3ds Max is a professional 3D modeling, rendering, and animation application that allows for the creation of a vast universe and first-class design.
With the help of the 3ds Max program, you can create professional 3D animations with high quality, renders and realistic models. It is an effective tool that will help you create high-quality 3D content very quickly. 3ds Max has powerful tools for creating and rendering 3D content that allow you to achieve high-quality professional 3D animations and models:
Create, model, and define a wide variety of scenes and characters with powerful yet easy-to-use modeling tools
3ds Max is compatible with most rendering engines – including Arnold, V-Ray, Iray, and mental ray – to create exceptional scenes and visualizations.
Create imaginary characters and realistic scenes for games or architecture to animate in 3D as realistically as possible.
Incorporate 3Ds Max into your visualization workflow for programs like Revit, Inventor, Fusion 360, and Stingray, as well as SketchUp, Unity, Unreal, and more!
What is 3ds Max?
3ds Max is a professional 3D modeling, rendering, and animation application that enables the creation of vast universes and premium designs.
• Bring atmospheres and landscapes to life with robust modeling tools.
• Create finely detailed models and scenery with intuitive texturing and shading tools.
• Iterate and create professional-quality renders with full artistic control
What you can do with 3ds Max
Whether you're building a vast gaming universe or visualizing complex architectural models, 3ds Max has the modeling toolset you need to bring 3D objects to life.
3ds Max 2023 Features
3D modeling
Retopology Tools
Automatically reconstruct polygon mesh data as a 4-vertex polygon topology with uncompromised accuracy. These tools can be used to reduce complex high-resolution objects and enhance generative design and traditional modeling within 3ds Max.
Smart Extrusion
Interactively extrude faces of 3D objects using flexible smart extrusion operations such as cut and overlap. It automatically reconstructs and merges adjacent faces without the need to manually correct hidden faces or geometry.
Mesh and Surface Modeling
Create parametric and organic objects with polygon modeling, surface subdivision, and spline functions.
Stack Modifier Workflow
Quickly conceptualize, iterate, and explore design ideas using a set of unique modifiers.
Spline Workflow
Create and animate geometry in several intuitive ways using the spline tool.
Texturing and coloring
Open Shading Language (OSL) support.
Generate high-quality textures that display right in the viewport using new or existing OSL maps with any supported rendering engine.
Bake to Texture
Apply effects to complex surfaces (baking to texture) in an optimized, intuitive way and with full scripting support, with support for PBR (physically based rendering) materials, replacement changes and OSL workflows.
Material Editor
Add coatings, change textures, and use vibrant colors to create photorealistic designs.
Lights
Illuminate and enhance scenes using photometric lights and standard lights.
3D rendering
Built-in Arnold Rendering
It uses the Arnold GPU renderer to visualize changes to the scene in real time, including lighting, materials, and camera.
Interactive View
It reduces design iteration through rendering quality visualizations, direct display of PBR (physically based rendering) materials, and special camera effects.
Vviewport ActiveShade
Through interactive rendering, visualize the scene with near-final rendering quality, even while you work.
Physical Camera
Simulates real camera settings such as shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, and exposure.
Scene Converter
Seamlessly and consistently change materials, lights, cameras, and renders from one scene to another.
Animation and effects
Character Animation Tools
Create real-time character animation and manipulate them with CAT (Character Animation Tools), bipedal and crowd tools.
Motion Paths
Visualize and adjust animation paths directly in the viewport.
3ds Max Fluid
Create realistic fluid behavior, such as water, oil, and lava, as well as reproduce gravity and collision effects.
Particle Flow Effects
Create complex particle effects like water, fire, splashes, and snow.
Extensive add-on library
Access hundreds of third-party plugins from industry leaders in our extensive community.
Work processes
Software Security
Use Safe Scene Script Execution to protect your work against malicious scripts that may be part of scene files, and malware removal functionality that detects and removes known malicious scripts from scene files and startup scripts.
Python 3
Get tighter integration with Python 3 support.
User Interface and Modern Workspaces
Create your own personalized workspaces with a more modern user interface, more responsive, and ready for high DPI resolutions.
GL Transmission Format (glTF) Support
Publish 3ds Max scene assets to 3D glTF content for use in web applications, online stores, browser games, and other online sites.
