WinRAR

WinRAR is a 32-bit/64-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, the powerful archiver and archive manager. WinRARs main features are very strong general and multimedia compression, solid compression, archive protection from damage, processing of ZIP and other non-RAR archives, scanning archives for viruses, programmable self-extracting archives (SFX), authenticity verification, NTFS and Unicode support, strong AES encryption, support of multivolume archives, command line and graphical interface, drag-and-drop facility, wizard interface, theme support, folder tree panel, and multithread support.

Designed to work on Windows 98/NT/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows 7 WinRAR provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack and convert CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, Z, 7-Zip archives.

WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.

Autodesk 3ds Max

Autodesk 3ds Max 2009 software is a full-featured 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and visual effects solution used in the creation of top-selling games and award-winning film and video content. Quickly and efficiently generate convincing characters, seamless CG effects, and jaw-dropping environments.


Precise Visual Feedback and Professional Final Renders

Reveal rendering streamlines and accelerates literative workflows by providing precise control over what is rendered in the viewport or framebuffer. 3ds Max 2009 also provides access to a ProMaterials library for the award-winning mental ray® rendering engine, with materials for creating real-world design and building surfaces.

Streamlined Character and Mapping Workflows

Biped now offers animators a more efficient workflow for rigging quadrupeds, together with other features that facilitate the character animation process. The release also delivers new UV editing features, including a UV spline mapping tool, and enhanced Pelt and Relax toolsets that streamline the UVW unwrap workflow.

Fast and Accurate Data Transfer

Get the information you want, the way you want it. Greater OBJ file format translation fidelity and more import and export options mean more accurate data transfers between 3ds Max and Autodesk Mudbox™ software or other digital modeling packages. 3ds Max 2009 also delivers improved FBX memory management and new import options that support interoperability between 3ds Max and other products such as Autodesk Maya and Autodesk MotionBuilder software applications.

3ds Max 2010 Features:

There are over 350 new and improved additions to the 2010 3ds software. Highlights include:

• A new Graphite modeling and texturing system, which introduces at least 100 new creative tools, to explore and rapidly iterate ideas.

• A new Containers toolset to facilitate collaboration and flexible workflows by enabling the collection of multiple objects into a single container when dealing with complex scenes.

• Render animation sequences in mental ray with indirect illumination calculations (Final Gather), greatly reducing or eliminating traditional flickering issues.

• Updated Review technology to take the guesswork out of final renders with render-like viewport display supporting: ambient occlusion, High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI)-based lighting, soft shadows, hardware anti-aliasing, interactive exposure control, and the revolutionary mental mill® shader technology.

• New Material Explorer simplifies interaction with objects and materials. Navigate all rendering-related assets in the scene, perform operations on multiple objects, or inspect individual materials. The Material Explorer also allows for the replacement of materials-making iterations much easier, even in highly complex scenes.

Autodesk Maya

Award-winning Autodesk Maya software is a powerful, integrated 3D modeling, animation, effects, and rendering solution. Because Maya is based on an open architecture, all your work can be scripted or programmed using a well-documented and comprehensive API (application programming interface), or one of two embedded scripting languages. This, combined with an industry-leading suite of 3D tools, means Maya enables you to realize your creative ideas.


Maya is the software of choice for those in the film, television, game development and design industries. Maya software has been used to create visual effects for a variety of blockbuster movies, such as The Da Vinci Code, Transformers, Beowulf, The Golden Compass, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Ten years since its industry-redefining launch, Maya software continues to address the challenges faced by artists today. Maya 2009 offers a host of new features and enhancements to maximize productivity, optimize workflows and offer new creative possibilities.

Autodesk Maya Features:

• Maya Cloth - lets you quickly direct and control cloth and other material simulations in entirely new ways. Beyond cloth, Maya Cloth lets you create deformable plastic and metal simulations, inflatable objects, as well as rigid-body and fluidic-type effects.

• Maya Particles - quickly simulate a wide range of complex effects, including liquids, clouds, smoke, spray, and dust.

• Maya Fluid Effects - simulate and render a huge variety of atmospheric, pyrotechnic, viscous liquid, and open-ocean effects.

• Maya Fur - easily create realistic fur, short hair, wool, and grass on NURBS, subdivision surfaces, or polygonal models.

• Maya Hair - create, style, and render fully dynamic long hair on NURBS or polygon objects. Make any NURBS curve dynamic for use in advanced character rigging and effects.

• Maya Live - combine 2D and 3D live-action with 3D elements. Maya Live provides greater flexibility, a fast-integrated 2D Tracker, and an interactive Root Frame Solver.
