In complex scenes where a lot of animation animated parameters are scattered in different places. You have to constantly keep in mind where the animation applied. It's convenient if animated parameters could be placed in their own layers.

When undo-ing a scene with multiple links, they are checked and the viewports will flash as the app jumps between the current and first frame for each instance it undeletes. This can take a while as the artist is left with an unresponsive strobbing screen. Apart from a more elegant solution, stop the viewport refreshing until the undo has completed.

It's a good thing that one can fit UV spaces to non-quadratic textures, and the addition of a proper axis gizmo is really great. But using non-quadratic textures also squeezes the gizmo to unmanageable proportions. This needs to be fixed, the gizmo should always have a 1:1 aspect just like using non-quadratic render settings doesn't squeeze the transform gizmo in the viewport.

I predominantly use 3ds max for modelling and some basic camera animation. On occasion a bit of particle flow... I've worked in ArchViz and now marketing for years and still only use a tiny part of 3ds max. I think there is room for a smaller product which would be essentially 3ds max under the hood but stripped back using only modelling, material/lighting and basic animation tools. -Fully inteopable with 3ds max. -Offered on a monthly sub rental but at a much cheaper cost than full 3ds max. -Scanline rederer only and the ability to install 3rd party renderers and as a paid module, Arnold. -No Civil -No Populate -Remove legacy modules such as Radiosity (yep, it's still there) -Allow user to choose the modifiers they need at config statup -No library content included -Maybe drop MCG -Keep Maxscript -Reduced Viewport functionality. Remove XView and Stylised. -Trim this fat lad down some! I think this could be a great opportunity to redesign the massively cumbersome and bloated UI of 3ds max. Dump all the legacy stuff and start fresh. Essentially a UI exercise. I'd love to know what you think.

It would be useful to be able to display the Time (in Slider and Track View) in Seconds and Frames and/or Decimal Seconds. It would also be nice if that format was supported by the Relative input method. So to move the selected frames in the Graph Editor by 10 and a half seconds you could put 'n+10.5' (decimal seconds) or 'n+10:12' (Seconds:Frames assuming 24fps) into the key time field, eg Current options are only

It seems like you guys are spending a lot of time converting all the icons to highres. Well what happens when the industry moves past 4k to 8k, and then 16k.. it'll happen eventually. So why not make a global feature that covers all resolutions. Create max resolution capable versions of each icon ONCE. (big enough for like 32k should cover all bases, but i'm sure 16k would be fine). Then have a feature that asks you what resolution you would like to run Max, and then it downsamples the icons to match your specific resolution. that way you have the perfect UI to match ANY monitor resolution!!! AND you guys never have to redo your icons ever again!!! 😄 Might be more investment in code right now, but it would save much time in the future (pay for itself).

Hello, When i need passes requirement in my project. Sometime it take too much time to doing adding passes for different objects. Is it possible to add pass contribution option in 3Ds Max. It will give more user friendly experience for production and it will save time. If it work there is no need to jump every time to Maya. It will easy if it support 3 party plug in like Vray.

If you're clicking and dragging to edit the value in many iteration-based settings, for example Blob mesh or Garment maker, it's possible to crash max, and indeed your entire system, by slightly wiggling your mouse cursor so that a value goes out of range or to zero units.

The Sub Object selection icons in the Command Panel currently use Red, which does not read well against the grey background- and having a bright yellow highlight- it's always been a bit of an eyestrain. I suggest replacing these with the light grey, black lined buttons from the Ribbon equivalent and making the two consistent. See attached picture of how purdy it is. 🙂
