3ds Max Reviews

I am fascinated by the results that can be achieved with this software, it is very customizable down to the smallest detail, without a doubt I was quite surprised.

I do not know if there are things that I do not like, it is definitely a product that should be used with time, and with all the characteristics it has, many things I had to find how to do, it is not very user-friendly in the sense in which As soon as you use it, you can guess where to click for each thing you want to do, but I don't think it is something negative since that would remove many aspects of customization from the 3d models.

I love the familiarity with the interface. It's consistently stayed similar over the past 15 years that I've used this program. The interface is easy to understand, but also requires a level of expertise to run the software. This program is the best 3d modeling and rendering software on the market as it's proven itself over and over.

The price is the main downside for this software. It's definitely an investment year over year.

- This is a more than 20-year old software and pretty much mature and almost have all that you need. I've used this software since 2007 and I'm amazed at how this renders objects on it's own.- Best used from simple projects to a more complex and gaming characterizations and 3D movies.- The level of customizability can be done up to the DNA level. - The rendering quality is just amazingly stunning, even on it's own rendering engine, couple it with third-party rendering software, it makes object render output even more elaborate.

- One major issue I have with 3DS Max is the learning curve. It's harder to learn than, say, Cinema 4D. It is kind of verbose and complex to learn. I need a bit of persistence to learn it.- It has a very heavy native payload. It has like 8 to 9GB of payload on it's own. So, now if you add more libraries and other third-parties the load will even be more heavy.

What surprised me most pleasantly is that in the new versions, 3DS max has a smart archiving tool that is available to you. Thus, the data relating to the management of your project will be easily accessible. You can make changes from anywhere. They will be immediately taken into account. Each member of your team will have access to project information. it's just fabulous.

The only problem with 3DS max is its rather exorbitant price which is not within everyone's reach, especially novices.

It is complex but becomes a fast and easy workflow once you know how to use it, it is accessible for students and it is one of the "basic" programmes that you will have to use in your working life. The final product in both modeling and rendering is complete and professional. Both at school and at work it is used all the time. It is adaptable and compatible if you want to work with other programs, both for importing and exporting. And it becomes indispensable for the production management of a final architectural project.

The time it can take for a person to learn how to use it is very long. You have to do constant work and have knowledge in other areas so that the tools make more sense and you can work more easily with it. Start to slow down with complex projects and it can take a considerable amount of time to get a good end result.

Well, as an industrial designer, this is my daily driver. I currently do a complete 3D mechanism models in it for 3d printing. I can say once you set the units and find the tolerances that work for you, it is a simple process. As another cool feature I can point that from the assembly file for printing, you can make another copy and set it for the product renders you can use for presentation purposes and that's great.

hard to learn the rendering engines and parameters, but it's not only on this software. Just too much stuff you have to know how it works and keep track of your settings.

I like about 3ds Max that it's easy to use, friendly interface and comprehensive official tutorials. You can go from sketch to finish even on professional projects like triple A games, and even in movie industry.

The interface lacks antialiasing, it lags sometimes on low-poly objects and the shading viewport model could use some work.

3ds Max is powerful. That's an understatement. It can be used by anyone but it's particularly useful to professionals who need all the features. It has been around over 20-years so it's robust and mature. There are 1000s of tutorials for it and the user Forum is one of the best I've ever seen.

This is not a Con of 3ds Max but is a reality of all powerful software, it takes time to get really good. Max is one of the best for intuitively being able to get around and get started, but to really use it well, you have to pay your dues and take a course or self teach by doing lots of tutorials. That's my experience. I'm self-taught and online tutorials were my guide.

I like the render quality as i was testing it out for rendering scenery and water. I like that i could Vue Xstream within 3DS Max and the render quality was better than the standalone renderer in Vue.

It is fairly expensive to purchase, which was was I didnt purchase following the trial.

I find the wide selection of animation, rending and 3D modeling features very useful.

And I also like how realistic the quality of the rending is, it truly looks professional and clean.

I love ithe software, however, I find the price a bit too high for regular usage.
