Autodesk® 3ds Max 2009 is a mature, robust, full-featured 3D modeling and animation application used by the world's top 3D professional artists and designers. In this course students are first introduced to the 3ds Max User Interface and how to customize it for better understanding and workflow. Students will then learn about the basic 2D tools and how to make simple models in Max, before getting into more in-depth understanding of the 3D modeling tools. The instructor moves on to introduce Lighting, Cameras and Rendering followed by the Materials Editor and Animation tools. Later in the course, the author discusses Particle Systems, Effects and Simulation within 3ds Max and even includes a chapter that introduces "Character Rigging". Work files are included.

Hi! And welcome to VTC's Training Series on Autodesk 3D Studio Max 2009. My name is Sandib Kukani and I'll be your guide into this exciting world of 3D Studio Max 2009. I'll be referring to 3D Studio Max as either 3ds Max or just Max. So, just note that it's the same software we're talking about here. For those people who are new to 3D you'll be glad to know that 3ds Max is one of the main 3D applications when it comes to gaming, architectural visualization, forensic and medical animation, and also film and television-related effects and animation. If some of you have seen my QuickStart!! Series with Max 2009 you probably have an idea of what 3ds Max is capable of. In this series, we'll be talking about the user interface, scene management, customization of the user interface, different tools in Max, modeling, texturing, lighting, animation, rendering, atmospheric effects, particle systems and so on. So, sit back and enjoy as we dive into the world of 3D.
