3ds Max is a professional 3D package written in C++. Runs on Windows 10/11. Core features include polygonal modeling (Editable Poly, Box modeling), modifiers, splines, particle systems (Particle Flow) and renderers (V-Ray, Corona, Arnold). The software uses a modifier stack for non-destructive editing and supports physics (formerly Reactor).

Depending on the context, the term "template" can refer to completely different file types. Use the correct names for accurate search:
Official Autodesk term. Open via New Scene → Template. Set units, renderer, workspace, and starting geometry. Use when starting a project "from scratch".
Professional "starter scenes" with configured furniture, lights, cameras, and interiors. Distributed as regular .max files. Ideal for interior visualization.
Built-in presets in the Material Editor (Physical Material): Metal, Glass, Wood. Define glossiness, transparency, refraction.
What beginners mistakenly call "model templates" (chair, house, tree). In professional catalogs (CGTrader, TurboSquid, 3DOcean), search using these labels.
🖼️ Examples of such scenes include fully modeled living rooms, kitchens, and office spaces with preset cameras and lighting — ready for instant rendering.
💡 Tip: Clarify your goal — creating a new scene, interior visualization, or material setup. This will determine the correct "template" type and save hours of searching.
🔍 Built-in backward compatibility: File → Save As → save up to 3 versions back (e.g., 2025 → 2024, 2023, 2022).
6sense data, 3D rendering segment only.
Ahead of NVIDIA (31.7%) and KeyShot.
🌍 Geography: USA (48%), UK, Canada, Germany. Major clients: Ubisoft, Ernst & Young, Turner Construction, universities. Individual users — millions (estimated).
Active vulnerability (2025): CVE-2025-11795 — critical vulnerability in JPG file parsing. Malicious JPG when opened in 3ds Max (versions <2026.3) causes Out-of-Bounds Write and allows arbitrary code execution. CVSS 7.8 (HIGH).
⚠️ Avoid: torrent trackers, forums with direct file-sharing links without reviews. Always scan archives with antivirus. Remember: even JPG textures can exploit vulnerabilities.
⭐ Best practice: subscribe to commercial libraries (Evermotion, Archmodels) — guaranteed clean files.
