Explore, validate, and communicate your ideas with Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2010 software—a comprehensive 3D modeling, animation, and rendering solution that supports the way architects, designers, engineers, and design visualization specialists approach their projects—from initial concept models to final, cinema-quality presentations. Digital continuity with the AutoCAD®, Revit®, and Autodesk® Inventor® software product families makes 3ds Max Design a key solution for seamless digital visualization workflow.
Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software—a complete version of the award-winning Autodesk® 3ds Max® software—is specifically tailored to architects, designers, engineers, and visualization specialists. Explore, validate, and communicate your creative ideas fully, from initial conceptual models to final, cinema-quality presentations. 3ds Max Design also offers digital continuity with the AutoCAD®, Revit®, and Autodesk® Inventor® software families of products.
Explore Unique Designs
Experience extreme creativity and artistic freedom with the !ds Max Design 2010 Graphite modeling tools—featuring more than a hundred new tools for free-form design and advanced polygonal modeling.
Take the guesswork out of your final renders with Review ! technology. This major leap forward in viewport display offers support for ambient occlusion, High Dynamic Range Images (HDRI)-based lighting, and mental mill® shaders. 3ds Max Design also offers productivity-enhancing feature sets, including Containers (for powerful referencing workflows) and
a new Material Explorer.
Validate Throughout the Process
Simulate the lighting in your designs with confidence: Exposure™ lighting analysis technology has been validated by the National Research Council (NRC), Canada’s leading organization for scientific research. Improved support for Revit® Architecture building information modeling (BIM) helps you generate broader, more detailed contextual studies. Finally,
the new xView mesh analyzer enables you to validate your !D models before exporting or rendering—so
that you can avoid costly mistakes early in the
design process, when errors are easier to fix.
Communicate with Impact
Quickly aggregate your scene elements: 3ds Max Design 2010 delivers extensive support for 2D and
3D file formats and enhanced workflow interoperation with the AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit families of products. Then use advanced entertainment technologies to create cinema-quality presentations that fully express your design intent. Some of these technologies include the PFlowAdvanced particle design system, robust animation capabilities, ProSound multitrack audio system, and advanced rendering toolsets.
