Increased Spline Chamfer Functionality: Control which knots are influenced by the chamfer/fillet with a new minimum angle parameter, added in response to user demand. For the first time, 3ds Max now automatically adjusts the selection radius to the monitor resolution, with further customization available in the viewport settings. Improved Selection Methods: Select objects and components in scenes with greater ease via improved selection radius for HD monitors (1080p through 4K). Path Deform is backwards compatible with older scenes. Redesigned Path Deform: Benefit from enhanced performance and stability with a redesigned Path Deform modifier that features per element deformation, support for multiple curves in the path and loopback. A new color/spectrum ramp and shader within 3ds Max syncs point cloud data with how it is displayed in ReCap.Īrnold Renderer Upgrades: Powerful new Arnold 6.1 features and capabilities include new post-processing nodes, nested dielectrics, an even faster GPU renderer, and Random Walk 2 Sub Surface Scattering for Physical Materials. Viewport Improvements: Render at various resolutions in the active shade viewport to speed up rendering previews when working with high-resolution monitors, or enable bloom in the viewport and adjust quality and radius, strength, tint, threshold and other settings.
