When you complete the initial design, layout, and modeling of a project in Revit Architecture, you can use Autodesk® 3ds Max® to produce high-end renderings and add final details. Designed for interoperability with FBX® files from Revit Architecture, 3ds Max preserves model geometry, lights, materials, camera settings, and other metadata from Revit projects. With Revit Architecture and 3ds Max working together, designers can extend the building information modeling process to include design visualization.
You can export a 3D view from a Revit project to an FBX file and import it into 3ds Max. You can then create enhanced renderings of the design to share with clients in 3ds Max.
The FBX file format passes rendering information to 3ds Max, including lights, render appearances, sky settings, and material assignments for the 3D view. By preserving this information during the export process, Revit Architecture maintains a high degree of fidelity and reduces the amount of work required in 3ds Max.
