 Here are some key features of "Autodesk 3ds Max 2012":
Slate Material Editor:
· More easily visualize and edit material component relationships with Slate, a new node-based material editor that
· helps significantly improve workflow and productivity for artists creating and editing complex material networks.
Quicksilver Hardware Renderer:
· Create high-fidelity pre-visualizations, animatics, and games-related marketing materials in less time with Quicksilver,
· an innovative new hardware renderer that helps produce higher-quality images at incredible speeds.
Local Edits to Containers:
· Collaborate more efficiently with significantly enhanced workflows for Containers that enable users to layer local edits
· non-destructively on top of referenced content.
Modeling and Texturing Enhancements:
Accelerate modeling and texturing tasks with new tools that extend the Graphite modeling and Viewport Canvas toolsets:
· a revised toolset for 3D painting and editing textures within the viewport; the ability to paint with object brushes
· to create geometry within a scene; a new brush interface for editing UVW coordinates; and an interactive tool for
· extending edge loops.
Viewport Display of 3ds Max Materials:
· Develop and refine scenes in a high-fidelity interactive display environment—without the constant need to re-render—
· with the new ability to view most 3ds Max texture maps and materials in the viewport.
3ds Max Composite:
· Enhance rendered passes and incorporate them into live action footage with 3ds Max Composite: a full-featured, highperformance, HDR-capable compositor, based on technology from Autodesk Toxik software.
In-Context Direct Manipulation UI:
· Save time when modeling and maintain focus on the creative task at hand with a new in-context user interface (UI) for
· polygon modeling tools that help eliminate unnecessary mouse movement away from the model.
CAT Integration:
· More easily create and manage characters, and layer, load, save, remap, and mirror animations with the Character
· Animation Toolkit (CAT).
User Interface Customization:
· Maximize the usable workspace and focus on the features that matter most for specialized workflows with customizable
· user interface layouts. Requirements:
· Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 or higher
· DirectX 9.0c (required), OpenGL (optional)
· For general animation and rendering (less than 1,000 objects or 100,000 polygons):
· Intel Pentium 4 1.4 GHz or equivalent AMD® processor with SSE2 technology
· 2 GB RAM (4 GB recommended)
· 2 GB swap space (4 GB recommended)
· 3 GB free hard drive space
· Direct3D 10 technology, Direct3D 9, or OpenGL-capable graphics card
· 256 MB or higher video card memory, 1 GB or higher recommended
· Three-button mouse with mouse driver software
· DVD-ROM drive
· Internet connection for web downloads and Autodesk Subscription-aware access Limitations:
· 30 days trial period

Nitrous Accelerated Graphics Core:
· A top priority of the Excalibur (XBR) initiative to revitalize 3ds Max, this release introduces a completely new viewport system engineered to provide dramatic improvements in performance and visual quality. Nitrous leverages today's accelerated GPUs and multi-core workstations to help artists iterate faster and handle larger data sets with limited impact on interactivity. With each viewport threaded separately from the UI, artists can adjust parameters on complex scenes without the need to wait for viewports to refresh, resulting in a smoother, more responsive workflow. Moreover, Nitrous provides a render-quality display environment that supports unlimited lights, soft shadows, screen-space ambient occlusion, tone-mapping, and high-quality transparency, along with progressive refinement of image quality when the artist pauses, helping artists make better creative and aesthetic decisions in the context of their final output.
