Autodesk® 3ds Max® 20th Anniversary
As Autodesk 3ds Max celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year,
we invite you to join us on a journey through time.
We encourage you to send us anecdotes, photos, project clips, or well wishes for 3ds Max to add to this site. Please email them to maxturns20@autodesk.com.
In the coming months, we will re-live the most memorable product developments and celebrate the hundreds of films, games, television shows, and architectural designs that you and the software have helped bring to life. We will also look to the future and show how new technological innovations will foster even greater creativity, productivity, and inspiration in the years to come.
Of course what this anniversary is really about is you – our worldwide 3ds Max community. The passion and contributions of many of you have given a dimension to the 3ds Max experience that’s impossible to manufacture. Therefore, we invite you to participate in the celebration and make this site your own. We encourage you to post anecdotes, photos, project clips, or well wishes for 3ds Max.
And be sure to keep checking back! We’ll be adding more content to the site on a regular basis.
Thanks for a great 20 years & here’s to the future!
