This kind of cosmetic updates explain the subscription program where you are forced to pay annually regardless improvements. Let's keep this direction and we all eventually end up using Blender.
That's exactly what I think. Autodesk needs to rewrite this thing - released in 1996 - from scratch. Nowadays we have multi-threaded processors and Tensor cores - please pass this news to Autodesk. Just look at Plasticity! This is what modern software should look like. In the meantime, to save my sanity, I shall immerse myself in a Blender crash course😍

Every indie dev and student who don't make a cent don't use max or any paid software so Autodesk doesn't care anyway 😅 blender modeling tool's specially for architecture and visualization is a joke compared to max checkout spline tools in max and so many features in max Im sure we don't even know about . Use student version or don't upgrade no body force y'all to pay annually fee I'm happy with 2024.2 version
10 years worked in 3d max and I loved this soft, but now I working in Blender + Octane render and don't regret it. Blender have an excellent tool for VFX - don't need in additional plugins.
what's the point. 3DSMax is already bloatware with 90s UI and workflow which requires expensive plugins to be efficient. AI tools will most likely render all 3D packages useless (yes, almighty free blender too) at once.
If you go on the 3ds Max ideas page, I posted the top voted idea on the whole website (CAT 2.0) back in 2017 and I suggested the use of AI for animation even back then. If Autodesk cared, they probably would have done something by now but who knows.
@@JingIeFett Autodesk aren’t innovators, they are buyers of existing software and they either kill it by not developing it, or they kill it slowly by developing’ it slowly. Their business model is to buy software that others wrote and then try (miserably) to maintain it….
I will keep using 2024. And waiting for 3ds max 2026.😢😢😢😢😢 If they disappointed us again in 2026 then i will shift to maya 😅😅😅😅😁😁😁. Just kidding . Trying to shift. on blender and unreal engine . they are good and open source to use.
"It's not a massive update" She's right about that, Blender pumps out about about one useful new feature per week while Max tries to sell new window dressing as a feature worth the money you pay towards "development".
Most people who still use 3DS Max (in 2024) are using it because they don't want to spend time to transition to Blender. 3DS Max subscription is basically a lazyness tax.
People use 3ds Max for the Plug-ins. I don't know of a single studio that uses vanilla Max. The Plug-ins are so good that it's a cookie cutter to client's wants and wishes. So far, there's no equivalent in other softwares.
max has rather good modelling tool for polygon, its used mostly for games and archi vis. I agree its a mix of plugins is why early versions were buggy. blender isnt as convenient, max is generally a better tool than blender, max also has better connections/transfer to other softwares and handles large scenes pretty well. people mostly use blender coz its free., and beginners/hobbyist to 3d will want to try, 3dmax is in a way too pricy for individuals and subscriptions is totally a money grab that sucks. A lot of plugins were exclusive to max in beginning like vray/forest pack/rail clone/speedtree/ character studio etc they were great for scene building.
Nah. I have blender for 5 years and I'm still considering on buying the Indie version of max because it is much faster to model. By the way, I'm a professional Architect now working as an Indie Game Developer.
I am totally new to 3DS Max. I am taking a class and am in the 3rd week. We are using 2025 and I am totally lost. I had a lot of trouble following the video tutorials for unwrapping. The edit in face sub-object mode is impossible to find without help. Totally different button and different place. Ambient, Diffuse, and Specular color options are gone in the Compact Material Editor. What do these options map to in the 2025 version? So, next time you make a video on what's new, please include all the new options. HELP!
Save Incremental has been there in previous versions for a while...... Even your video is only 4 minutes long because there is nothing much in this 'update'.....
It would be enough for me if bugs that have been around for 10 years were finally fixed and CAT finally worked properly. But as you can read here, not one of them is satisfied with Autodesk
Hey 3ds Max developer team, Just a heads up for 2024: before tweaking 3ds Max features, consider updating your mindset first. It's time to dive into the AI era instead of getting stuck on old upgrades.
Thank you! It would be great to have another video where you explain in detail how does the new color management work... I hade troubles while exporting my vfb renders... hahaha i know understand a bit!
I wish pressing hide on a group would hide all the visible elements of the group. This should have been impemented in 3DSMax 1.1, but somehow still in 3DSMax 2025 hiding a group doesn't do anything. Didn't anybody complain? How silly is that?
Ive been using 3dsmax for 20 years and love to see your videos showing us the updates. Btw I think we are not getting relevant updates for the software.
The UI and other foundational things breaking at random is what killed my love for the suite. It's been a recurring for well over a decade now but they simply haven't bothered looking in to these things. Autodesk needs to step their game up.
Arguably the worse Major release ever! As a 3ds Max user. Im so disappointed every year! Its possible to have 1 year of work of dozens of people to get a few modifier updated? Just see Blender features for each version!
Autodesk desn't care about 3dsmax anymore..... I am doing architecture renderings for many years and its doing the job for for me. I wish autodesk will add some features from Lumion or Twinmotion like real sky or libraries for trees and other stuff to increase efficiency.
We need proper measurement and functionalities like accurately typing values while move, rotate and scale tool is prompted. I hate to eyeball the measurement as i drag objects. I find max more interesting than sketchup for its ability to create complex polygonal modeling.. I wish max can also sculp I wish it can have some plugins similar to tissue addons of blender. These are the updates I will wait to happen but i think it will never ever happen
@@tmule424 you can only preview the measurement but the way you move or rotate with accuracy still suvks. Drop and drag it. Eyeballing it sucks. Snaps are painful to use. Clashes are everywhere.
that seems like no improvement at all. One feature I would suggest is the better highlighting for material on slate material editor when you select an object, instead of having to use the picker everytime.
Nothing special, as usual... They could have done autosave in the background, for example. Or at least the working ESC button when autosaving (when there is more than one box in the scene)...
Hardware have noting to do with realism... It only affect the performance. Watch my tutorial on CZcams or join my corse to learn how to create realistic visualizations ;)
can someone guide me how to apply exact color in render from the references I have received from clients any tutorial on how to achieve exact colurs in render ..I use vray for rendering
no body force y'all to pay annually fee I'm happy with 2024.2 version plz stop hating the software hate the Autodesk again max ribbon tools spline tools like loft sweep lathe array pick path section and ... Making super easy and fast workflow Arnold render and so many amazing modifier can not compare it to something like blender every big architecture visualization use max not blender for a reason
But architectural rendering is quite easy compared to making movies, cartoons, games...which blender and unreal are quite capable off...what is so specifically hard to achieve in architectural rendering that only 3ds.max and corona/vray/ Arnold can
Arch viz, you should stop pretending that your updates are new. The main thing you are talking about is 3ds max. If that is the case, why can't you connect directly to 3ds max? You have to send 3ds max after connecting it to blender. Also, the main thing I want to say is cosmos. Why don't you invent cosmos plants and people to do animation? .

This is actually the exct opposite of cosmetic update. It has a lot of under the hood core re-writes that everybody have asked.
The video length tells me what's new in 3dsmax2025 😂😂😂
This looks more like a 24.4 update than a new version...
For me in 3ds max 2026 the new icons will be the best deal :)
😂
I love autodesk and their "this could have been an email" type of releases.
and this is becoming a channel for ads
This is a great Blender promotional video…..
I’d be using blender if it didn’t crash every 2 minutes when working on large landscapes

such a small upgrade
fix update - not even a small upgrade. The menu editor has the same functions in my 3ds max 2021. no new feature..
like the developers penis
A point upgrade pretending to be a major version.
I think they should start implementing AI features otherwise 3ds max will be obsolete/ outdated due to the new dynamics we are currently experiencing

"It's not a massive update"
She's right about that, Blender pumps out about about one useful new feature per week while Max tries to sell new window dressing as a feature worth the money you pay towards "development".
"Save incremental" took the developers 1 minute to add it there. It was already available from years, just not there.

Can you explain a little more? The uv editor is one of the best in the industry. Particularly for me the best built-in editor is of Maya.

The last two updates have given hope. 3ds Max 2025 is the most embarrassing major update ever.
productivity and nothing new,I think it's time to call bad bad
What is a relation between 3dsmax OCIO color space and rendering engine like Corona or V-Ray ? Does Corona implement this space or works on its own ?
Arguably the worse Major release ever!

We need meauring tape in 3ds max like sketchup. There is a plugin named Di master but its very buggy.
In other words, there isn’t a plug-in.

What's New in 3ds Max 2025!! Nothing
Bit like browsers adding a corner radius to buttons while some bugs have been let unpatched for a decade.
Your "Arnold" section, uses the previous title for the USD...
I wish 3dsmax 2026 models whatever we want just by writing a text and it complete 90 percent of the job by AI and gives us the option to edit it
Small and precious updates..

hello, some times ago i saw video on your channel about like top 5 sites with free 3 models but i cant find this video, can u link this video plz)

if you want exact color from Image to 3d max then you can check RGB value of that color via Photoshop and apply same color Value in 3d max
plz tell me vray 2025
2025 out in April 2024... whyy ?
because you will be using it in 2025 when all plugins will be ready and stable to use with it ;)
Because it’s sooooooo advanced it’s ahead of its time………..
