Autodesk has announced the release of 3ds Max 2023.1. The main new features include: The ability to extrude and extend spline segments or open vertices using the transform tools in combination with keyboard shortcuts for fast and flexible spline editing. Significant performance improvements to the Turbosmooth, Morpher, and Skin modifier. The ability to save material libraries back to previous versions of Max. Improved File Merge performance A new Zoom Extents on Isolate mode. When exiting from Isolate Mode, 3ds Max will return to the previous Zoom level in the Viewport. Support for Alembic 1.8.3 Improvements to the Chamfer modifier including an enhanced retriangulation algorithm that reduces the chance of long and thin edges, or misaligned edges from occurring and potentially causing visual distortions on the geometry. A new option in the Vertex Paint modifier that allows you to capture existing Vertex information that can then be further edited and manipulated. The Unfold3D Optimiz...

  The Blender Foundation has announced the release of Blender 3.2. New features include: Support for Light Groups to allow users to modify the colour and intensity of lights in post without re-rendering Cycles now supports selective rendering of caustics in shadows of refractive objects. Motion Blur now works with volumetrics. Many poly painting improvements, including the ability to paint in sculpt mode. Preservation of colour attributes when using remesher. Masking, auto-masking and face sets are fully supported with colour attribute painting. A new duplicate elements geometry node. Support for asset collections in the asset browser. A new Curve Pen tool. Grease Pencil gains an envelope modifier that connects all points that are N points apart. Improved channels in the Video Sequencer.

  Chaos has announced a beta version of V-Ray 6 for 3ds Max is now available for testing. This release sees several interesting new features including a real-time clouds system that works with the existing sun and sky tools to create more interesting procedural skies without the need for HDRIs. This release also includes the enigmatically named VrayEnmesh Modifier which allows the user to coat a surface with geometry instead of a texture. Unlike instancing, there is no extra memory used for the repeating geometry which means you can have billions of polygons without any impact on memory consumption. Talking of Instancing, for the first time V-Ray 6 will include Chaos Scatter, the new improved scattering tool that was introduced recently to Corona Version 8. A new mode is added to the V-Ray Dome light called Finite dome. It allows users to fine tune the ground projection using 3 new parameters: Radius, Projection height, and Ground blend. There are also improvements to V-Ray Proxie...

D5 Render has released a new version of its real-time raytracing renderer. The biggest improvement of version 2.2.1 is the improvement of quality in final rendered frames thanks to a significantly optimised anti-aliasing algorithm. In addition, the noise problem previously seen in reflections on glass has been fixed, and frosted glass materials have also been improved. This release also sees a large number of new assgmaets added to the built-in library, including over 100 wall and roof tile materials, water materials, basic shapes, character models, and more. In addition, the facial expressions and animations of human models have been optimised. Source:  https://blog.superrendersfarm.com/news/d5-render-2-2-1-released/
