What does Make Unique accomplish?

• A. Locks the stack to the object.
• B. Deletes the current modifier.
• C. Makes an instanced object unique, or an instanced modifier unique to a selected object.
• D. Shows the end result.

Answer: (C)

Make Unique is about breaking shared data so edits can be made independently. In 3DS Max, many copies can be instanced, meaning they share the same geometry and parameter values. Make Unique converts the chosen instanced object, or an instanced modifier on that object, into a standalone version that no longer shares data with the other instances. After using it, you can modify this object or its modifier stack without affecting the others. That’s why the correct description is that it makes an instanced object unique, or an instanced modifier unique to the selected object.
