Native Point Cloud Support for 3D Studio Max

Yet another Autodesk product is getting native point cloud support. This time it is 3D Studio Max under the name Project Helix. It is an official technology preview available from Autodesk Labs. This is one more piece in the point cloud puzzle. We can now do high quality renders featuring point clouds without the need for another application. I am excited to test this out.

Point Clouds In Maya & 3D Studio

A company that I have not heard of before appears to be the first to bring point clouds into Maya & 3D Studio from Autodesk. They offer a free 21 day trial for anyone interested. It has been to long since I have worked in 3D Studio to attempt to play with this. With any luck though this means were one step closer to having clouds in Revit.
