Autodesk® 3ds Max® 2011 software offers compelling new techniques for creating and texturing models, animating characters, and producing higher-quality images in less time. Significant enhancements to the modeling and texturing toolset, accessed through a new in-context user interface, help accelerate everyday workflows, while non-destructive layered editing of Containers helps facilitate collaboration in parallel. Meanwhile, fully-integrated, high-performance toolsets for creating, managing, and animating characters help quickly bring scenes to life. And, with a new node-based material editor, a high-quality hardware renderer, in-viewport display of texture maps and materials, and a fully-featured HDR-capable compositor, creating stunning, photo-realistic images is easier than ever.
