Hello, I've been using the program for years, and many of the tools are still the same. We need to develop The time slider to include more elements, which would make synchronizing them easier. Show More

Hi, sometimes we need a source of directional light. We must have light source, a shape like rotary fan, a custom render setup and finally post production. All this for a solid light effect and a lot of time for rendering. Why  we don't have the ability to Emmett light from photo white region and we have the ability to define the light strength, opacity, light distance, the rotation of image to have the illusion of rotary fan or other effect, etc...?       Show More

We need generator for environment dust, clouds, sky with color customization, basic fire, god rays, lightning, custom sun color, snow, rain with impact effect, etc. Why we must pay a lot of money for plugin for these basic features.  We need a new partical system.   Show More

Hi, Copying/Pasting keys from one to another object/s should be much simpler and straight foreward. Just like in Adobe After Effects. Its espesially hard when you have to copy/paste to multiple objects and different tracks..   Example 1. Copy/Paste keys directly from the timeline, from one select object to another selected object/s.   Example 2. In the DopeSheet when source object is selected, I am selecting keys/track for example for rotation and scale, and I copiyng (ctrl_C) them, I should be able to paste them just by clicking paste (ctrl_v) when I selected multiple other destination objects. The program should know that I copied rotation and scale - and should paste correct tracks.   Example 3. I would like this routine to look like in After Affects: - with selected object I am pushing "r" + "s" key to expand rotation and scale tracks in DopeSheet. - I am selecting desired keys and clicks copy or ctrl+C - I am selecting 100 destination objects - I am just pushing ctrl+V or paste - done Show More

Pretty much as the subject says, being able to filter keys in the timeline so you only see the ones for the selected modifier in your stack. Show More

Detailed Proposal: The current INode system is a legacy bottleneck for large-scale scenes. Even static objects are forced into a complex evaluation graph that tracks references, animation controllers, and UI events every frame. I am proposing a "Data-Only" state for geometry with the following technical details: Bypass the Reference System: When enabled, the object should stop notifying dependents. No more "Scene Explorer" or "Layer Manager" updates for these static meshes. Static Vertex Buffer: Convert the mesh into a contiguous memory block (Raw Point3 Array). This eliminates the overhead of the traditional modifier stack evaluation. Direct-to-Renderer Stream: The renderer (V-Ray/Arnold) should fetch this data directly as a "Proxy-like" internal object, bypassing the standard 3ds Max translation layer. Selective Data Retention: In Object Properties, let us choose which channels to keep (e.g., Position, Normals, and Map Channel 1 only) while stripping everything else (Vertex Selection, Map Channel 2-99, etc.). Non-Interactive Viewport Item: Treat the object as a "Ghost" in the viewport—visible and fast to draw via Nitrous, but ignored by the selection and hit-testing engine to save CPU cycles. Goal: To achieve the same performance as Alembic GPU Caches or Unreal Engine Static Meshes natively within the .max scene, without the need for external files or complex modifier setups. Show More

Currently when you add a key between two existing keys (animation - doh), the tangent can behave rather "interesting". I looks like it aims at the pre-existing keys and doesn't align with the line as one would expect. I've seen a demo of maya where this is solved, which makes me think it should be in max too. There might have been some double posting going on, but running a fever and trying to figure out the correct place to post, sorry.   Show More

I have 2 camera objects with a different set of keyframes. I want to extend the first camera with the keyframes from camera 2. In Blender this is quite straightforward: select the keyframes > ctrl + c > select the other object > ctrl + v However in 3DSmax this seems impossible to do. Show More

parent or local space animation trajectory _  currently animation trajectory is computed in world space _  which is not working if your camera is animated with your character or object _  Show More

How about an update on the 10 years plus Population tool. For example, allow walking up steep slopes and steps; the ability to work with groups of subjects in scenes such as all facing in the same direction to enable objects in a scene to appear to be being examined etc. I've used the Anima plugin in the past where these suggestions come from, but in my experience this plugin doesn't have the nice workflow that the adverts portray, but the possible interactions between subjects in scenes is good. Show More

How about a tool to animate vehicles similar to that used by City Traffic as this is a great tool for adding realistic traffic to scenes. Show More

make Morpher modifier faster  by creating Non Dynamic - Use Vertex Selection option ----- for example, I have a full body character but I need to work only with face now I'm referencing full body for morph targets because I need full body poly topology for contributing Morphe deformation into final result but I'm working only with facial part,_ with Non Dynamic - Use Vertex Selection I can bound my deformation withing that area, and make calculations faster ----- but I also need existing Dynamic - Use Vertex Selection for other kind deformation setups Show More

A lip Sync tool for 3D characters and creatures that can recognise speech from an audio file. It should be able to recognise phonemes and grapheme such as A, E, FV, L, M, O, S, TH, UWQ and Neutral. Then we should connect the phonemes to corresponding morph targets and have our lip sync animation produced automatically with the press of a button. Of course fine tune the result manually.   Something similar to Voice-O-Matic. Ideally it should work with CAT and Biped systems too.   Is this too much to ask for?  Thanks Show More

I think, Skin modifier -> Weight Tool -> Paste-Pos , is not working   it will be verry helpful , if Autodesk will make it work, especially it will be helpful at skinning shell like wings , like bat Show More

currently after Freeze Transform or Freeze Rotation, resulting Rotation List contains, 1. Euler XYZ for Frozen Rotation 2. Euler XYZ for Zero Euler XYZ   my experience show, that for some reason Linear Rotation for Frozen Rotation, is working more consistent or stable, so, what I'm suggesting is 1. Linear Rotation for Frozen Rotation 2. Euler XYZ for Zero Euler XYZ Show More
