What does the software allow you to do?:

MODEL
Hybrid subdivision surface/
polygon (N-Gon) modeler
Intuitive control over current workplane
(including align to selected)
Vertex, edge, polygon modeling
modes (can convert and
preserve while switching)
Selection tools (material, item,
lasso, rectangle, circle, invert,
lock, hide/show etc.)
Transform, scale and rotate tools work
on user specified Action Centers
Snap to grid, geometry or guide
Solid Sketch (rapid branching
SubD base mesh creation)
Curve creation tools (Bezier,
curve, patch, tube)
Import curves (Illustrator, .EPS)
Sketch tool creates curves, faces, lines
Edge tools (spin, slide, bevel, bridge,
extend, extrude, collapse etc.)
Vertex tools (create, bevel, extrude,
merge, collapse, center, split etc.)
Polygon tools (draw, bevel, reduce, sketch
extrude, shift, inset, Booleans etc.)
Deformation tools (smooth, sculpt,
taper, bulge, shear etc.)
Duplication tools (instancing, radial and
linear arrays, clone along curve etc.)
Mesh paint tool for adding
geometry like horns to meshes
Vertex mapping
Tack tool for attaching
polygonal objects together
Loop and axis slicing
Morph tool (create morph targets
for an animation system)
Symmetry mode and mirroring
Extensive Falloff System (e.g.
Cylindrical) for tool influence
Reference layers
Open multiple scenes at once
Turntable viewing
Model over backdrop image
Object-to-Object baking
SI, metric and English units supported
PAINT+TEXTURE
Airbrush, paintbrush blur,
smudge, sharpen, erase
Full UV Editor with interactive unwrapping
Paint any image attribute
(e.g. specular color)
See painted results in OpenGL and in
near real-time in a rendered view
Advanced Procedural Textures
Control micropolygon tessellation
via any one or combination of
multiple texture layers
Real-Time Bump Map Painting
Procedural Painting
Parametric ink leverages 3D
data to modulate attributes
Control painting tools with
modeling falloffs
Jitter Nozzle
Image Based Brushes and Inks
RENDER
Quick response—minimal or no lag
until first rendered pixels appear
Fast Ray Tracing with Instancing Support
Global Illumination
Adaptive Micropolygon
Displacement Rendering
Interactive Rendering view
Orthographic Rendering
HDRI lighting
IEEE Floating Point Accuracy
Anisotropic Blurred Reflections
Subsurface Scattering
Realistic Camera Models (depth of
field, lens distortion, motion blur)
Render Baking (e.g. create normal
maps or ambient occlusion maps)
Optimized for modern hardware
architectures and efficient memory use
Proprietary BRDF shading model
which encapsulates the properties
of several popular shading models
