Discreet, a division of Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), today announced the newest version of its acclaimed 3D modelling, animation and rendering solution 3ds max® 6 at the SIGGRAPH Exhibition in San Diego, California.
This major software release for 3D and 2D graphic professionals will offer advanced customer-driven capabilities that enable the professional 3D artist, developer and designer to evolve to a higher level of quality, sophistication, and productivity - as they create top-selling games, motion picture visual effects, or intricate visualisations for building design, industrial or government simulation. The many new features in 3ds max 6 have been included following feedback and requests from leading film effects, design visualisation, and game development customers, including SEGA Corporation Japan. Designers and animators across all professional design industries will enjoy the depth and breadth of the new 3ds max 6 features to create their 3D designs with more creative tools and speed.
