Viz 2008 Coming Soon!
VIZ 2008 inherits the viewport performance improvements from 3ds Max 9 along with the new mental ray sun/sky and architectural & design shader.
Some features of the new release:
Import projects from AutoCAD 2008 and Revit Architecture 2008 software
applications.
Improved handling of complex scenes with many objects.
Optimized memory management system improves import speed and performance.
Use the Select Similar command to automatically select to multiple imported objects with similar attributes.
Incorporates new mental ray (3.5) rendering technology targeted at visualizing architectural spaces and easily producing photo-real imagery.
Easy-to-use Architectural and Design Shaders with presets for ambient occlusion, rounded corner effects, reflections, and refractions.
Dramatically improved rendering performance, particularly for large, data-heavy scenes.
New physical sun and sky Shaders, based on position and turbidity of the atmosphere.
DirectX optimizations improve interactivity with high-density geometry and complex scenes.
Improvements to file I/O, working with splines, geometry modeling, viewports, and xrefs enhance productivity.
Video-based tutorials.
Printed Quick Reference Guide and Architectural Tutorials Book featuring Revit Architecture 2008 and AutoCAD workflows.
