OCTOBER 8 – 17, 2026

The standout feature of this release was the introduction of the . This was a significant jump from previous versions, providing:

: It offered a much higher fidelity in the viewport, including soft shadows, ambient occlusion, and tone mapping that closely mirrored final renders.

: A powerful render pass management system. It allowed artists to record different scene states (lighting, object visibility, materials) and export them directly to Adobe After Effects for compositing.

: These were further refined, offering a more robust ribbon interface for advanced polygon manipulation. Stability and SP2

: This allowed for an interactive rendering preview that used the NVIDIA iray renderer, providing progressive refinement of images as you made changes. Modeling and Workflow

The Advantage Pack was a perk for subscription customers that added tools later integrated into 3ds Max 2013. Key highlights included:

: This release furthered the integration of the mRigids (PhysX) engine, making rigid-body dynamics more stable and easier to set up than the aging Reactor system.
