3D MAX 2016 INSTALL
3D MAX 2016 UPDATE

Users can now create decals and text-based graphics using still or animated 2D objects.

3D MAX 2016 INSTALL

DonвЂ™t have Print Studio on your system yet? The new functionality will alert you to its absence and help you easily install it.Д¬reating text or shapes as a map in your material is simple with the new text and shape map. Ready to 3D print your model, scene, or creation? With Extension 2, you can launch AutodeskвЂ™s Print Studio application directly from 3ds Max with a single click. Apply render styles, CFD velocity fields, and animate airflow splines to make your data come to life while at the same time harnessing the capabilities of 3ds Max for realistic or artistic presentations. Ideal for non-programmers, these tools can be used to animate simulation data in CFD, CSV, or OpenVDB formats. Finally, you can easily add buttons to your MCG tools via the signal parameter, or color pickers via the new color parameter.ДЄutodesk CFD subscribers will be able to visualize their data in a whole new way with a new MCG toolset and 3ds Max features that make importing, parsing, and display of simulation data sets in 3ds Max much easier. Another addition to MCG is the ability to import data from bitmaps and simulation data like CSV or Open VDB files that can be tracked with your scene as assets so you can animate accurate simulation data inside the scene.

Bitmap handling and meshing also got a boost in functionality. Now in Extension 2, the functionality and capabilities have grown with the addition of procedural MCG shapes and splines. Max Creation Graph (MCG) was introduced in the 2016 release as a node-based, procedural content, programming view. The new TextPlus feature, introduced in Extension 1, now has the ability to use text strings and shapes to be used as a material map, creating material decals in your scene.The new Texture Object Mask modifier allows users to position and animate textures on an object using other objects in the scene.With the new built-in вЂњSend ToвЂќ Autodesk Print Studio button, users can quickly export and 3D print any of their 3ds Max creations.With fundamental improvements in the Max Creation Graph (MCG), users can now animate accurate simulation data like Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) data or other data inside their 3ds Max scenes.If this isn't cleared up soon I think we will go back to try 2015.Extension 2 for AutodeskВ® 3ds MaxВ® 2016 is now available with a potpourri of new features to help your visualize data in new ways as well as be more creative. I could only test a couple of aspects as I have a deadline and had to move on and do other stuff. Cloning the line to make it part of the max file didn't help, but drawing a new spline in max worked fine again.ДЄs you mentioned seems like there is something going wrong with 3DS Max' connection to autocad which is then influencing different aspects of plugins and Max itself. But using the same line was fine for a RC fence. Same for one of the pavements (didn't test the others so might be the whole batch). For example when connecting to a line (polyline in autocad) the concrete curb would give a 'no geometry' error. When using a dwg link some RC models didn't work. However one remains as far as I could test FP seemed fine again, except for the xref unit message but that is another issue. With a completely clean, emtpy max16 file some of the issues are resolved. Atleast trying to re-connect the FP's and RC's was a bit hit and miss. Guess it doesn't like that.ДЄ completely clean max 2016 file doens't show the same issues. Used our max template (which was created in 2014) which was resaved to 2016 and then loaded the new dwg into it. Seems to be an issue with 2014 going to 2016. Not sure if this is an issue with FP/RC or something in Max2016 but hopefully someone has a solution as I really can't lose x amount of time everytime we have a cad iteration.

3D MAX 2016 UPDATE

It's like RC/FP keeps the link to the old layer (polyline) present in the max file and doesn't recognise it needs to update to the new layer. For example layer: 'FP_trees' gets a duplicate after reloading whereby the original is registered in the file (in the layers its visible) but it isn't actually present in 3d space. And it isn't just the connection that is lost, but Max keeps the original layer and adds a new one from the relink. However this week we moved from MAX2014 to MAX2016 (clean install on my new pc) and now all the FP and RC connections (aswell as floorgenerator) loses their connections on reload. This enables us to quickly create iterations in autocad and relink the file in max which updates everything. We have used a certain workmethod for a few years now we model in autocad and link the dwg into max.
