Gnomonology: Introduction To 3D Studio Max

Gnomonology: Introduction To 3D Studio Max
3d Studio MAX is an industry leading application in design visualization, game development and visual effects.
3ds Max is powerful and flexible enough for professionals, but intuitive enough for the beginner.
Whether new to 3ds Max or new to 3D, the more than five and a half hours of lecture provide ample discussion of the tools needed to create visually rich imagery and animations. User interface foundations are presented, focusing on 3ds Max's ease and simplicity. Learn core concepts as well as efficient, professional modeling, animation, texturing, and lighting techniques.

Chapter One: Getting Started
User Interface Overview, Object Creation, Parametric Primitives, Viewport Navigation, Command Panel, Modifiers, The Stack,
Coordinate Systems, Gizmos, Modifier Instancing/Sharing, Keyframe Animation, Path Animation, Object Properties, Show and Hide.

Chapter Two: Modeling Fundamentals
Compound Objects, Booleans, Autogrid, Shapes, Text, Lathe, Scatter, Modeling with Primitives, Grouping, Grid and Units,
Real World Units, Object Pivots, Object Instancing, Mirroring, Selection Centers, Array Tool, NURBS, Polygons, Splines,
and Subdivision Surfaces.

Chapter Three: Modeling Techniques
Sub-Objects, Preview Selection, Soft Selection, Edit Poly, Extrude, Topological Dependencies, Radial Symmetry, 3D Snaps,
Relative vs. Absolute Snap, Angle Snap, Weld, Bevel, Working Pivot, Quickslice, Cut, Slice Tool, Chamfer, Normals,
Subdivision Surface Modeling, FFD (Free Form Deformer), Spacing Tool, Import/Merge, Linking.

Chapter Four: Texturing
