Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2010 introduces several key new
features, including the new Graphite modeling tools, which
provides over 100 new modeling tools unified in an
innovative user interface; powerful new referencing
workflows to organize complex scenes; new Material Explorer
for navigating or modifying all rendering-related assets in
a scene; new xView mesh analysis technology for providing
in-viewport reporting on several types of mesh errors; as
well as ProOptimizer, PFlowAdvanced, and ProSound, which
were formerly only available as a part of the Creativity
Extension. Finally, 3ds Max 2010 offers compatibility with
Autodesk Mudbox, Autodesk Maya and Autodesk
MotionBuilder software through Autodesk FBX and OBJ file
translation. Each of these features are also available in
3ds Max 2010.
