3DS-MAX 2018: What’s New?

Autodesk 3ds-Max 2018 is all about improved productivity so users can work more efficiently and creatively with modeling, animation, rendering and workflow updates.

Smart Asset Packaging allows users to create, share, and update portable assets that are flexible, connected, and react to changes in design data.

Customizable Workspaces offer a more responsive, modern, and personalized user experience, and Blended Box Map gives users the ability to morph visible seams by blending as many as six materials applied to an object.

Finally, version 1.0 of the MAXtoA plug-in is integrated into 3ds Max 2018, giving artists access to Arnold’s latest features.

The Blended Box Map allows users to blend up to 6 different materials applied to an object by morphing visible seams. This tool helps users texture a complex model made of multiple objects or numerous objects that require similar mapping without worrying about UV workflows.

The Data Channel Modifier allows users to derive information directly from their model and then use it to drive other types of modifications. This simplifies tasks such as smoothing objects based on curvature and making a vertex color mask based on an angle, as examples.

With many new and enhanced features you can see there is a wide variety of new functionality in 3ds-Max 2018 with new tools and capabilities so that users can work more efficiently and creatively with modeling, animation, rendering, and workflow updates.
