Precise Visual Feedback and Professional Final Renders

Reveal™ rendering technology, a system that streamlines iterative workflows by giving you very precise control over what is rendered, be it your entire scene minus a specific object, one given object, or a specific region of the Framebuffer. The rendered image Framebuffer contains a simplified set of tools to quickly validate changes in a render, by optionally filtering out objects, regions, and/or processes in order to balance quality, speed, and completeness. The release also contains a new ProMaterials™ library for mental ray® software, which gives you manufacturer-related materials for creating design and building surfaces.

Revit 2010 Interoperability…and More

With 3ds Max Design Autodesk takes a major leap forward with interoperability between 3ds Max Design and Revit® software. The software’s new FBX®-based Recognize™ scene-loading technology lets you quickly and accurately import geometry, lights, materials, and cameras from your Revit scenes into 3ds Max Design. Interoperability has also been strengthened across the 3D line of Autodesk products through two new user interface and navigation toolsets—the ViewCube™ and SteeringWheels™ technologies.
