Subdivide Modifier Enhancements:
|
Arnold Renderer (MAXtoA):
|
Path Deform modifier |
The Path Deform modifier has been completely rebuilt while retaining backwards compatibility with older scenes. Improvements include enhanced performance, the new By Element deformation option, support for multiple curves in the path, and loopback. Numerous defects have also been resolved to provide improved stability and quality. |
PBR Importer |
Enables the quick creation of PBR or Physical Materials by loading a range of PBR texture files. |
Selection improvements |
Easier selection on high-definition monitors ranging from 1080p to 4k as well as improved hit detection for selections and resolved depth cycling issues. |
Point cloud display enhancements |
Point cloud data has been enhanced by integrating a new color/spectrum ramp and a new shader for intensity and elevation. This aligns how point clouds display in the viewports with how ReCap displays this information. |
Spline Chamfer modifier improvements |
Enhanced functionality controls what knots are influenced through minimum angle parameters. The calculation of knot positions after fillet/chamfer operations has also been improved to provide optimal results. |
ActiveShade viewport resolution multiplier |
You can now render in the ActiveShade viewport with 1/8, 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 resolution to increase render speed, especially when working with high resolution monitors. |
Viewport shader compilation feedback |
The remaining number of shaders compiling now displays in the status bar. |
Performance improvements |
Increased default MAXScript heap size from 15Mb to 100Mb to help overall performance when multiple scripted commands are executed, such as when the Ribbon displays. |
Security improvements |
To enhance system security, startup scripts with hidden or system file attributes are now blocked. Scripts in a hidden or system folder (other than '%LocalAppData%' and '%ProgramData%") are also blocked. If a script is blocked for these reasons, it is logged to the system log with the script path and name, the file attricutes, and "Action: not loaded." In addition, all other scripts are logged, which can help you diagnose issues caused by scripts in general, as well as to audit potential security incidents. |
3ds Max Security Tools |
3ds Max Security Tools 1.3 is included in this version, which detects and removes malicious code known as "PhysxPluginMfx." |
Plugin management |
To make it easier to know which plugins packages are loaded into 3ds Max, the Plugin Manager now displays the author and version number for each plugin package in addition to its description and location. |
