3DMAX 2016

3DMAX It is a PC based 3D animation modeling, animation, rendering and production software of Autodesk. The Chinese version of 3dmax 2016 is a very excellent 3D animation modeling, animation, rendering and production software. The Chinese version of 3dmax 2016 has a simple and beautiful interface, powerful and practical functions, and is widely used in architecture, film and television, games, and animation. It is simple and convenient to use, and can effectively improve the efficiency of work.

Introduction to Software Basics

Introduction to Autodesk 3Ds MAX Design Series:
Since 2009, 3dsmax has been divided into two versions, 3dsmax and 3dsmax Design. 3dsmax and 3dsmax3ds Max Design 2011Design are animation version or architecture industry version respectively. Design is architecture industry version. There was 3ds ViZ architecture industry version before, so 3dsmax is always related to simulation design of architecture.
3dsmax is mainly used in architecture, film and television, games and animation. It has a software development kit (SDK), which is a set of development tools used in the entertainment market. It is used to integrate software into the existing production pipeline and develop tools to cooperate with it. New improvements in biped will allow us to easily build quadrupeds. The Revealu rendering function will allow us to repeat faster, and the redesigned OBJ input will also make the conversion between 3dsmax and Mudbox easier.

3dsmax Design is mainly used in architecture, industry and drawing. It is mainly improved in lighting. It has Exposure technology used to simulate and analyze sunlight, sky and artificial lighting to assist LEED 8.1 certification. This function can analyze the sun, sky, etc. in the viewport. You can now adjust the intensity of light by color directly in the viewport.
3dsmax Design is a professional tool in architectural renderings and industrial drawings. Whether it is indoor architectural decoration renderings or outdoor architectural design renderings, the powerful functions and flexibility of 3dsmax Design are the best choice to achieve creativity.

Software features

1. Camera Sequencer

Tell great stories by more easily creating high-quality animated visualizations, animations, and movies, and more freely controlling the camera. Cut, trim, and reorder animation clips in a non-destructive manner at the camera - leaving the original data intact.

2. Double quaternion skinning

Create better skinned characters with more realistic deformations. Avoid the "bow tie" or "candy wrap" effect that usually occurs on a character's shoulders or wrists because the mesh loses volume when twisting or rotating the deformer. With this new option in the Skin modifier, you can paint a certain amount of skin's influence on the surface

3. 3D Modeling and Texturing

With the new support for OpenSubdiv (first introduced in 3ds Max 2015 Extension 1), you can now use the OpenSubdiv library open source by Pixar to represent subdivision surfaces. The library integrates Microsoft Research technology and aims to utilize parallel CPU and GPU architecture at the same time. The result is faster performance and higher subdivision levels within mesh viewports.

4. Enhanced ShaderFX

Get more shading options and improve shader interoperability between 3ds Max, Maya, and Maya LT. Create a wider range of procedural materials with new node patterns, including wavy lines, Tyson polygons, single noise, and bricks. Use the new Bump Tool node to create a normal map from a 2D grayscale image. Quickly access shaders through the Searchable Node Browser.

5. A360 rendering support

3ds Max 2016 uses the same technology as Revit and AutoCAD to provide Autodesk A360 rendering support for subscription contract customers. The A360 uses cloud computing, so you can create impressive high-resolution images without occupying the desktop or requiring professional rendering hardware. Create solar study renderings, interactive panoramas, and illumination simulations. Re render images from previously uploaded files. Easily share your files with others.

6. Physical camera

Developed in collaboration with V-Ray manufacturer Chaos Group, the new physical camera has shutter speed, aperture depth of field, exposure and other options that can simulate real camera settings. Enhanced control and other in viewport feedback make it easier to create photorealistic images and animations.

7. Support for new Iray and mental ray enhancements

Rendering photorealistic images is now easier with support for Iray and mental ray enhancements such as the expanded Iray Light Path Expressions, Iray irradiance rendering elements, and light importance sampling. UI、 Workflow and process

8、Max Creation Graph

In the user suggestion forum where customers make suggestions and vote on functions, this new node based tool creation environment is the most popular. Expand 3ds Max with geometric objects and modifiers by creating shapes in an intuitive environment similar to the Slate Material Editor. Choose from hundreds of connectable node types (operators) to create new tools and visual effects. Create new node types by saving drawings called complexes, package and share new tools, and help other users expand the tool set. Xref Renovation

Added support for non-destructive animation workflow in external references, and improved stability, making it easier to collaborate between teams and throughout the production process. Bring objects into your scene and animate them through xrefs, or edit the materials of xref objects in source files without merging objects into the scene. The local scene automatically inherits the changes made in the source file.

9. Improvements to Scene Explorer and Layer Manager

The performance and stability of the Scene Explorer and Layer Manager have been improved, and it is now easier to handle complex scenes.

10. Design Workspace

The Design Workspace makes it easier to access the main features of 3ds Max, allowing you to work with confidence. It is now easier than ever to import design data to create realistic visualizations. The design workspace uses a task-based logic system that allows easy access to object placement, lighting, rendering, modeling, and texturing tools.

11. Easier Revit and SketchUp workflows

Take advantage of the new, tighter Revit integration introduced for the first time in 3ds Max 2015 Extension 2 to import and link Revit RVT files are introduced directly into 3ds Max. Importing Revit models into 3ds Max is up to 10 times faster than before. The new integration provides enhanced features such as improved instances, additional BIM data, and multiple cameras. SketchUp users can now further design in 3ds Max by importing SketchUp 2015 files. Template system

Accelerate the scenario creation process with the help of new on-demand templates that provide standardized launch configurations. Use simple import/export options to share templates between teams and offices. Create a new template or customize an existing template for your workflow. Built in rendering, environment, lighting, and unit settings provide more accurate project results.

12. Alembic support

View large datasets in Nitrous viewports, and transfer these datasets more easily throughout the production process with the new Alembic support. Use production proven technology and move complex data in a manageable form throughout the production process. The technology can extract complex animation and simulation data to obtain a set of non procedural, application independent baked geometry results. Autodesk Conversion Framework

Autodesk Transformation Framework (ATF) simplifies data exchange between Autodesk and third-party file formats (including SolidWorks). With the ability to import Inventor constraint and link driven animation into 3ds Max in the form of baked keys, you can now create high-quality mechanical design animation without installing 3ds Max.

13. Multi touch support

3ds Max2016 has multi touch 3D navigation function, which can interact with 3D content more freely. The software supports Wacom Intuos 5 digital board, Cintiq 24HD and Cintiq Companion, and Windows 8 devices that support touch. These devices can realize natural interaction. One hand holds a pen while the other hand executes multi finger gestures to dynamically observe, pan, zoom or rotate the scene.

14. User requested small function (SURF)

As a 3ds Max user, small changes can make a big difference in your daily work. We can address up to 10 workflow barriers that 3ds Max 2016 customers identify as high priority. These user requested features include a new Viewport Selection Preview, improvements to the clipping tool, and visualization of hard edges and smooth edges. Make suggestions on functions in the user suggestion forum, and vote on current suggestions.
