Whether you’re an architect, designer, civil engineer, 
or visualization specialist, Autodesk

 3ds Max

 Design 
2011 software provides a powerful, integrated toolset 
that helps you to more rapidly iterate on design concepts 
and accurately analyze daylight effects, and to create 
higher-impact visuals as you explore, validate, and 
communicate the story behind your design. 
Smart Data Workflows 
Save time, manage resources better, and deliver higher- 
precision results with new workflows in 3ds Max Design 
2011 that help you handle data from numerous sources 
more intelligently. Visualizations for Autodesk

Architecture software designs can be refined, even 
while changes continue to occur, by using the new 
Autodesk
®
 FBX
®
 file link. Solids or surfaces can now 
be imported from Autodesk
®
 Inventor
®
 software 
or from SAT files while retaining the mathematical 
description of the solid or surface. Now, cutaways 
and reveals can be shown with fewer artifacts, and 
dynamic tessellation parameters can optimize memory 
usage or performance. The new Autodesk Materials 
Library helps simplify data exchange with the 
AutoCAD

 families of software, while a new SKP importer 
provides higher-fidelity files from Google

Refine Your Design 
Productivity enhancements in 3ds Max Design 2011 
mean more time to iterate on your design, enabling 
you to be more creative and produce higher-quality 
results. Expanded Graphite and Viewport Canvas 
toolsets deliver intuitive new brush-based interfaces 
for 2D/3D painting, texture editing, and object placement, 
while a new in-context direct manipulation UI helps 
make polygon modeling faster. At the same time, 
the enhanced ability to view most 3ds Max texture 
maps and materials in the viewport means you can 
make interactive decisions in a higher-fidelity context, 
helping reduce errors and saving time. And, for projects 
where collaboration is critical, a significantly enhanced 
workflow with Containers enables multiple team 
members to work in parallel, making tight deadlines 
less of a challenge.
Higher-Quality Presentations in Less Time 
Throughout the design process, you need to present 
your evolving design to internal and external 
stakeholders—and the way you do that can make the 
difference between winning business and walking away 
empty handed. 3ds Max Design 2011 brings new tools 
that enable you to create compelling presentations 
even when time is at a premium. An intuitive new 
The Viewport Canvas, 
Slate node-based material 
editor, and Quicksilver 
Hardware Renderer help 
me work faster and better 
on everyday work. The 
ability to save in the 3ds 
Max 2010 file format is 
one of the most important 
additions, enabling me to 
work in 2011 and then 
deliver the final project 
using the old file format 
without compatibility 
problems. 3ds Max Design 
2011 is a must have.

Every Design Has a Story 
 
Compatible with the Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010 release, 
Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 software delivers compelling 
new techniques for helping to aggregate data, iterate ideas, 
and present the results.
