Autodesk 3ds Max 2020

Autodesk has released the new update of its best software for 3D-modeling and animation, which was replenished with advanced add-ons. For example, the update extends 3ds Max support for shading OSL.

An Increased animation playback speed in the preview window:

• The new version combines features with internal changes. 3ds Max now doesn’t evaluate curves and geometry that didn’t change between frames. This change improves playback speed in the viewport;
• The software also demonstrates a twofold increase in the frame rate during the processing of a rather complex mechanical object;
• Preview animations have also been improved.

New halftone and shadow effects:

• Illustrators will receive new non-photorealistic shading options;
• Halftone includes bitmaps and shaded effects that enhance the look;
• General-purpose cards include Simple Tiles and Weave.

Updated UV modeling/editing toolkits:

• The Chamfer modifier has been updated, which now allows you to fix the width of the chamfer;
• You can save and reload pixel snapping settings.

New OSL Maps:

• The update also adds new options that provide an unusual set of new features;
• A new three-color color correction map has been added. It is able to adjust the input color using glare and other details.
• “Color Space” converts material based on the distance between different colors in space.
