Quick 3D Studio Max Version HIstory:
3D Studio MAX
was officially announced at Siggraph 1995 and shipped to users in April 1996. At the same time, the Autodesk Multimedia Division was rebranded as Kinetix, a division of Autodesk. Thus the full name of the official product was Kinetix 3D Studio MAX. The product contained about the same feature set as 3D Studio DOS R4 but implemented all tools using a completely new object-oriented, procedural modeling paradigm featuring the Modifier Stack, an easier to use linear version of the Prisms/Houdini procedural pipeline. Some elements like the Material Editor and the animation controller system were largely enhanced compared to the DOS version, and the render subsystem allowed for volumetric effects and 3rd party plug-in renderers (which started appearing shortly after the first release - RayStudio and RayMax being the first two available). Release 1.0 required Windows NT 3.51 and supported the first 3D Labs GLiNT hardware accelerator cards available for the PC via custom Heidi drivers.
There were two point updates - 1.1 and 1.2. The SDK shipped with 1.1. 1.2 was an update to support WinNT 4 which featured the Windows95-style UI.

3D Studio MAX R2
(code name Athena) was officially announced as Siggraph 97 in LA,CA on August 4th 1997 and shipped to customers on September 24th, 1997.
It included over thousand new features and workflow improvements. The most notable additions were
Ray-tracing in the Scanline renderer via Raytrace materials and maps developed by Blur Studio's Steven Blackmon and Scott Kirvan (who later split to form Splutterfish and develop another popular renderer - the Brazil r/s).
Lens Effects Post Effects licensed from Digimation
NURBS modeling tools
MAXscript programming language licensed from John Wainwright/Lyric Media
OpenGL support
There was one point release - 2.5. It was the first and only non-free point release in the history of 3D Studio and included among other enhancements NURBS additions (support for Trims) and VRML import support.

3D Studio MAX R3
(code name Shiva) was announced at the Game Developers Conference in April 1999 on San Jose, CA and was released to customers on June 15th 1999. It was the last version to be published under the Kinetix logo, although the division was already merged with Discreet Logic but had no Corporate Identity design yet. The core of the program was largely rewritten to allow better integration of MAXscript and the Scanline Renderer was enhanced with support for pluggable Anti-Alias filters and Supersamplers. The User Interface was redesigned to support larger true-color icons on customizable tabbed toolbars where custom Macroscripts could be placed by the user.

Discreet 3dsmax 4
(code named Magma) was initially announced at Siggraph 2000 in New Orleans in an early technology demo. It featured among many other things
a new IK system,
QuadMenus context menus and a unified ActionItems UI customization system,
ActiveShade render preview mode,
a redesigned Modifier Stack (Stack View) with support for Drag And Drop,
new Editable Poly modeling toolset,
DirectX Shader support in viewports,
ActiveX support in scripted rollouts,
MultiRes mesh optimization based on Intel technology
and more.
There were two point releases to individual customers - 4.1 and 4.2, and a special 4.3 update which was for Educational users (schools, universities) only.

Discreet 3dsmax 5
(code named Luna) was the first release ever to support the plug-in format of the previous version. Plug-ins developed for 3dsmax 4 could be used in 5 without a recompile, while both 2 and 3 required completely new versions. The biggest addition to 3dsmax 5 was the Advanced Lighting sub-system of the Scanline Renderer where two new plug-ins were introduced - a brute-force Global Illumination module called Light Tracer and a Radiosity module based on further research by the developers of Lightscape. (Historical note: Lightscape was acquired by Discreet Logic a couple of years before the Autodesk acquisition.) This also incl. Photometric and Day lights support. Further additions were
the inclusion of Reactor (previously a separate plug-in published by Discreet based on the HAVOK dynamics engine);
Set Key animation mode;
a refactored Track View with Curve Editor and Dope Sheet modes and
an enhanced UVW Unwrap editor
Render To Texture feature
New Named Selection Sets editor
New Transform gizmos
Character Assembly and Bone Tools
Spline IK
Gimbal rotation mode
Auto-Tangent interpolation
Improved Skin Modifier with Weight Table
Improved HSDS modifier UI
Support for Layers (taken from 3ds VIZ)
Ink'n'Paint Material
Translucent shader
On the human resources side, it is interesting to note that the product was developed under Chris Ford, previously senior Maya product manager who moved to Discreet when Alias dropped Wavefront. (He is now PRman business director at Pixar). Other related 3D Trivia: Bob Bennett, previously product manager for 3d Studio DOS, was Maya Development Manager for many years until the Alias acquisition by Autodesk - he is now with Luxology.
There were three point updates - 5.1, 5.1SP1 and 5.5 (the latter was the extended version with the Particle Flow extensions).

Discreet 3dsmax 6
once again required recompiled plug-ins (which later would be usable in 7 and 8). The main new features were
mental ray as alternative renderer
Particle Flow (previously shipped as an Extension to 5 for users on subscription),
a refactored Schematic View
Shell modifier
new Vertex Paint
Reactor 2 dynamics
network support for Render To Texture

Discreet 3dsmax 7
(code named Catalyst) was an evolutionary update on top of the 3dsmax 6 core. Main new features were:
new Editable Poly tools incl. Bridge, Deform and Relax painting, Soft Selections Painting, Preserve UVs option etc.
new Edit Poly modifier which was supposed to ship as Extension to 6 but made it into 7.
Support for Normal mapping generation and rendering
mental ray 3.3, incl. Sub-Surface Scattering and Ambient Occlusion shaders and Render To Texture support
Per-Pixel camera mapping
Flat shaded view
Character Studio 4.3 included in the base package
SkinMorph and SkinWrap modifiers
TurboSmooth modifier
Parameter Collector
Refactored Reaction controller (formerly known as Reactor controller)
Walk-Thru mode for First Person navigation in the viewports.

Autodesk 3ds Max 8
(code named Vesper) was published in the Fall of 2005 and was the first release in the history of the product not to break the SDK compatibility in a 3rd major update - in other words, plug-ins from 6 and 7 could be used in 8 without the need for a recompile. The Discreet division of Autodesk was moved closer to the Mother Ship and turned into "Autodesk Media and Entertainment Division", AMED or Autodesk ME for short, leading to a full circle in the history of the 3D Studio line which started as Autodesk 3D Studio in 1990. The "M" in "Max" was capitalized again.
Main new features were:
Asset Tracking with support for 3rd party solutions and Autodesk Vault shipping with the package.
Enhanced XRefs
MAXscript Debugger
Support for Scene States
Hair and Fur (shipped as Extension to 7 earlier that year, based on Joe Alter's Shave & Haircut)
Cloth (also available as Extension to 7, based on Size8's ClothFX, formerly known as Stitch)
Editable Poly enhancements - Shift Ring and Loop, better Bridge and Edge Connect, Open Chamfers option, clean removal of edges.
Enhanced Skin tools incl. Grow and Shrink, Loop and Ring, Weight Tool
Enhanced Unwrap UVW with Pelt Mapping support, better Relax options and Render Template tool
Sweep modifier and enhanced spline options incl. rectangular cross-sections
Brush Presets
Real-world map scale
Motion Mixer support for non-biped objects

Autodesk 3ds Max 9
(code named Makalu) was the first release to include both 32 bit and 64 bit builds of the software. It shipped to customers in October 2006 and required once again recompiled plug-ins due to the switch to a newer Visual Studio compiler and because the MaxSDK6 was getting old and was in need for an update to fix long-standing bugs.
A 64 bit version of 3ds Max was demoed as early as the year 2000 when Intel was attempting to introduce the Itanium line of CPUs. A "real" 64 bit build of 3ds Max 8 for the x64 architecture developed under a project name "Scopic" was shown to the audience of the Autodesk User Group meeting at Siggraph 2005 and was later merged with the Makalu project to deliver both 32 and 64 bit on the same DVD for 3ds Max 9.
Major new features:
Project Path support incl. support for relative paths
Proxy Textures Manager
.NET support in MAXscript incl. classes, objects and UI controls.
ProBoolean and ProCutter (shipped as Extension to 8, based on PowerBooleans 3rd party plug-in), enhanced in this version with MAXscript exposure of ProCutter.
HAVOK 3 engine support in addition to the existing 2
better mental ray 3.5 integration with support for Physical sky and sun, Arch.&Design shaders and more.
Faster screen redraws in Direct3D mode incl. incremental D3D Mesh cache updates, faster spline redraws and more
Viewport Stats option for all viewports.
