Features:

With 3ds Max 2009, Autodesk introduces Reveal rendering, a system that streamlines iterative workflows by giving the artist very precise control over what is rendered
Another key rendering toolset is the new ProMaterials library for mental ray, which gives artists fast access to professional-quality, building-material shaders such as glossy and matte paints, solid glass, concrete, and more.
3ds Max includes the full rendering capability of the highly acclaimed mental ray but also the flexibility to integrate with many other high-quality rendering solutions such as v-ray, finalRender, and Brazil.
Global Illumination solvers and the ability to integrate real-world lighting parameters directly from Lighting Manufacturers gives the designer the ability to create images of stunning realism
Network Rendering: Included with 3ds Max, backburner is a 5th generation rendering management solution complete with unlimited Windows rendering nodes and fail-safe management of 3ds max and combustion
Using Review, multiple maps can now be simultaneously displayed in the Viewport, for more accurate previewing. Additionally, IES files and photometric light data are now supported in the Viewport – giving instant feedback on how virtual lights will affect the environment.
