New nested layer functionality within Scene Explorers helps you better organize data. Manage complex scenes faster and more easily. Use an intuitive click-drag workflow to help connect different nodes and create shader networks. Create advanced HLSL viewport shaders with the ShaderFX real-time visual shader editor. Work in the 3ds Max viewport substantially faster and more interactively with new improvements that help accelerate navigation, selection, and viewport texture baking, especially with dense meshes and scenes with texture maps.

Handle greater complexity with new support for point cloud datasets, enhanced viewport performance, new scene management workflows, a more responsive ActiveShade, and more. Create high-resolution 3D assets for games, film, and motion graphics projects with comprehensive animation, modelling, and rendering tools.
