Introduction
In this tip video for 3ds max 2013, we’ll continue exploring new features, and this time we’ll talk about State sets.
State sets
State sets is the new Render Pass management system in 3ds max. It can be used in a lot of ways but the simplest is to create different sets of configuration for our scene where we can “record” a state of the project, to render it later, every single state can be a render pass, and it can be managed and manipulated as we like. It includes the Slate Compositor, a simple tool able to pre-comp render passes and export it in PSD file format or directly in After Effects via a direct live link that give us an amazing series of tools for look development and motion graphics tasks.
