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,最新版本是2013。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。
Digital-Tutors Creating a Game-Ready Monster Insect in ZBrush and 3ds Max
In this tutorial we will learn the process of creating a detailed killer-monster insect and taking it to a point where its a game-ready mesh, ready to be rigged.
We will go through the entire process from scratch, starting with blocking out the mesh from concept images. Then we will sculpt a detailed high-poly mesh in ZBrush. After the high poly is finalized we will retopologize in TopoGun to get clean efficient geometry, UV unwrap, and bake the high poly information to textures.
Lastly, we will view and take screenshots of the character using the 3-point viewport shader in 3ds Max and touch up the final renders in Photoshop.
