3D STUDIO MAX 9 VIDEO TUTORIALS


NEW 3DS MAX SWORDSMASTER (LOWPOLYINTERMEDIATE)

The swordsmaster tutorial is a pdf with instructions on how to make a low polygon game character. very interesting tutorial but you should have some basic poly modelling knowledge.. its all box modelling so its easy to learn but you have to think twice at some steps in the tutorial. enjoy!

NEW New Riders Press 3ds Max Animation with Biped

3D STUDIO MAX BIBLE

TEXTURE LIBRARY
VRAY ADVANCED 1.50 R3

It is a rendering engine that uses advanced techniques, for example global illumination algorithms such as path tracing, photon mapping, irradiance maps and directly computed global illumination. The use of these techniques often makes it preferable to conventional renderers which are provided as standard with 3d software, and generally renders using these technique can appear more photo-realistic to the human eye, as actual lighting effects are more realistically emulated. The use of this engine is been known to increase the necessary computational power and rendering times due to the complicated nature and volume of calculations required.

V-Ray is used in the development of film productions and multi-million dollar game productions.

VIDEO TUTORIALS


NEW THE INTERFACE
this is the first thing to see as beginner . this is 1 hour and 16 minutes explaining the 3ds max interface and very basics of working with it

NEW BASIC MODELLING
this tutorial covers the basics of modelling !. in this one, a watch is made!

CREATING OBJECTS
Basics on creating and naming of different kinds of objects

ANIMATION BASICS
This is the very basic intro to animations. no modelling experience needed.

WORKING WITH OBJECTS
Working, naming, hiding and arranging objects in the viewports.

WORKING WITH SHAPES
Working with Shapes ( very important for non box modelling )

APPLYING MODIFIERS
Modifiers, introduction to what they are and why they are so handy !

INTRO TO LIGHTS
lightning, number 2 most important thing in the 3D world.

EDITABLE SPLINES
Splines, Lines that can be converted to other objects ( like wires etc )


NEW WORKING WITH EDITABLE SPLINES . PART1
NEW WORKING WITH EDITABLE SPLINES . PART2

SUBDIVISION SURFACES
REACTOR BASICS
Reactor is the coolest thing of 3ds max. with reactor you can simulate real physics.. like fallings things that can bounce on each other .. a car that can roll of a mountain .wheel physics and so on



RENDERING BASICS
rendering in max is the most important thing..
get the result on screen. this shows how to render images.. change quality
and how to render and save animations in different formats


EDITING VERTICES
vertices are the most important thing in 3d modelling..
everything concists of these vertices.. its the dots that connect the edges
this tutorial will go in advanced vertex editing and show how to make a model starting from 1 vertex or how to cut , slice and do other things with vertices.. very neat tutorial
