What else is new?
Occlude Selection Improvements: Occlude Selection is now three times faster than before. In addition, its accuracy is also greatly improved, especially when using various marquee-style selections, such as rectangle, circle, and freeform.

Unwrap UVW Keyboard Shortcuts: New user-requested keyboard shortcuts for the Unwrap UVW modifier were added to 3ds Max for 2023. They include shortcuts for Stitch, Pack, Grow, Shrink, and much more. Please see the Keyboard Shortcut Table for a full list of the new Unwrap UVW keyboard shortcuts.
Compressed Scene File Save Performance: For many releases, 3ds Max’s ability to compress scene files while saving has been freeing up storage space for our users. In 3ds Max 2023, compress scene file on save has been optimized to be almost two-times faster than before thanks to a new archiving library, multithreading, and other optimizations.

Active Manipulator: Users can now only display the manipulators for the active level of the modifier stack that the user is on (instead of displaying all possible manipulators). Please see the Gizmos Preferences for more details.
Per-Viewport Filtering – Multi-Select: Users can now work with the same style of multi-select options they use in 3ds Max to interact with the Per-Viewport Filtering dialog. This includes using Shift to multi-select in a sequence, and Ctrl to multi-select one-by-one.
Safe Scene Script Execution (SSSE) for Scene Script Assets: 3ds Max’s SSSE feature has been extended to ensure that execution of unsafe scripted commands found in Script File Assets, such as pre and post render scripts, is blocked by default.
On-Demand Installer for Revit and Inventor imports: 3ds Max now includes a new On-Demand Installer for Revit and Inventor imports, letting you install the Revit Interoperability and Inventor Interoperability components only when you need them, instead of during product installation. For more information, see On-Demand Installer for Revit and Inventor imports.
Python 3.9.7 Update: 3ds Max ships with the visual effects platform-recommended Python 3.9.7. Python 3.9.7 boasts performance improvements, new string functions, and improved quality that will aid Technical Directors and pipeline integration.
Support for Visual Studio 2019: 3ds Max 2023 supports Visual Studio 2019, enabling the software and all third-party plug-in developers to benefit from compiler optimizations and run-time improvements.

In update 2023, a number of improvements have been made to 3ds Max’s Retopology Tools to handle large amounts of data and increase the productivity of artists. With version 1.2 of Retopology Tools, work with larger amounts of data, have less setup and preparation for your meshes and preserve more features of your existing mesh.
Pre-process Retopology for faster results
- Handle larger amounts of data with less setup and preparation by enabling the option to Remesh your model as a pre-processing step before computing Retopology. You can also utilize theReForm Pre-Process model to generate a proxy remesh object that will be utilized as the data set for the Retopology algorithms to work with.
- Pre-processing can now lead to better and faster results without requiring you to go through extra steps to prepare your model (such as Pro-Optimize or performing a Retopology step using InstantMeshes).
- Errors reported by the Retopology modifier from the ReForm, Quadriflow, or InstantMeshes algorithms are now more detailed in regards to what error was encountered, giving you possible solutions to employ to resolve issues.
Retopology Tools v1.2 is supported on Windows, Mac and Linux and available with your installation of 3ds Max 2023.
- To install Retopology Tools v1.2, see Installation Instructions.
- To learn about and work with Retopology Tools v1.2, see Retopology Tools for 3ds Max.

A number of improvements have been made in this update to 3ds Max’s Retopology Tools so that it handles large amounts of data, which increases artist productivity. Version 1.2 of Retopology Tools works with larger amounts of data, preserves more features of your existing mesh, and requires less setup.
Data preservation and output mesh result
- Use the Display Mode pull-down menu to view the input, remesh, and output mesh results of the Retopology action.
- Mesh data that you are processing through ReFrom such as UVs, Normals, and so forth, will be maintained on the output mesh for Retopology.
