Installation
- Download Arnold for 3ds Max .
- Follow the installation instructions .
System Requirements
Autodesk 3ds Max 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.
Windows 10 or later, with the Visual Studio 2019 redistributable.
Linux with at least glibc 2.17 and libstdc++ 4.8.5 (gcc 4.8.5). This is equivalent to RHEL/CentOS 7.
macOS 10.13 or later .
CPUs need to support the SSE4.1 instruction set. Apple Mac models with M series chips are supported under Rosetta 2 mode.
GPU rendering works on Windows and Linux only and requires an NVIDIA GPU of the Ampere, Turing, Volta, Pascal, or Maxwell architecture.
Optix™ denoiser requires an NVidia GPU with CUDA™ Compute Capability 5.0 and above.
Warning:
- We recommend using the 511.09 (Quadro), 511.09 (GeForce), or higher on Windows and 495.46 or higher drivers on Linux. See Arnold GPU for more information.
- The driver type must be set to DCH.
In the driver page select "Windows Driver Type:" DCH
Important: The cache will also need to be re-populated after installing a new Arnold version, updating to a new NVIDIA driver , or changing the hardware configuration of GPUs on the system. More information can be found here.
- The driver type must be set to DCH.
