Audiokinetic WWise is an industry-leading sound engine for 3D games and simulations, offering sound designers a complete pipeline that includes a suite of editing tools for setting up projects, monitoring and debugging playback, and live modification of sound properties.

For more information about Wwise, see:

• The Audiokinetic Wwise site: https://www.audiokinetic.com/products/wwise/
• The latest full-product documentation from Audiokinetic, available from the Help menu of the Wwise authoring tool.

When you launch the Wwise Authoring tool from the interactive editor, it automatically opens the Wwise project associated with the 3ds Max Interactive project you're currently working on. (See also Create or open a Wwise project.)

Important: If you experience issues connecting to 3ds Max Interactive from Wwise, you may need to add an exception or to your firewall. In addition, the following UDP ports must be open for Wwise remote sync functionality: 24024, 24025, and 24026. For more information, refer to the Wwise documentation.

The Wwise plug-in adds the following capabilities to 3ds Max Interactive:

• Every new project you create in the editor is automatically set up with a linked Wwise project.
• You can export sound banks from Wwise formatted as 3ds Max Interactive resources, and have them placed directly into your project's data folder.
• The Wwise runtime engine is integrated into the 3ds Max Interactive runtime engine.
• The Wwise plugin exposes several functions to the 3ds Max Interactive Lua API, which you can call in your gameplay code to control sound sources, trigger sound events, and modify parameter values.
  For details, see the Wwise and WwiseWorld objects in the Lua API Reference.
