New 3ds Max 2012

Autodesk announced a new version of the world's most popular 3D animation and visualization software - 3ds Max 2012. Max 2012 is built on a new graphical kernel "Nitrous" that uses multi-core processors (CPU) and graphics card processors (GPU) to dramatically increase performance and quality of viewport display in large 3D scenes. New intelligent "Substance" textures are resolution-indenpendent. NVIDIA PhysX is used to compute dynamic simulations inside 3ds Max. The integrated "iray Renderer" uses the iray rendering technology by mental images supporting hardware acceleration of NVIDIA GPUs.

Online STL2DWG converter
A new feature on the CADforum.cz portal is the web application that converts (translates) any text- or binary STL file (3D stereolitography) to AutoCAD 3D entities. Choose your STL file (max. 20MB), start the upload with the "Convert" button and let the file upload finish. The result of the conversion can be then downloaded and dragged to the AutoCAD window (SCR file), or directly opened (DXF file) - it will be loaded/imported automatically.
