3ds Max 2014
Monday, May 20th, 2013 by Margarete Kitel
Autodesk recently released its latest version of 3ds Max that comes with a couple of great new features that offer new opportunities for creating 3D scenes.
Apart from the improved viewport system the improvements include an advanced Particle Flow System that helps to create more complex and realistic particle simulations with a simple operation in less time.
The Perspective Match Tool simplifies combining a 2d photograph with 3d objects. You can easily set up the camera views in your scene to match the perspective of the background.
A great feature is the Populate crowd animation. This tool provides you with the opportunity to bring your 3D scene to life. You can easily create crowds in background situations, that are moving along a path or are situated in idle areas.
Another neat feature is using vector graphics for maps on materials. This guarantees a high quality of the textures no matter how much the object is zoomed in. It is possible to create textures that change over time with the PDF support that includes animated page transitions.
