Smart Extrude Enhancements - Smart Extrude now features two new operations when performed with a Shift+Drag extrusion on an Editable Poly or Edit Poly modifier.
Slice Modifier Enhancements - The Slice modifier has been updated with a number of new features to aid modeling tasks.
Symmetry Modifier Enhancements - The Symmetry modifier has been improved to make modeling faster and easier.
- Relax Modifier Enhancement - The Preserve Volume option smooths fine detail and noise on your model while retaining its shape and definition.
Extrude Modifier Enhancements - The Extrude Modifier has been improved to achieve better results quickly and interactively.
Bake to Texture - Bake to Texure now includes a selection of pre-configured maps to streamline frequent baking operations.
Viewport Improvements - The viewport now features more control over ambient occlusion and floating viewport windows.
Arnold Renderer - MAXtoA - This version of 3ds Max includes MAXtoA 4.3.0.78 based on Arnold 6.2.0.0.
Rendering Improvements - 3ds Max 2022 includes a number of improvements to make rendering easier and faster.
Security Improvements - 3ds Max 2022 includes a number of security improvements to protect your 3ds Max scenes and files.
Edit Poly Modifier Enhancement - The Edit Poly modifier now includes Smart Extrude functionality, which was previously only available in the Editable Poly object class.
Autosmooth Function Improvement - Autosmooth has been significantly improved, providing performance gains whether smoothing a thousand faces or a million.
Veras 5.3 introduces NODES, a visual workflow builder now in Beta that lets users generate parametric geometry and bake it directly into Revit, Rhino, or SketchUp. The system shifts Veras from rendering-first to a full generative design platform with interactive design tools.
SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
Maxon's Redshift 2027.0 cuts render times by up to 15% through memory optimization and adds official Archicad integration alongside improved materials and live feedback tools.
Blender 5.3 arrives November 10 with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, an AI-powered denoiser for Cycles that works on RTX 20–50 series cards. The upgrade promises faster interactive lighting workflows at near-final quality.
Chaos released V-Ray for Blender 7.4 with Windows ARM64 compatibility, Phoenix Ocean textures for exterior scenes, Quick Sun Caustics for realistic lighting, and tools to organize large asset libraries and migrate from Blender's native renderer.
Maxon's October 2026 release adds procedural vegetation scattering, reworked GPU memory management in Redshift, and liquid simulation—streamlining environment work and viewport iteration for archviz studios.
A free community plugin now lets 3ds Max users with older GPUs access neural rendering via DLSS 5, potentially speeding up renders without hardware upgrades.
Blender 5.3 arrives November 10 with DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, an AI-powered denoiser for Cycles that works on RTX 20–50 series cards. The upgrade promises faster interactive lighting workflows at near-final quality.
In this walkthrough, we guide you through the process of building a polished 3D interior scene inspired by the cover of Archmodels vol. 306 – Table Sets.
