Autodesk 3ds Max Essentials - FULLY UPDATED FOR LATEST VERSION + ALL NEW BONUS SECTION ON MAXSCRIPT Introduction - Understanding Autodesk 3ds Max Chapter 1 - Getting Started The Getting Started chapter contains a functional overview of the essential tools and principles of 3ds Max. Lesson 1: The User Interface Lesson 2: lab (title tbd) Lesson 3: Files and Objects Lesson 4: Transform Tools Lesson 5: Modifiers **REFERENCE SECTION ADDED Chapter 2 - Modeling The Modeling chapter covers low polygon modeling techniques, with a thorough explanation of what lies at the sub-object level. Other techniques include spline modeling. Perform spline modeling by taking 2D elements and turning them into 3D volumes, with the help of modifiers and compound objects. Also included is a lab that illustrates several polygon modeling techniques to build an underwater scene. Lesson 6: Low-Poly Modeling Lesson 7: Shapes Lesson 8: Using Compound Objects Lesson 9: Modeling Lab **REFERENCE SECTION ADDED Chapter 3 - Animation The Modeling chapter covers some basic animation techniques and terminology, as well as hierarchies and relationships between objects. One lesson is dedicated to the use of Biped, a character animation tool. The Biped tool automates the creation of a skeleton that goes inside the body of the character you want to animate. In the animation lab at the end of the chapter, you'll animate various pieces of a chess board.
