Speed the creation
3ds Max® 2019 introduces new features that speed the creation of intricate 3D scenes, and faster workflows that make it easier to collaborate on and execute complex projects.
CHALLENGES
The need for speed
As audience expectations for increasingly complex and VFX-heavy shots continue to rise, studios need to be able to manage projects efficiently to stay on deadline and budget.
Managing complexity
Studios everywhere suffer from the same challenge: Efficiently managing an increasing number of shots, assets, and projects. Timely review and collaboration has never been so important.
SOLUTIONS IN 3DS MAX 2019
Simpler project and pipeline management
- Structure project folders in a way that makes sense for your pipeline — and automatically switch between projects when opening a file from a different project.
- Custom data can be stored within a 3ds Max scene file, and accessed without loading it into 3ds Max.
- It’s now easier to share Alembic data between 3ds Max and other 3D tools, with support for UVs, layer names, material IDs, and vertex color.
Faster content creation and editing
- Extensive support for Open Shading Language maps, including over 100 included shaders.
- Advanced wood procedural textures, including maple, cherry, oak, pine, mahogany, and more.
- With a new Shape Boolean object, users can perform Boolean operations parametrically on geometry created around splines.
- Edit scenes directly in VR with 3ds Max Interactive.
More efficient collaboration
- Sharing assets with reviewers and collaborators from 3ds Max is now simpler than ever: Assets can be shared to the online Autodesk Viewer directly from the 3ds Max interface, so reviewers don’t need to install extra software or sign in to view the content.
- Reviewers can view, markup, and take screenshots of content directly in-browser, and
feedback can be reviewed from within 3ds Max.
