What is the 3D studio max? Give me the best definition.

3D Studio Max, is a professional 3D computer graphics program for making3D animations, models, games and images. It is developed and produced by Autodesk Media and Entertainment. It has modeling capabilities, a flexible plug-in architecture and can be used on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is frequently used by video game developers, many TV commercial studios and architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization.

 

In addition to its modeling and animation tools, the latest version of3ds Max also features shades (such as ambient occlusion and subsurface scattering), dynamic simulation, particle systems, radiosity, normal map creation and rendering, global illumination, a customizable user interface, and its own scripting language.

one of Autodesk products, and they have a similar software: Maya and Softimages. you will find a little bet changes in context and extra features.

3D Studio Max is one of the software by Autodesk in which you can Make3D Designs (Modeling, Lighting, Animation, Rendering) for Architectural, commercial, Product, Post Production, visual effects, Dynamics, scripting etc.. 

 

Formerly known as "3D Studio,"3ds Max is a3D modeling, animation and rendering program from the Media and Entertainment division of Auto desk, Inc., San Rafael, CA (www.discreet.com). Widely used in the areas of interactive games, visual effects for movies and industrial design models, the software lets you create2D shapes that become the cross sections of the3D models. The application includes an animation module that uses inverse kinematics, which links components so that they move together, adding to the effect of bringing a character to life.3ds Max carried Auto desk's Discreet brand name until2005

 

 

A Plug-in  for3ds Max (formerly3D Studio) from the Media and Entertainment division of Auto desk, Inc. (www.autodesk.com) that enables two-footed characters (people, cartoons, robots, etc.) to be animated automatically. A generic skeleton is used to define the path of movement, and the user's own character design is overlaid onto it. Its advanced features include forearm segmentation for realistic movement and function curves that are quaternion-based. Character Studio was marketed under Auto desk's Discreet software imprint until2005 when Discreet was re branded.
