Review on 3D MAX latest update

Version 7 of 3D MAX offers improvements that enhances speed and provides better user interface. The new version now has Character Studio within the standard program, as well as other features such as TurboSmooth, Object Display Culling, and Direct 3D Redraw. The following is an excerpt from a review made for the new version:

3Ds Max have diferent upgardes and innovations. Lets see what the new one has to offer us.

It has an improved user interface- The improved user interface offers key enhancements. These include toolbar buttons that open dialogs and stay down and highlighted even if the dialogs are open. This is called "toggle". Toggling the appropriate shortcut key both opens and closes the related dialog window. You could also click CTRL+ ~ to toggle all currently open dialogs.

There's also the new Snaps toolbar that displays the most common settings. On the other hand, the new snapping engine allows snapping to pivot points. A Rendering toolbar also lets you save and recall up to three rendering presets.

Copy and Paste tools can now duplicate materials, maps, bitmaps, and colors. There's the new Parameter Collector menu that lets you organize and present parameters that can be animated with a click or two. This can create, access, and key in parameter sets that are specialized. In addition, the DirectX material support has been improved with Standard materials becoming easy to be translated to DirectX shaders. With the new improved user interface, 3D MAX 7 can now import MPEG files and use them practically everywhere you have bitmap formats.

It can create and manage the scene you're creating- The Array dialog allows you to preview an array in all viewports in real time before you actually make it. With the Clone and Align tools, selected objects can be duplicated to locations specified by other objects in your scene.

The Object Display Culling helps you improve viewport performance in complex scenes by providing a box for less important objects which you could either hide or display as you work.

The Walk Through Navigation gives you the capability to navigate and move around the model scene as if you were actually inside it. This creates a faster and more natural movement of the camera.

With an optional JSR-184 Exporter, you can create .m3g files for devices that support the Mobile 3D Graphics API for Java 2 Micro Edition standard. You could preview your exported .m3g files on 3D MAX's standalone player.It provides faster modeling- For the creation of models, the feature of Bridge connects pairs of selected borders or polygons automatically, even if they have different numbers of vertices.

This particular feature enables the application to help you create a smooth joint, as well as help you make a design of your own.

In addition, the Make Planar can provide you with the average alignment of a selected group of sub-objects along a specific axis. This is a big help when you are creating flat surfaces using a rough mesh.

These are just a few of the new features available in the 3D MAX 7. There's more, such as the Paint Deformation that helps you deform the surface of vertices by pushing or pulling; the Camera Map Per Pixel that projects maps onto a model, which helps matte painters add details or blend different matte paintings on a rendered image; or the Character Studio that that lets you create a generic rig for humanlike characters, while customizing it further to fit the characters.

There are a lot of new features in store with the latest update. For more information, visit www.discreet.com.
