Performance of the MeshSmooth modifier has been improved, with the underlying NURMS algorithm now “up to 15% faster”. Of the existing 3D modelling tools, the Chamfer modifier gets its tenth update since 2019, this time to reduce self-intersection artefacts and generate better normals.

Potential uses range from procedural modelling and scene layout – Autodesk has a demo of the new modifier in use to distribute books on a bookcase – to creating motion graphics-type effects.ģD modelling: updates to retriangulation and the Chamfer and MeshSmooth modifier Unlike the existing Array command, it is possible to edit parameters after an array has been created. The clones can be arranged into grids or radial arrays, or distributed along a spline or across the surface of another mesh, with options to vary or randomise their size and rotation, and their material properties. The main new features in 3ds Max 2023.2 is the Array modifier, which clones a source mesh, and arranges the clones into a procedural array. New parametric Array Modifier for procedural modelling and scene layout The update adds a new Array Modifier, for tasks ranging from procedural modelling to creating motion graphics, and improves chamfer operations, mesh retriangulation and glTF export. Autodesk has released 3ds Max 2023.2, the latest update to the 3D modelling and rendering software.
