Motion Paths
Manipulate animations directly in the viewport and get direct feedback when making adjustments in your scene.
-
Character animation and rigging tools
Create procedural animation and character rigging with CAT, biped, and crowd animation tools.
-
General animation tools
Use keyframe and procedural animation tools. View and edit animation trajectories directly in the viewport.
-
Max Creation Graph controllers
Author animation controllers, using a new generation of animation tools that you can create, modify, package, and share.
-
Particle Flow effects
Create sophisticated particle effects such as water, fire, spray, and snow.
