Autodesk 3ds Max 2025

3ds Max 2025 is Autodesk’s 3D modelling, animation and rendering software, widely used for architectural visualisation, product shots, games and motion graphics. The 2025 release makes colour management standard and modernises the interface.

What is new in 3ds Max 2025

• OCIO colour management is the default for new scenes, Vertex Paint is colour-managed, and Bake to Texture lets you choose an output colour space.
• A new Menu Editor for main and quad menus, and a global search that shows recent commands.
• USD for 3ds Max gains viewport selection of USD prims and import of camera, light and blendshape animation.
• Retopology Tools 1.5 with a faster ReForm algorithm.
• Arnold (MAXtoA) with an OptiX 8 GPU engine and cleaner noise at low sample counts.

What 3ds Max is used for

• Polygon, spline and modifier-based modelling.
• Materials and physically based rendering with Arnold.
• Character animation with CAT and Biped, plus particles and fluids.
• Scene assembly for architectural and product visualisation.
• Scripting with MAXScript and Python.

3ds Max 2025 is a stable choice for visualisation studios and designers who rely on established plug-ins and pipelines.

3ds Max can save scenes for up to three earlier releases, which helps when you work with studios on older versions.
