The addition of the PFlowAdvanced technology to 3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Max Design 2009 not only greatly enhances the functionality of Particle Flow, but it also gives you a high-performance, streamlined workflow to access its features.

Polygon Modelling Optimisation
Reduce the number of faces on your model, quickly and intelligently. The Creativity Extension for 3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Max Design 2009 incorporates the new ProOptimiser technology, which is ideal for optimizing high-poly count 3D models from digital sculpting applications, such as Autodesk® Mudbox™ software.

Integrated Audio
Enhance your presentations with the addition of audio and sound effects. The incorporation of ProSound into the Creativity Extension for 3ds Max 2009 and 3ds Max Design 2009 means the software now supports integrated, multitrack audio to enhance your film, game, and visualization projects through the addition of high-quality audio and sound effects. This allows you to assign sounds to specific objects, and add a music track or voice-over for your presentations.
