Autodesk 3ds Max 2027.1 adds Smart Bevel and cloud rendering

This update gives 3ds Max users new modeling, data, and rendering tools in one release, with Smart Bevel, Data Channel operators, and Arnold integration all changing in 2027.1. For production teams, the addition of cloud render technologies signals that Autodesk is continuing to fold more render workflow options into the core toolset. The concrete item to watch is how Autodesk documents the cloud render technologies and whether they appear in the 3ds Max 2027.1 release notes as separate workflow steps or integrations.
