Set up units in 3ds Max by using customize, unit setup, and display and system unit setup to switch from generic units to metric centimeters for accurate real-life references.
Master the 3ds Max command panel to create boxes, spheres, extended primitives, doors, and windows, modify their dimensions in the modify panel, and navigate objects with the scene explorer.
Enable auto grid to place objects on surfaces of other objects, like boxes or cylinders. Turn auto grid off after modeling to position objects on any surface.
Explore the modify panel in 3ds Max to adjust segments for smooth renders, then apply twist, bend, and FFD 4x4 modifiers via control points to reshape objects.
Master creating clones in 3ds Max by using copy and instance, learn when to convert to unique copies with Make Unique, and understand how instanced objects respond to changes.
Create and format text in 3ds Max, apply fonts, adjust size and tracking, extrude to add width, bevel the edges, and use the mirror tool to clone and position objects.
Create a glass model in 3ds Max using spline modeling and modifiers, adjusting axis, segments, fillet, and vertex smoothing for a polished, realistic shape.
Enable the Layer Explorer, create and organize layers, and drag objects into layers to manage visibility and properties. Freeze layers to prevent selection or rendering and quickly control the scene.
Utilize the light explorer to view all lights, adjust color and intensity per light, and apply changes to all lights at once for fastest and smartest lighting control.
Learn how to apply space wrap to primitives, customize amplitude and decay, simulate an explosion with a bomb, adjust spin and fragment size, control explosion timing, and add shell thickness.
Use the selection filter to selectively choose geometry, lights, or splines. Isolate bones or helpers during character animation to avoid selecting geometry.
Create and reuse selection sets in 3ds Max by selecting objects, naming the set, and pressing enter, then adjust lights with the selection tool.
