With the Nvidia’s N1X ARM architecture release, Autodesk must prioritize native support for RTX Spark rather than relying on Windows emulation. In the past, critical community requests—such as a native Linux build of 3ds Max or a much-needed PFlow overhaul—were completely ignored by Autodesk developers. However, this hardware shift is fundamentally different. Transitioning to ARM is not a niche request from a subset of power users; it represents the industry-wide evolution of next-generation portable workstations. Autodesk simply cannot afford to ignore this architectural leap, as failing to deliver a native ARM64 version of 3ds Max will force 3D artists to migrate to competing software that fully leverages the massive efficiency and power of the RTX Spark.

Currently we have a weld modifier, could we have a "break" vertex modifier for spline Show More

​[Title/제목] ​Feature Request: Allow OpenSubdiv to pass Edge Crease/Weight data up the modifier stack (like MeshSmooth) ​[Description/본문] ​Currently, the OpenSubdiv modifier in 3ds Max does not pass Edge Crease or Weight data to the upper layers of the modifier stack. For example, if the stack is [Editable Poly -> OpenSubdiv -> Chamfer], the top Chamfer modifier cannot read the original crease data from the Editable Poly. ​Why this is a problem: ​Broken Non-Destructive Workflow: To preserve edge data for a non-destructive Chamfer workflow, we are forced to use the legacy MeshSmooth modifier. However, MeshSmooth is CPU-dependent and causes severe viewport lag on complex meshes compared to OpenSubdiv. ​Competitor Advantage: Blender uses the exact same Pixar OpenSubdiv technology but successfully passes this data to subsequent modifiers. This structural limitation in 3ds Max is one of the key reasons hard-surface modelers are migrating to Blender. ​Request: Please update the OpenSubdiv modifier architecture in 3ds Max so it preserves and passes underlying sub-object data (Crease, Weight, Smoothing Groups) up the stack, exactly like MeshSmooth does. We need the GPU performance of OpenSubdiv without sacrificing the non-destructive modifier stack data flow. Show More

AEC Wall creation would need X or Y constraint and angle constraint while creating the wall object, like with Line creation.  Show More

AEC Wall creation would need "create line" in "edit vertex" sub object (like in "edit spline" modifier) to be able to create more wall segments directly instead of having to create a new wall object for any wall which is not contiguous. Show More

The idea behind the smart bevel modifier is good, but there are some key features missing:   Problem 1: Because Smart bevel uses the edge vertices created by (for instance) the Boolean modifier, there are intersection vertices. These create unevenly distributed (and pinching) geometry that results in shading problem. Blender Mesh Machine Offset Cut for instance does about the same thing, but with evenly distributed edges along the newly created chamfer geometry.   Problem 2: Ideally there should also be edge loops of 'inset geometry' along the edges of the new chamfer that are perpendicular to the original surrounding geometry. This would result in 2 edges on either side of the new chamfer geometry being perpendicular / flat to the original geometry and would create much better shading.    Solution 1: Add an extra setting/option to have the new geometry loops have distributed geometry like in Blender Mesh Machine Offset Cut or Boolean like modifiers like Hard mesh, Smooth Boolean, Modo Meshfusion etc.    Solution 2: Add an extra setting/option to have inset loops cut in the original geometry that are perpendicular/flat to the surrounding original geometry.      Show More

It would be nice to have the option to align spline tangents when trying to eventually create smooth surfaces with these curves with the Surface modifier. Speaking of, it would be nice if more attention was given to splines and Surface modeling in general.    Show More

The boolean modifier is nice, but there are missing features to use it in more cases.   it should be possible (like in proboolean) do disable the update completly for the whole boolean modifier. it should be possible to re-extract operands as instances (not remove, but extract). an selected operand should stay visible during modifying (e.g. edit poly subselection modifying) BUG: when using "live reference" and creating a copy of the object with the boolean-modifier and also of the live-reference-objects the links should stay intact and be linked to the copied live-reference-objects. now the boolean get damaged an the operands are completly broken.   best regards, Simon Show More

The EditPoly's Chamfer-tool works on corner edges AND edges on a flat surface. Unfortunately the Chamfer-modifier does not do the latter - edges on flat surfaces are not affected. That must be changed! Illustration: Two cubes with selected both: corner-edges and an edge-loop on flat surfaces Left cube: Chamfer-tool | right cube: Chamfer-modifier Show More

When switching cameras, the corresponding background image should automatically update to match the selected camera. This is a much-needed feature for modeling workflows, as it ensures visual consistency and reduces manual adjustments during setup. Show More

Hello,  we need a new tool to  speed up the work of " irregular solar panel installation or arrangement" on a irregular surface. --> Many differents raws to project and  align in a landscape.    PLUS The possibility to detect the many closed shapes  ( the solar panel) from the DWG file.  and projecting 3d instances solar panels maiden in 3ds max Thank you  Show More

The Standard Bitmap node hasn't beed updated since ages or the very beginning. We need Bicubic Interpolation in Standard Bitmap node - like in OSL UberBitmap or Corona Render or anything else.   Unfortunately I can't use OSL UberBitmap because textures with alpha gets the dirty outline. I also can't use Corona Bitmap because its slow and cant wire the offset parameter to manipulator.   Also, we need additinoal node that can extract alpha channel as grey from the btmap. The Ouput node doesnt have that feature, you can add it. Show More

When extruding a spline the cap is usually shown as one large cap instead of continuing the topology from the sides. What I do is I add a TurnToPoly and check "Limit polygon size".  It would be nice if that feature was directly in the extrude modifier.  Thanks. Show More

It would be great to have a handful of preset buttons next/on top of the soft selection tab. These presets would have some common curves for moving subobjects without having to edit the curve manually.  Show More

Powernurbs is a plugin by Integrityware that allows users to model with solid/surface NURBS inside of 3DS Max.  (These are not the NURBS tools that are already in 3DS.) In a nutshell, for about 15 (yikes!) years now I use Powernurbs as my "Rhino" inside 3DS Max, giving an extremely well balanced way to do industrial design concepts with the proper exports (STP, IGS, SLDPRT etc.) while not directly moving away from a very free way of designing and world building. (Alias and Fusion are perhaps too parametric for this sort of "in between" application.)  Because of good conversion to mesh and proper mesh control, entertainment industry standards can also be served. This is great bandwidth coming out of 1 application. I modeled some high profile stuff with it over the years, including ships for Star Trek as well as the IXS Enterprise (NASA's "warpship") some yachts and some household products.   Right now, when you import a STP file into max, it will be read as a body object. As far as I know, that tech is already 100% based on Powernurbs/Integrityware code. (Just like Proboolean tools are) In short, it would be a small step for Autodesk to integrate these tools directly and a huge step for 3DS Max if it comes to versatility. 🙂 Autodesk would have a direct competitor for Plasticity and, up to a level, Rhino inside Max. I'm reasonable sure Integrityware would be open to this as well.   Thank you for taking this into consideration! Image for attention. 🙂 (3DS Max, Powernurbs, Chaos Vantage, PS)  Example of the additional tools within max. Show More

Currently when editing a splines there's no way to hide the vertices if I want to edit the segments. This can be hard to work with with spline that have a lot of vertices.  Maybe instead of hiding vertices they can turn into a small dot. Show More

The flatten brush in 3dsmax doesn't have the XYZ custom ability that most other brushes have which is very important when free forming natural terrain. Particularly the ability to Z-Flatten terrain in areas where you want to put structures on. Every map editor that i've ever used in the past that always had the ability to z-flatten. Show More
