3D Studio Max，常简称为3ds Max或MAX，是Autodesk公司开发的基于PC系统的三维动画渲染和制作软件。其前身是基于DOS操作系统的3D Studio系列软件。在Windows NT出现以前，工业级的CG制作被SGI图形工作站所垄断。3D Studio Max + Windows NT组合的出现一下子降低了CG制作的门槛，首选开始运用在电脑游戏中的动画制作，后更进一步开始参与影视片的特效制作，例如：《X战警II》，《最后的武士》等。
Master the art of 3D modeling using 3DS MAX in just a few hours. Take your first step to enter the 3D computer graphic world with this carefully designed course.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for complete beginners so no prior experience is needed.
The skills you learn from this course will become the foundations of our next course where we learn more advance topics.
What you will learn?
First we’ll cover the fundamental stuff in 3DS MAX such as the UI, transformation, object creation and manipulation. Then we move on to different 3D modeling techniques from primitive object, polygon based modeling, spline based modeling until we learn how to use subdivision or NURMS for modeling. We’ll cover a lot of exercise projects designed to develop your skill step-by-step.
After completing this course you are recommended to take the next step course “Interior rendering with 3ds Max and Corona” where we deepen our knowledge further on lighting, material and rendering using Corona rendering engine.
