'''Gmax''' is an [[software|application]] based on [[Autodesk]]'s  [[Autodesk 3ds Max|3ds Max]] application used by professional computer graphics artists. 3ds Max is a comprehensive modeling, animation and rendering package with some secondary post-production and compositing features. Gmax is much more limited due to its singular intended use&mdash;game content creation. Infrequently used tools and features, or the ones completely unrelated to creating [[3D model|3D game models]], were removed (these include most, if not all of the more complex rendering, materials, shaders, physics simulation, some of the more advanced geometry tools, in addition to the rendering engine), leaving the core modeling, texturing, and basic animation rigging and keyframing capabilities. In 2005, the promotional [[freeware]] software was discontinued after version 1.2.
