latest box office attraction, Autodesk 3ds Max 2012 offers inspiring new creative toolsets that will enhance your workflows and help you meet demanding deadlines.
At the core of the new improvements is an accelerated graphics core that increases productivity, new iray rendering tools from mental images and rigid-body dynamics and cutting-edge tools.
Autodesk 3ds Max offers powerful 3D modelling, animation, rendering, and compositing capabilities, giving you all the tools you need to produce professional quality 3D animation more easily and in less time.
Features
- Lightweight, resolution-independent procedural textures
- Extensive polygon modelling
- Multi-threaded rigid-body dynamics
- Physically accurate “point-and-shoot” iray® renderer from mental images
- Nitrous accelerated graphics core
- 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
- The newly integrated iray® rendering technology from mental images enables you to get more predictable, photo-real images. You can set up your scene, press “render”, and get more predictable, photo-real results without worrying about rendering settings—similar to a “point-and-shoot“ camera.
- New single-step suites interoperability offers faster workflows between 3ds Max and Mudbox 2012, MotionBuilder 2012 software, and the Softimage 2012 software’s Interactive Creation Environment (ICE).
- Enhancements to 3dsMax’s Nitrous accelerated graphics core to help you create spectacular images faster.
- New enhanced UVW unwrapping offers more streamlined workflows.
- New support for Vector Displacement Maps (VDMs) in 3ds Max allows you to use mental ray® or iray rendering technology to render complex high-resolution details created in Mudbox 2012 etc.
- 1,200 real-world Autodesk Materials and 80 new Substance procedural textures will help you achieve more realistic results.
