NewView is a 3ds Max plugin that gives artists a powerful detached, time-independent viewport for reviewing their scenes with complete freedom. By separating the viewport from the main timeline, it lets you inspect geometry, lighting, and camera angles without affecting animation playback or interrupting your workflow.
Ideal for layout, look-dev, and complex scene management, NewView provides a flexible, real-time viewing window that stays responsive and independent, making it easier to analyze scenes from any angle while keeping your main 3ds Max environment running smoothly.
Features
NewView has many unique features that enhance the production pipeline. Here are a few examples.
Floating Viewport: NewView’s viewport is detached from 3ds MAX meaning that you can place it anywhere on your desktop, including your second monitor.
Time Independent: NewView frees you from viewing your scene strictly in current frame of 3ds MAX’s time line. With NewView, you can edit on frame 100 and see your result immediately on frame 200.
Animatible: With NewView, you can playback your animations in real time as you edit.
Independent Object Selection: The objects you view are independent of your object visibility within the scene. This allows the user to focus on editing in 3ds MAX and preview in NewView.
Fast Export: NewView includes the ability to quickly export animation previews (including Alpha information) for export of your scene many times faster and easier than 3ds MAX.
