3ds Max, Autodesk's modeling and texturing software for design visualization, games, and animation, has been updated to version 2022.3. The update brings a new convenient option for Viewport, a newly implemented Advanced Wood in OSL, several new 3ds Max-to-Arnold features, and a long-awaited update to 3ds Max's Pipeline Integration capabilities.
What's new?
- Smart Extrude: You can now cut across multiple edged bodies on the same mesh with Smart Extrude, while additional support allows for clean cut-through of non-planar quad and n-gon polygons.
