Autodesk 3ds Max 2009

Autodesk 3ds Max 2009

Reveal™ rendering streamlines and accelerates iterative workflows by providing precise control over what is rendered in the Viewport or Framebuffer. Access to a ProMaterials™ library for mental ray® also provides materials for creating real-world design and building surfaces.
Streamline Your Character and Mapping Workflows

With 3ds Max 2009, Biped now offers animators a more efficient workflow for rigging quadrupeds, together with other features that facilitate the character animation process. The release also delivers new UV editing features including a UV spline mapping tool, and enhanced Pelt and Relax toolsets that streamline the UVW unwrap workflow.

Move Data: Quickly and Accurately

With 3ds Max 2009, you get the information you want, the way you want it. Greater OBJ translation fidelity and more import/export options mean more accurate data transfers between 3ds Max and Autodesk® Mudbox™ or other digital modeling packages. 3ds Max 2009 also delivers improved Autodesk FBX® memory management and new import options that support interoperability between 3ds Max and other products such as Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® MotionBuilder™.
