• Project Manager from Kstudio puts a local AI engine at the heart of your 3ds Max library: it classifies your models automatically—by type, material, form and style—so your library organises itself, with no manual tagging. Find Similar locates matching models by shape and style from any asset or reference image, while Colour Search pulls up models and textures by colour in an instant. Everything runs locally—no cloud, no subscription. Managing a large asset library—Models, Materials, Textures, IES lights, Proxies and more—can quickly eat up hours; Project Manager streamlines every step.

• The stock 3ds Max Ripple modifier hasn't changed in decades — a single sine wave on a flat plane. Ripple Pro is a ground-up replacement: a complete ripple, wake, and rain toolkit.  It installs as a native modifier and works the way you'd expect — drop it on your geometry, dial it in, done. The difference is what's underneath: five different ripple sources, two evaluation modes, a wave-equation simulation, procedural rain with splashes and beads, and the performance and caching to take it from viewport to final render.

• In the dynamic realm of 3D design and animation, the demand for captivating non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) continues to surge, driven by industries like anime, gaming, and advertising. PSOFT’s Pencil+ RenderApp emerges as a dedicated solution, empowering artists to transform 3D models into striking cel-shaded illustrations, intricate line art, and hand-drawn masterpieces with unmatched efficiency. Designed for both seasoned professionals and aspiring creators, this standalone rendering tool bridges the gap between technical complexity and artistic vision, offering a streamlined workflow to achieve anime-inspired visuals, comic book aesthetics, or any stylized project.

• Material Library – Contains over 70 high-quality Vray and Corona material presets. The materials can be applied to Cityscape elements as well as any other object in a scene. (See the Material Library section).
• Surface – Surface geometry is used as a base for all calculations. Once the Curbed Areas are generated on top of it, the exposed part of the surface turns into a road. To start, click the <Pick Surface> button and pick the surface geometry in the scene.
• Note: For best results, the base surface should be a clean, uniform geometry without double faces, holes, flipped polygons or long triangles. Quad polygons are recommended. For optimal calculation times, the surface area and polycount should be low. (See the Knowledge Base section)
• Generate – An interactive button that generates a result. The button turns blue and flashes when changes are detected. The button turns red when problems are detected with input elements.
