Autodesk 3ds Max Design a is comprehensive animation, 3D modeling, and 3D rendering software that allows designers to push the boundaries of creativity and efficiency to create cinematic-quality visuals and animations.
Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design is the software of choice for designers who need a powerful, integrated toolset to create high impact visuals. It helps efficiently generate realistic characters, seamless CG effects, jaw-dropping scenes, and top quality film and television content. Autodesk 3ds Max is used by architects, games designers, civil engineers, film makers, and other visualization specialists.
Autodesk 3ds Max has the depth of features necessary to communicate the story behind your design, a key element to winning competitive bids. Effects, such as people walking through scenes, flowing water, and waving drapery, all help demonstrate the mood of the design, and better engage viewers. Streamlined integration to other Autodesk
® software provide data continuity, significant time savings, and less duplicated effort.
Benefits:
- 1,200 Autodesk Materials for near realistic building and design
- Exposure ™ Lighting Technology for sustainable design
- Create robust referencing workflows to organize complex scenes
- NVIDIA® iray® Rendering Technology adds ‘point and shoot’ style rendering settings
- Nitrous Viewport System provides improved performance and visual quality
- Autodesk® Alias® Design interoperability for industrial design

Extensive Material Library
1,200 Autodesk materials give users an extensive library of easy-to-use, near realistic building materials for mental ray ® software.
Extensive Material Library
1,200 Autodesk materials give users an extensive library of easy-to-use, near realistic building materials for mental ray® software.
These materials are based on manufacturing-related data and professional images. The Autodesk Materials library gives you faster access to commonly used building and design materials: wall paint, solid glass, fabrics, wood, tiles and concrete. Moreover, the library enables you to exchange material data with certain other supporting Autodesk applications in a true one-to-one mapping—helping to create a consistent definition and rendered look, and eliminating the need to rework materials after data import.

Simulate Lighting
Exposure™ Lighting Technology for Sustainable Design simulates the lighting in your designs with confidence.
Simulate Lighting
Exposure™ Lighting Technology for Sustainable Design simulates the lighting in your designs with confidence.
This technology has been validated by the National Research Council Canada (NRC), Canada’s leading organization for scientific research and development, and the same organization that has conducted validation studies on Radiance for lighting simulation. A feature unique to 3ds Max Design, Exposure enables you to achieve more sustainable designs by analyzing how sun, sky, and artificial lighting interact with your design. You can then explore direct lighting effects right in the viewport.

Viewer Performance
Nitrous Viewport System provides dramatic improvements in performance and visual quality.
Viewer Performance
Nitrous Viewport System provides dramatic improvements in performance and visual quality.
By leveraging accelerated GPU’s and multi-core workstations, Nitrous can handle significantly larger data sets with limited impact on interactivity. This allows designers to have a more responsive workflow and provides a render-quality display environment. This increased power helps designers make better creative and aesthetic decisions.

Simplified Rendering
NVIDIA ® iray ® Rendering Technology makes creating realistic images with 3ds Max Design easier than ever before.
Simplified Rendering
NVIDIA® iray® Rendering Technology makes creating realistic images with 3ds Max Design easier than ever before.
A major milestone in the Rendering Revolution, iray enables designers to set up their scene, press ‘render,' and get more predictable, photo-real results without worrying about rendering settings, similar to a ‘point-and-shoot’ camera. Designers can focus on their creative vision as they intuitively use real world materials, lighting, and settings to more accurately portray the physical world; iray progressively refines the image until the desired level of detail is achieved. iray works with standard multi-core CPUs, however, NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU hardware will significantly accelerate the rendering process.
The iray renderer also offers support for motion blur, helping artists create more realistic images of moving elements. In addition, a large number of improvements to iray have been added: support for “no diffuse bump”, the round corner effect, and more procedural maps. Improved glossy refractions, translucency, and IOR (index of refraction), faster exterior scene convergence, and the ability to handle larger output resolutions are additional improvements.
