Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2012 software delivers powerful new rendering toolsets, enhanced iterative workflows, and an accelerated graphics core that together help increase overall productivity. Featuring the physically accurate iray renderer from mental images, versatile procedural textures, and stylised rendering capabilities, 3ds Max Design 2012 helps designers present their creative vision more effectively. Moreover, with the Nitrous render-quality accelerated viewports, designers can more rapidly iterate on their ideas to achieve more compelling end results. Now with new interoperability with Autodesk Alias industrial design applications and automated workflows with AutoCAD Civil 3D software, designers can more seamlessly aggregate their CAD data into powerful story-telling visualisations
Features
Interoperability with select Autodesk CAD and BIM tools. Streamlined integrated workflows with the AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, Autodesk Alias Design, and Autodesk Inventor software product families provide efficient data continuity throughout the design process. Support for both the DWG file format and the Autodesk FBX asset exchange technology makes it easier for you to enhance your visual BIM data, while the Civil View feature automatically creates realistic visualisations using civil data
Experience dramatic improvements in performance and visual quality with the new Nitrous viewport system. Nitrous leverages accelerated GPUs and multi-core workstations to enable you to iterate faster and handle larger data sets
Improved rendering with unlimited integrated mental ray rendering software, a traditional scan-line renderer, the Quicksilver GPU renderer, and the newly integrated iray “point-and shoot” rendering technology from mental images, you can make creative decisions faster
Autodesk Civil View (formerly Dynamite VSP) feature set. allows you to automatically create highly realistic visualisations in 3ds Max Design using civil data from AutoCAD Civil 3D
