When importing complex architectural CAD files or managing large-scale floor plan layouts in 3ds Max, viewport performance drops significantly. The lack of optimized tracking, snapping accuracy, and lag with high spline counts makes drafting and verifying architectural documentation directly inside 3ds Max slower than it should be. This forces a disjointed workflow between CAD software and 3ds Max when generating clean 2D/3D documentation assets. Proposed Solution / Feature Request I propose an optimized "Documentation Mode" or an upgraded spline/snapping engine specifically tuned for handling massive layout vectors. Key improvements should include: Enhanced Spline Optimization: Better handling of dense line-work without viewport stutter. Smart Architectural Snapping: More reliable vertex and edge snapping when working on 2D layouts over heavy 3D geometry. Isolate/Focus View for Layouts: A quick toggle to temporarily flat-shade or isolate active documentation planes while maintaining reference to the main model. Workflow Benefit Time Efficiency: Reduces the constant back-and-forth between external CAD applications and 3ds Max for minor layout adjustments. Streamlined Pipeline: Allows architectural visualizers to create clean, accurate, and client-ready floor plan documentation directly within their primary 3ds Max scene. Performance Boost: Prevents system lag during crucial presentation drafting phases. 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

The indicated parameter "Lighting Mode". Please open this up to script manipulation as at my company we are in dire need of it for efficiency. Also it would be helpful for this parameter and the "Keep Tris on Export" parameter to change multiple object properties at once. Currently we have to select each object that needs export individually and set both of these parameters. Yes "Keep Tris on Export" is accessible via script, but it would be VERY helpful if "Lighting Mode" was as well.  It would be great to just select all objects needed for export and click a button! Thank you. Show More

Hi,  Can you add this simple functionality? After Drag and drop an image file to 3ds max - an image plane with this texture should be created. With correct size.  Just add it as a 3rd option.   Come on, its simple as Finger snap, you could code it in 10 minutes.   Yes ... I know there are scripts   But again, its simple and and should be added as standard functionality..   Show More

Is it possible to add some kind of legacy interface that could run older plugins. For example in max 2028 we could still use plugins compiled for 2026 or 27. 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, it has happened a few times before that we had a problem with a not so perfect 3d track from tracking software. We missed it a couple of times, it showed up in compositing after rendering the 3D plate. They were easy fixes in comp so we left it at that - we figured the 3d track was not good and we just missed it. But this time I decided to get to the bottom of a case we encountered. Same thing - rendered a 3d plate for a 3d tracked shot - the rendered plate does not sit exactly, pixel perfect - obviously the track is not perfect - back to 3D tracking software - the track is perfect - imported the FBX camera file to Blender - the track is perfect - imported the FBX camera file to 3ds Max - the track is NOT perfect Turns out the FBX importer does a key reduction pass after importing - simplifying all animation keys. This was a surprise for us especially as it is not documented in the Max help, and there is no way to disable the process. The only reason I found it was thanks to people in the Beta forums and they directed me to MXS SDK, where this key reduction is documented together with a MXS code to disable it - unfortunately that setting is not sticky 😞   Now I understand why this function exists, and people on the forums explained to me why it's a good thing that it is on by default. But please, there needs to be an option in the FBX importer dialog to disable it at will. People need to know that the importer might alter their animation. Especially that the key reducer is dumb, has a set tolerance threshold in system units and it is possible, that if you import your FBX animation into a large scene with large system units, like kilometers or miles - the ENTIRE animation will be erased by the key reducer 😮 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

Hi, starting splash screen should show  some inspiring image created by users. One new for each year. Like there is in Adobe products. Long time ago 3ds max splash screens had Nice images.  This kind of change would be amazing for the community.   Come on its the graphics software we want to see some,  great , inspiring images not that same All over again. And its more comfortable to watch something beautiful than just this technical souless banner.   What do you think?   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

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

Hello, I would like to request a feature improvement for 3ds Max. It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to control object visibility per viewport, allowing objects to be hidden in specific viewports (such as Top or Front) while remaining visible in Perspective or Camera views. This functionality would significantly improve workflow efficiency, especially for architectural modeling and documentation, where clean orthographic views are essential without affecting 3D visualization. Thank you for considering this request. Show More
