3D Studio Max for Windows is the world's best-selling, professional 3D modeling, animation and rendering software for creating visual effects, character animation and next generation game development. Join Adam Beare as he takes you from the basics, such as introducing the interface, viewports, the main tool bar, pop menus and controls, to more complicated material such as modeling using geometry, space warps, lights and cameras, and utilities rollout. You can start learning right now by clicking one of the movie topics below.
