3ds Max Training for Beginners

Learn to create and modify standard and extended primitive shapes in 3ds Max, using interactive methods and keyboard entries to define dimensions.

Learn to create extended spline shapes in 3ds Max, including rectangle, donut, angle, white flange, channel, and T shapes, then modify length, width, thickness, and corner radii.

Place a reference image in the front viewport by creating a plane with matching aspect ratio, then apply a bitmap via the material editor and lock the image.

Draw a spline, smooth with Bezier Corner, convert to 3d geometry using the lat modifier to create rails and other objects, then apply length and shell modifiers for thickness.

Learn to use trim-extend, extrude, and shell modifiers in 3ds Max as a beginner, converting shapes into a solid object and controlling thickness and inside/outside options.

Learn to use the attach and detach tool in 3ds Max to combine and separate objects, convert to editable, manage selections by element or object, and adjust position.

Apply the connect tool in 3ds Max to create edge connections, duplicate components, and bridge polygon borders, building a wooden box structure with legs and top elements.

Explore the bevel and insert tools in 3ds Max to create and refine geometry. Learn two techniques: edge connections via connect and insert by polygon to shape and increase height.

Freeze the floor plan in 3ds Max, enable 2.5D and vertex snapping, then draw a rectangle and convert it to an editable poly. Extrude to the height to create columns.

Create walls with the AC extended wall tool, set world dimensions and snapping, justify left or center, select all walls from the front viewport, and apply light walls and dark columns.

Learn to create stairs in 3ds Max using the snap tool and extrude, then adjust overall height, layout length, and rail options in the modify section.

Create doors in 3ds Max by configuring height, width, and depth, using snapping options, and adjusting hinge, double doors, and frame parameters.

Learn to create and modify doors in 3ds Max, adjust height and width, convert to double doors, control hinge direction, apply snapping, and duplicate or delete doors to fit walls.

Explore Arnold, the physically based renderer in 3ds Max, and contrast it with scanline rendering. Learn to set up Arnold, tweak lighting and sampling for efficient, realistic results.

Learn to create an environment by using a light in 3ds Max, adjusting exposure with global exposure and a physical camera, and applying a skydome environment map.

Explore Arnold material parameters in 3ds Max, switching between standard and physical metals, applying bitmap textures, and tweaking reflection, roughness, and color to refine shading and rendering.

learn to model an office desk in 3ds Max by building the tabletop, legs, back supports, partitions, and doors using box primitives, editable poly, sweep modifier, extrusions, snapping, and grouping.
