Autodesk 3ds Max, formerly 3D Studio MAX, is a modeling, animation and rendering package. It has both an built in scripting language (MAXScript) and an SDK.

The default .max file format is a proprietary binary format, however it also supports the standard .FBX format for more interoperability.

The SDK now has a new managed .NET plug-in loader, making it easier to develop plug-ins in C# or other .NET languages. With more than 200 sample plug-in projects, 3ds Max's comprehensive SDK offers both deep and broad access to satisfy even the most demanding production scenarios.
