In this two-hour film, Autodesk brings together some of its developers from the 3ds Max team. During the feature-length runtime, Logan Foster, Shawn Olson (both Product Owners for 3ds Max) and Thomas Berg (VFX Generalist) explain some of the latest improvements. The focus of the video is on modelling tools and USD.

And if your favourite subject at school was history, or if you’re currently scouring Assassin’s Creed Valhalla for loot anyway, scroll down to minute 39:34 in the video, because that’s where Thomas Berg’s case study “Norwegian Viking Documentary: Olav” starts.

So, pour some mead into the sustainable stainless steel thermos flask and pick up some 3ds Max learnings!
