The interfaces are identical, with only variations in command availability, so an environment using both VIZ and MAX would be very efficient from a training standpoint.

With a significantly lower purchase price than MAX, VIZ also offers designers in other disciplines an economical 3D Studio entry point.Īs a MAX user, I was immediately at home in VIZ.

While VIZ lacks some of MAX's advanced animation and post-processing tools necessary for media production, VIZ adds construction and CAD interface tools that greatly improve productivity in an architectural environment. VIZ and MAX share the same user interface, plug-in architecture, scripting language, and rendering engine. 3D Studio VIZ is an adaptation of 3D Studio MAX, tailored to enhance productivity in the AEC environment.
