Autodesk 3ds Max 2017 SP2 Win64 中文/英文多语言版本 + 注册机3D Studio Max，常简称为3ds Max或MAX，是Autodesk公司开发的基于Win系统的三维动画渲染和制作软件。

其前身是基于DOS操作系统的3D Studio系列软件。

在Windows NT出现以前，工业级的CG制作被SGI图形工作站所垄断。

3D Studio Max + Windows NT组合的出现一下子降低了CG制作的门槛，首选开始运用在电脑游戏中的动画制作，后更进一步开始参与影视片的特效制作Extend 3ds Max® with new geometric objects and modifiers by creating graphs in a visual environment similar to the Slate material editor.

Max Creation Graph, a new node-based tool creation environment, lets you create new node types by saving graphs called compounds, or choose from several hundred different node types (operators) that can be connected together to create new tools and visual effects.

New tools can be packaged and shared with other users.

Seems like it’s the same raytracing engine used in 360, but with animation ability.
