Updated 8 November 2018: Quixel has released Quixel Bridge 2018.5, adding further live link plugins for 3ds Max, Houdini and Marmoset Toolbag. The update also adds support for channel packing, enabling multiple textures to be packed into the RGBA channels of an image to reduce asset file sizes and memory usage during export.
The update brings fluid simulation tools to load and save presets including the addition of several built-in common fluid types, improvements to the UI, and more.
Autodesk has released 3DS Max 2018.4, the fourth update since the release in April 2017. The update brings fluid simulation tools to load and save presets including the addition of several built-in common fluid types, improvements to the UI, and more.
Improved usability for Max Fluids
3ds Max Fluids has been updated with usability improvements based on your feedback. As the simulation is being run, Max Fluids now displays the frame number, instead of the percentage of completion, as well as other information about the simulation from the output window. Other improvements include the ability to apply UVs to the output mesh, setting an initial simulation state, or removing unwanted time from the simulation.
Fluids Presets
3ds Max 2018.5
3ds Max 2018.4 now includes fluid presets, making it easier to add fluid simulations to a scene. The included presets consider viscosity from a wide range of common fluid types, from thin liquids like water to thicker liquids like chocolate syrup, honey, and ketchup. Users can also create and save custom settings as presets to more quickly re-use desired fluids in other scenes.

Autodesk has released Maya 2018.5 and Maya LT 2018.5, the latest versions of the 3D animation software.
Both seem to be purely bugfix updates: the online release notes contain a short list of fixes, but at the time of posting, the online documentation hasn’t been updated with any actual new features.
An unexpected extra update before Maya 2019?
What this means for the timing of a more substantial update is open to debate.
Under Autodesk’s usual release schedule, Maya 2019 would have shipped this summer, but the last official word from the company’s forum, in a post from mid-October, was just that “the devs are working hard on it”.
