New Features in 3ds max 7.5
---------------------------
Hair and Fur¿Based on Joe Alter's "Shave and a Haircut" solution, the hair and fur in 3ds max 7.5 software offers numerous styling and dynamics tools for creating realistic hair and other strand-derivative effects. These include:
-- Styling tools--brush tool for combing hair and brushing along complicated contours with "re-comb," as well as support for clumping and frizz for added realism
-- Hair dynamics tools--using the dynamics engine of Shave and the dynamic forces of 3ds max to inherit inertia directly from the Skin or any other modifier's surface movement
-- mental ray integration--fast, memory-efficient and direct rendering using the native mental ray hair primitive
-- Hair, plus--instanced geometry can be used as individual hairs to easily create forests, fields of flowers and other landscapes
mental ray 3.4--3ds max 7.5 software will feature mental ray 3.4, mental images' most current version. Each seat of 3ds max 7.5 will provide access to numerous mental ray 3.4 optimizations, including faster final gathering performance, and fast rasterization for first-generation rays.
Visualization Features--3ds max customers in design markets often require a broad cross-section of 3D and visualization tools. With the subscription delivery of 3ds max 7.5, product designers, architects, inventors and others in this space will have the advanced modeling capabilities offered in 3ds max and Autodesk VIZ in a single package.
