Discreet will be shipping 3ds max 7.5 to its subscription customers starting in April. This new release will include three main areas of enhancements.
Hair and Fur—Based on Joe Alter's highly regarded "Shave and a Haircut" solution, Hair and Fur will offer numerous styling and dynamics tools for creating amazingly realistic hair and other strand-derivative effects.
- mental ray 3.4—Delivering numerous optimizations, mental ray 3.4 will include faster final gathering performance, double precision computation for ray tracing and fast rasterization for first-generation rays.
- Autodesk VIZ—With the very latest technologies from Autodesk VIZ, product designers, architects, inventors and others in the design visualization arena will have the advanced modeling, lighting, rendering and animation tools that are exclusive to 3ds max combined with the unique design-oriented functionality of Autodesk VIZ—all in a single package.
Not that along ago, Discreet released the Cloth extension to its customers. So those that are on subscription with 3ds max are getting their value this year already. For more information on this from fellow blogger and friend Beau, visit his blog Will Render for Food.
Sincerly,
Lee
