As the most widely used 3D animation software in the world,
3ds Max is capable of creating stunning visual effects for
a broad range of purposes. It can be used to create effects
for everything from video games and feature films to
architectural walkthroughs and mechanical designs.
In 3ds Max 2009 Essential Training, instructor Steve Nelle
provides a thorough introduction to the principles of
3D modeling, while also sharing practical techniques that
experienced users can apply to their own workflows. Steve
establishes the principles and best practices of the
3D production process, introduces the 3ds Max interface,
and explores modeling in depth. He also demonstrates how to
create and transform primitive objects, use specific modeling
techniques, work at the sub-object level, and apply a variety
of modifiers. Example files accompany the course.

Special Note: Further 3ds Max 2009 features, such as materials,
lighting, cameras, animation, and rendering, will be covered in
3ds Max 2009 Beyond the Basics, coming soon.
