What's Fixed
| Animation |
| Added a new optional property called "tag" to Transform List Controllers. Tags can be found through MAXScript to make changes to Transform List Controller data MAXX-78536 |
| Color Management |
| A "Don't Show Again" check box has been added to the Color Management dialog boxes MAXX-78230 |
| Core |
| The state of macro buttons in toolbars were being updated multiple times when performing a scene operation, which could cause them to "flash" unnecessarily. To resolve this, updates are now queued and should now only occur once per scene operation MAXX-80590 |
| MAXScript |
| Sped up getFiles and getDirectories when recursing many folders. Added keyword argument exactMatch to getFiles and getDirectories. If false (the default) short file name (8.3) matches may be returned MAXX-81213 |
| Modeling |
| Fixed an issue where the Attribute Transfer modifier was not properly updating its result when the user performed an undo action MAXX-80624 |
| Fixed an issue with the Attribute Transfer modifier when using MaterialID transfer where the modifier was not providing the correct result with Rotate & Scale active MAXX-80629 |
| When relaunching 3ds Max, the UI was not properly updating to correctly reflect if the user had set the selection method to Window or Crossing in their previously closed session. This would result in 3ds Max always displaying in Crossing mode, even if it wasn't the mode that it was actually using MAXX-81129 |
| Resolved an issue where the Push modifier was flagging a topology change to happen, which could cause the modified object's geometry to distort and look incorrect if it was moved or enabled/disabled in the Modifier stack MAXX-80667 |
