Subtitles of the Movie

Let's start talking about some system requirements and installation for 3ds Max 2009. 3ds Max comes in two different versions, a 32-bit version of the software and also a 64-bit version. The software is compatible to run on Windows Vista for both the 32-bit as well as the 64-bit version, and as far as Windows XP Professional is concerned, you will need Service Pack 2 or higher for the 32-bit version, and Windows XP Professional 64-bit for the 64-bit version of the software. To get more information it's always a good idea to log on to autodesk.com. So, I'm on that page right now. Let's go under Products, Autodesk 3ds Max, that will take you to this page. Click on Features and Specifications. Let's click on System Requirements. Over here you'll find the system requirements for the software, the hardware, and also some qualified hardware lists. Make sure you read through this minimum software and hardware requirements as playing close attention to these will really have an impact on your speed within the software. As far as installation, the installation DVD is really easy to use, and has a step-by-step instruction on how to install the software. If you're downloading the free 30-day trial version it's a simple set-up file that you can run after you've successfully downloaded it from the Autodesk website. Also, 3ds Max comes with a design version of the software as well called 3ds Max Design, which is more suitable for architectural visualization and also integrates really nice with AutoCAD and Rivet from Autodesk. The software we are using is simply 3ds Max 2009.
