Autodesk’s subscription customers are receiving Pro Booleans, an exclusive new feature extension for 3ds Max8, the company’s leading 3D modeling and animation software. Based on Power Booleans from NPower Software, Pro Booleans promises to bring expanded flexibility to Max’s installed modeling tools for higher-quality results.
According to Autodesk, Pro Booleans is ideal for building highly detailed, inorganic shapes such as vehicles, hand-held items or mechanical objects for use in visual effects, game development and design visualization. The extension can also be used to quickly create detailed, accurate surfaces with fewer polygons. With it, 3ds Max subscription customers also get Pro Cutter, a tool designed to dismantle a model in a number of different ways for shattering glass and other animation effects.
Autodesk expects to deliver Pro Booleans for its 3ds Max 8 subscription
customers this winter. The company’s 3ds Max 8 software is available for the suggested retail price of $3495, and 3ds Max subscriptions are available for an
additional $440. Non-subscription customers can purchase Power Booleans directly from NPower Software for $295. For more information, contact an Autodesk Authorized Reseller or go to http://www.autodesk.com/subscription.
