Autodesk 3ds Max 2018

Size: 6.71 GB

Autodesk Inc., a world leader in 3D design software for entertainment, natural resources, manufacturing, engineering, construction, and civil infrastructure, announced the release of 3ds Max 2018, the latest update to its 3D modelling and animation software.

The update replaces mental ray with Arnold 5 as 3ds Maxs de facto third-party render engine, introduces new options for editing motion paths, and overhauls the user interface and Max Creation Graph.

- 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 Nvidias mental ray renderer with the software to Solid Angles 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 Autodesks switch from mental ray to Arnold in our original story. At the time, users welcomed Arnolds feature set, but criticised the loss of unlimited network rendering.
- MAXtoA integration plugin now includes Arnold 5
However, one change that wasnt 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 hasnt 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
