Create stunning 3D in less time
Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 software delivers compelling new techniques for helping create and texture models, animate characters, and produce higher-quality images in less time.
Accelerate Everyday Workflows
Whether you’re looking to create differentiated 3D assets for games, compelling broadcast graphics for television, or stunning visual effects for the latest boxoffice attraction, Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2011 softwareprovides a comprehensive, integrated 3D modeling,animation, rendering, and compositing solution that enables you to more quickly ramp up for production. Accelerate Everyday Workflows Model and texture characters, props and environments more efficiently in 3ds Max 2011, with expanded
Graphite and Viewport Canvas toolsets that delive intuitive new brush-based interfaces for 3D painting, texture editing, and object placement. Meanwhile, a new in-context direct manipulation UI helps make polygon modeling faster and helps you maintain focus
on the creative task at hand, while customized user interface (UI) layouts keep your choice of frequently used actions and macro scripts readily accessible. And, for projects where collaboration is critical, a significantly enhanced workflow with Containers enables multiple
users to work in parallel, helping to meet tight deadlines.
Create Believable Movement Faster
Achieve higher-quality results in less time when creating animations and simulations in 3ds Max 2011. With the flexible, approachable Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) now fully integrated, you can use default settings to more quickly create working rigged characters or customize rigs for more demanding set-ups.
Polish Your Image
Whether an image sequence is the final, refined product of a production, an animatic for review, or part of an interactive experience, 3ds Max 2011 offers new tools to help you create it more easily. An intuitive new node-based material editor, Slate, helps make it easierto create and edit complex material networks, while the innovative Quicksilver hardware renderer can render at incredible speeds and it supports advanced
lighting effects. Meanwhile, the new ability to view 3ds Max texture maps and materials in the viewport means that you can make interactive decisions in a higher-fidelity context, helping to reduce errors. Finally, the inclusion of 3ds Max Composite, a fully featured HDR-capable
compositor based on technology from Autodesk® Toxik® software, provides a powerful toolset that incorporates keying, color correction, tracking, camera mapping, raster and vector paint, spline-based warping, motion blur, depth of field, and tools to support stereoscopic productions.
Slate Material Editor
More easily visualize and edit material component relationships with Slate, a new node-based editor that helps significantly improve workflow and productivityfor creating and editing complex material networks.
Quicksilver Hardware Renderer
Create higher-fidelity pre-visualizations, animatics, and games-related marketing materials in less time with Quicksilver, an innovative new hardware renderer that uses both the CPU and the GPU to help produce higher-quality images at incredible speeds.
Local Edits to Containers
Collaborate more efficiently with significantly enhanced workflows for Containers that enable you to meet tight deadlines by working in parallel: multiple users can layer local edits nondestructively on top of referenced content, working simultaneously on different aspects of the same container.
Viewport Display of Autodesk
3ds Max Materials Develop and refine scenes in a higher-fidelity interactivedisplay environment that enables you to help make better decisions in context with the new ability to view most 3ds Max texture maps and materials in the viewport.
3ds Max Composite
Enhance rendered passes and incorporate them intolive action footage with 3ds Max Composite: a fully featured, high-performance, HDR-capable compositor, based on technology from Autodesk Toxik software.
In-Context Direct Manipulation UI
Save time when modeling and maintain focus on the creative task at hand with a new in-context UI for polygon modeling tools that enables you to more interactively manipulate properties and enter values directly at the point of interest in the viewport
CAT Integration
More easily create and manage characters, and layer,load, save, remap, and mirror animations with CAT.Now fully integrated into 3ds Max, CAT provides anout-of-the-box advanced rigging and animation system.
UI Customization
Focus on the features that matter most for specialized workflows with customizable UI layouts that enable you to store personalized configurations that include frequently used action items and macro scripts.
Save to Previous Release
Manage the transition to the Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 release with the option to save scene files in a format compatible with the 2010 version*. This enables you to take advantage of the new features in 2011 before your entire studio, pipeline, or client base is ready to upgrade.
