Autodesk has released 3ds Max 2018, the latest update to its 3D modelling and animation software.
The update replaces mental ray with Arnold 5 as 3ds Max?s de facto third-party render engine, introduces the option to edit motion paths in the viewport, and overhauls the user interface and Max Creation Graph.
Note: at the time of posting, Autodesk hasn?t released videos of the new features, or the English online documentation, although you can find versions for other languages. We?ll update once they?re available.
Ships with Arnold, not mental ray
The biggest change in 3ds Max 2018 is the one we knew about in advance: that Autodesk has switched from bundling Nvidia?s mental ray renderer with the software to Solid Angle?s Arnold, which it acquired in 2016.
The bundled version can be used to render from a single machine via the viewport, but output generated in other ways is watermarked, so for command-line or network rendering, you need extra commercial licences.
Nvidia will continue to provide mental ray for 3ds Max as a third-party plugin, including a free licence with similar restrictions to the free version of Arnold bundled with 3ds Max.
You can read more about Autodesk?s switch from mental ray to Arnold in our original story. At the time, users welcomed Arnold?s feature set, but criticised the loss of unlimited network rendering.
MAXtoA integration plugin now includes Arnold 5
However, one change that wasn?t announced at the time is the update to MAXtoA, the 3ds Max integration plugin for Arnold. According to the release notes, it now includes Arnold 5, the new version of the renderer.
At the time of posting, Solid Angle hasn?t officially released Arnold 5, although it has posted a number of sneak peeks over recent months. You can read what is known about the feature set of Arnold 5 here.
According to the release notes, Arnold features provided to 3ds Max 2018 users include:
Volumetric effects with OpenVDB support
Atmospheric Effects
Procedural objects (proxies) allow scene exchange with other Arnold plugins
A comprehensive selection of integrated Arnold shaders and materials
Supports third-party shaders compiled for Windows and Arnold 5
Simplified image-based lighting workflow with separate background and environment capabilities
Arnold Properties modifier controls render-time effects on a per-object basis
Support for Arbitrary Output Variables (AOVs) for compositing and post-processing
Depth of field, motion blur and camera shutter effects
New virtual reality camera
New, more user-friendly layered Standard Surface compatible with Disney models, replacing the Arnold Standard shader
New melanin-based hair shader with artistic controls and simplified parameters for more natural results
Support for photometric lights to facilitate interoperability with Revit
Comprehensive support for 3ds Max physical materials and legacy textures
All-in-one Arnold light supports textured area lights, mesh lights, skydomes and distant light sources
New portal mode for Quad and Skydome light sources for improved sampling of indoor scenes
New Roundness and Soft Edge options for Quad and Spot lights
Scene converter provides scripts and presets for converting legacy scenes
Edit motion paths directly in the viewport
Another new feature is the option to preview and edit the motion paths of animated objects in the viewport.
Users can edit paths by manipulating them directly, or add and remove keys, with changes also being reflected in the track view. It is also possible to convert existing spline objects to motion paths, or vice versa.
Updates to the Max Creation Graph
The Max Creation Graph (MCG), the node-based programming environment introduced in 3ds Max 2016, has also been updated.
Although there are 78 new operators, most of the changes seem to be workflow-related, including the option to import graphs in .mcg format simply by dragging them onto the viewport.
Handling of type has been improved, meaning that it is no longer necessary to add extra nodes to graphs to indicate the type system, while a new Live Type option calculates type in the editor on the fly.
There is also a new Node Properties window with better descriptions of operators and compounds, and the compiler has been ?significantly improved?.
New interface and workflow options
The UI has also been updated to the Qt5 framework, and now features the option to tear off and dock many of the interface elements in order to create custom layouts.
Elements that can be rearranged in this way include the timeline and many of the menus, although not the viewport, according to this thread on Autodesk?s forum.
Other UI changes include a new, modular design for the main toolbar (shown above), and further progress in the ongoing process of converting existing icons for Hi-DPI displays.
Switching between workspaces is also ?faster?, although we don?t have any more details than that.
There is also a new UI for State Sets based on the Slate Material Editor, providing ?a more consistent look and functionality? and offering a node-based workflow for managing render passes.
Pricing and availability
3ds Max 2018 is currently available to existing subscribers. At time of posting, the system requirements and prices for the new release aren?t online.
The previous release, 3ds Max 2017, is compatible with Windows 7+, and is available on a rental-only basis, with new subscriptions starting at $1,470/year for basic support or $1,630/year for advanced support.
what the fuck ? they have not even give out a release :/
You can download max 2018 from autodesk site. Just sign in and go to management->3ds max – download.
In Uploaded, please!!
Why not use this server now??
i guess you get more money or poits using these hosters.
but for the downloaders they really suck.
uploaded.to please..
this is not CG please i need this software
please crack planetCNC CNCUSBController software crack this software not activation
it is only 25 line command it is limited;
if activated life time and not limited command line
please crack
Hi. this is the link for the update 2 for 3ds max 2018, directly from autodesk server. 3ds Max 2018.2
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Wow thanks thanks thanks ;)
