Autodesk 3ds Max Design

Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2011 software offers compelling new techniques for bringing designs to life by aggregating data, iterating ideas, and presenting the results. Streamlined, intelligent data-exchange workflows and innovative new rendering features help designers collaborate in creating stunning, photo-realistic visualizations to optimally showcase design data from Autodesk® Revit® Architecture, Autodesk® Inventor®, AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, Rhino, SolidWorks, FormZ, and Google® Sketchup™. Significant enhancements to the 3ds Max Design modeling and texturing toolset, accessed through a new in-context user interface, help accelerate everyday workflows, enabling designers to better explore, validate, and communicate the stories behind their designs.

Autodesk 3ds Max Design provides a comprehensive, integrated rendering, 3D modeling, and animation solution for architects, designers, civil engineers, and visualization specialists to help tell the story behind their designs.

• Rapid iteration of designs – With best-in-class interoperability with the AutoCAD®, Revit®, and Autodesk® Inventor® software product families, 3ds Max Design enables users to experience non-destructive workflows when upstream changes occur. The software also supports more than 30 2D and 3D data formats.
• Accurate daylight analysis – 3ds Max Design is one of the tools validated by the CNRC for the simulation and analysis of indirect and daylight effects. In addition, direct lighting can be explored in real-time in the viewport.
• High-impact visuals – Technology proven in the entertainment industry enables designers and visualization specialists to create cinematic-quality imagery using:
  • An industry-leading polygon modeling toolset
  • Out-of-the-box animation, character, and effects tools
  • Unlimited network rendering with mental ray
