3ds Max Complete Overview: Learn 3d Graphics Fast and Easy
What you'll learn
- Create your own 3d projects from scratch within a few hours
- Gain a strong understanding of 3d concepts and 3ds Max tools in just 7 hrs
- Be comfortable finding your way around the 3ds Max UI
- Create multiple 3d projects from beginning to end
- Create their own models, materials and renderings in 3ds Max
- Use built in poly modelling tools to create photo real 3d models
- Create basic 3d models for video games
- Animate objects and cameras in 3ds Max
- Understand the concepts of 3d graphics and know how to apply them using 3ds Max
Requirements
- You will need to be very familiar with computers and comfortable learning and navigating in a complex software program. You will also need a computer capable of running said program (MOST will work, but some might be slower than others). I will show you how/where to get the software and you will need to be able to install it and check your computers specs to make sure they're fit for the job. It will also be helpful to you if you have access to photo editing software (i.e. Photoshop or similar). We will not use this extensively in the course, but we do use it some, and if you want to get serious about 3d graphics you will eventually need this. Knowing how to use photo editing software already will also be helpful, but is not entirely necessary. I demonstrate what to do, and I can also offer you additional resources to help you learn it. Other than that, feel free to come as a complete beginner to 3d graphics and 3ds Max.
- You don't need any prior experience in 3d to succeed in this course!
