Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2009

With the release of Autodesk’s new 3ds Max Design 2009, the era of Autodesk Viz officially comes to a close. Positioned to take over the market that Viz filled, Max Design 2009 essentially replaces AutoDesk Viz for the Architectural Visualization market, while the original Max 2009 is still geared towards the traditional visual effects and entertainment industries.

With the release of Autodesk’s new 3ds Max Design 2009, the era of Autodesk Viz officially comes to a close. Positioned to take over the market that Viz filled, Max Design 2009 essentially replaces AutoDesk Viz for the Architectural Visualization market, while the original Max 2009 is still geared towards the traditional visual effects and entertainment industries.
The primary benefit to getting rid of Autodesk Viz is that instead of two development teams and two sets of code to write, there is only one primary engine, so (hopefully) the benefit will be apparent—a more stable, more intuitive software with a bigger jump in feature sets and fixes between releases.
The primary differences between the two versions are simple. Max 2009 includes the SDK (software development kit) for those people who like/need to create their own plugins. Max Design 2009 includes a new lighting analysis tool for assisting in LEED 8.1 (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation. Additionally, the tutorials and samples that ship with each version are tailored to the software’s respective audiences.
If you’re like me, you’re wondering why not just have one version of the software with both the SDK and the light analysis tool. I’m really not sure of the answer, especially because both versions of the software are the same price, and if you are on subscription, you have the choice of choosing either version of the software upon install. At least with Autodesk Viz, the price point was much cheaper than the full version of Max, making it much more attractive for the budget conscience than its full blown counterpart.
