Slice Modifier Performance enhancements to the Slice modifier and new modeling features reduce data processing operations for Autodesk Retopology Tools in 3ds Max.
|
Extrude Modifier The Extrude modifier, one of the most frequently used modifiers in 3ds Max, offers significant performance improvements to the speed of the initial extrude calculation, and to the responsiveness of the output when adjusting the amount parameter. This allows complex splines, which used to take minutes to process, to be operated on in a matter of seconds. Artists can achieve a desired look faster and more interactively. |

Symmetry Modifier The Symmetry modifier includes new features and enhancements that can now produce faster results, and offers a more interactive experience in the Viewport.
|
Relax Modifier 3ds Max now includes a "volume preserve" option which has been added to the Relax modifier. When active, the Relax algorithm will perform additional calculations to reduce small detail and noise out from models, all while retaining the shape and definition of the overall mesh that the modifier has been applied to. |
