Key New Features in Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 Software

Autodesk 3ds Max 2011 has the following new and enhanced features:

• Slate, a new node-based material editor that enables artists to more easily visualize and edit material component relationships

• Quicksilver hardware renderer, a new multithreaded rendering engine that uses both the central processing unit (CPU) and the graphics processing unit (GPU), and can achieve up to 10 times faster rendering than traditional techniques on common graphics cards

• Ability to view many 3ds Max texture maps and materials in the viewport to help develop and refine scenes in a higher-fidelity interactive display environment — without the constant need to re-render

• Extended Graphite modeling and Viewport Canvas toolsets for 3D and 2D painting of textures directly in the viewport, along with the ability to paint with object brushes to help create geometry within a scene

• Ability to non-destructively layer local edits on top of referenced content, helping artists to collaborate more efficiently

• 3ds Max Composite, a full-featured, high dynamic range (HDR)–capable compositor, based on technology from Autodesk Toxik software

yes vray and vrayrt is on max2011 as well

@ vertex aka. jun aristorenas
i know it's sounds a noob question but ano yung backward compatability na sinasabi mo dito bro.

astig ....!!

whew.... !!! galing...! you can now import files directly from Sketchup and Revit... with backwards compatibility pa with 2010...! astig!

how about v-ray plug-ins? meron napo ba?

meron na to sir ginagamit ko na tong version nato.. maganda talaga.. di nagkacrush pc ko. kahit core 2 duo lang ako hehehe! aside from v-ray. meron na rin syang v-ray scatter, autograss and di ko lang sure pati v-ray RT ata not sure... sir abangan ko yung mga secrets na unlock pa hehehe

sir noms, you can save as to 2010 version though you're using 2011. no hassle. unlike to the previous version max na walang ganitong feature.....so compatible na siya and can run along together.

i see thanks 41 for the clarification. so maganda kung ganon....

ka nomer exactly as f41 explained.

Wow, Ganda! saka na ako magshift sa 2011 pagnaka bili ng bagong PC... baka manibago ako at matagalan ako kakahanap, puro iba na mga tools.

why only now the backwards compatibily? my guess is that at the time of release, they haven't figured out solving why some poly's modelled in 2010 becomes corrupted when opened in 2011.
