Tool overview
Overview
Autodesk 3ds Max is a professional 3D modeling, rendering, and animation software widely used in games, film, visualization, and design. Powered by advanced tools and automation, it helps artists and designers build complex assets, environments, and cinematic-quality visuals with high efficiency. With a robust polygon, spline, and NURBS modeling toolset, 3ds Max lets you create everything from detailed characters to massive architectural scenes. The software integrates intelligent modifiers, procedural workflows, and physics-based simulations so you can iterate quickly and keep scenes flexible. Powerful rendering options, including Arnold and other render engines, deliver realistic lighting, materials, and effects directly in the viewport or at final output. Scene management tools make it possible to handle large productions while maintaining performance. 3ds Max connects smoothly with other Autodesk products and popular DCC and game engines, enabling a streamlined pipeline from concept to final delivery. Whether you are building real-time assets, architectural visualizations, product shots, or cinematic sequences, 3ds Max provides a comprehensive, production-proven environment to bring your ideas to life.
