3ds Max is best known for its modeling and rendering tools. These strengths come into play in architecture, manufacturing, game development, industrial design, and motion graphics. There are dozens of features and techniques to master, from modeling and texturing to lighting and rendering. In this course, instructor Aaron F. Ross provides an overview of the entire package, as well as essential skills that 3D artists need to create professional models and animations. Aaron shows you how to get around the 3ds Max interface and customize it to suit your preferences. He describes how to model different objects using splines, polygons, and subdivision surfaces. Aaron explains how to construct hierarchies, add cameras and lights, and animate with keyframes. In closing, he takes an in-depth look at materials and texture mapping, as well as options for rendering engines such as Arnold and Quicksilver.

Autodesk 3ds Max is a popular and powerful tool used by game developers, visual effects artists, and graphic designers for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. In this short introductory course, Aaron Ross covers the basics of the 3ds Max interface and core concepts. Aaron shows you how to get around in the program and start modeling, shading, lighting, animating, and rendering. He goes over the interface, creating and transforming objects, applying physically based materials, projecting UVW map coordinates, and more. Whether you're new to 3D or simply new to 3ds Max, this course provides a firm foundation in a short amount of time.
