According to ExLevel, the new version is said to provide full compatibility with the 2013 versions of the 3ds Max programs and to improve the wind-animation algorithm. There are now color-blending modes for vertex colors, and the Noise Direction Modifier has been given smoother growth for the endpoints.
The shoots(Leave-Meshes) received new options in the area of UVW mapping. According to ExLevel, options such as "Align width" and "Along edge" can now also be used. An interesting feature, however, makes it possible to start 3ds Max scenes that previously caused a crash. By disabling calculations through the ExLevel menu included in the Start menu, these scenes can be started again and modified.
Anyone who has previously been bothered by message and information boxes being displayed permanently should be told that this will no longer be the case in the new version. ExLevel also notes that multiple paths can be selected for deletion or highlighting.
There are a total of three licensing models available for purchase. A single-user license costs 325 dollars, while five seats cost 825 dollars and ten seats cost around 1,250 dollars.
