Autodesk, Inc. has introduced 3ds Max 2010 software - the latest version of its 3D modeling, animation and rendering product – offering nearly 350 additional features. The 2010 release provides innovative creative tools: a render-quality viewport display and at least 100 new Graphite modeling tools. It also offers powerful new capabilities that help artists manage complex scenes with greater ease and an unprecedented level of support for software interoperability and pipeline integration.

Artists have used 3ds Max to create numerous award-winning entertainment projects, such as "Fallout 3," "Prince of Persia" and "Gears of War 2."

"3ds Max 2010 is a feature-packed release that has generated a lot of excitement in the 3D community," said Marc Petit, Autodesk senior vice president, Media & Entertainment. "This version will help artists work faster than ever before, so they can explore more ideas, push boundaries, and create stunning work in less time."

Jeff Hanna, senior technical artist at Volition, is a 3ds Max 2010 beta tester. His favorite new feature in the 2010 release is the xView mesh analyzer. "3ds Max 2010 software's powerful xView mesh analyzer will make it easier for us to ensure that every asset our artists create is correct and game ready," said Hanna. "The xView technology can quickly identify missing UVW coordinates, overlapping vertices, or open edges, among other things. With this tool, we won't have to worry about bad game data due to invalid geometry."

Key Highlights of Autodesk 3ds Max 2010 Innovative Creative Tools
• A new Graphite modeling and texturing system introduces at least 100 additional creative tools and helps artists explore and more rapidly iterate their ideas.
• The addition of render-like effects in the viewport display - such as soft shadowing, exposure control and ambient occlusion - offers near photo-real quality for faster decision making.

Powerful New Referencing and Scene Management Capabilities
• Artists can create robust referencing workflows to help organize complex scenes more easily by treating multiple objects and scenes as a single Container object.
• A new Material Explorer helps to simplify the way artists interact with objects and materials, making iterations much easier even in highly complex scenes.
• The new multithreaded xView mesh analyzer technology helps to significantly reduce errors by providing in-viewport reporting on several types of mesh.

Enhanced Software Interoperability and Pipeline Integration
• 3ds Max 2010 is the first animation package to integrate mental images' powerful mental mill technology. This allows users to develop, test and maintain hardware-agnostic shaders and complex shader graphs for hardware and software rendering with real-time visual feedback.
• Enhanced OBJ support and ProOptimizer technology provide improved interoperability with Autodesk Mudbox software.
• Additional support for C# and .NET gives developers the access they need to customize, extend and integrate 3ds Max into their existing pipelines.

3ds Max 2010 also includes all the features offered in the Creativity Extension for 3ds Max 2009, released in August 2008.

wOOOOWWWWW GALING NITO sana maka bili kami ng bago hehehe

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E8A25220E87A13A9 ito po youtube video ng new features ng 2010. parang nabili na rin ata nila pati polyboost..

talaga naman tong autodesk...di pa natatapos 1st quarter ng 2009 may 2010 na cla hehehe

ang aga naman ata.. Maya 2010 wala pa ba??

Pwed kayang bilihin ng Autodesk ang Vray? para hindi na siya plugins ng max

negosyo nga nmn...

talaga tong autodesk na to oh... di ba pwedeng magskip sila at least one year man lang bago magrelease ng bago? tsk tsk...hanggang ngayon studiomax 7 pa rin gamit ko lol

Well if you are in subscription then you need not worry about spending much. The only problem I find with all these - is that I have to learn al lthe new features again!

As for vray - vray development is better off the way they are now. Support is good so I do not think there is a need for Autodesk nor Chaosgroup to embrace each other. It will be like chaos hitting its head with a stone. If you feel that the plugin thing is expensive - there's MR right off the box. They tell me it renders nice!
