Ah 3ds Max. It's better known as a tool for Game developers and CG artists, but 3ds Max is beloved by Aerospace Engineers, Architects and Product Designers as well. It's a bit of surprise, but there are lots of engineers using it and uploading their work on GrabCAD. So this time around, 3ds Max users get their day in their ray-traced, high-polygon-count Sun.
