WHAT IS AUTODESK 3DS MAX?

Autodesk 3ds Max is a web-based graphic design software, specifically for 3-D rendering and animation and is part of Autodesk suite of software for construction, engineering and architecture. It is used in game development, film and tv animation and product prototyping, too. The app suits both small business and enterprise requirements and supports both Windows and Mac. The app is capable to render high-definition details, lending reality to virtual objects such as characters, scenes and infrastructure. Its animation tools allow you to simulate scenarios and physics like the dynamics of a variety of fluids, gases and solids. These include lava, oil, water, rock, soil, cement, wood, clouds, steam, smoke, fire… the list goes on. You can also configure real-like camera viewpoints and effects, adding more depth to your work. Using geometrical referencing, the animation module lets you move objects in different directions and use mesh and surface variations. Another key feature here is the app’s rich library of 3-D content. You have access to a wide range of templated modeling, effects and texturing, thus, speeding up your work. The app has an open API to help you integrate external apps.
