- [Aaron] 3ds Max is the killer app for design
visualization from Autodesk,
but it also excels in media and entertainment.
Hi, I'm Aaron F. Ross.
And to help you get started in Max I've authored
a video course, 3ds Max 2023 Essential Training.
In this beginner course we'll start with the basics
of the interface, how to manipulate objects,
and navigate in 3D space.
For a strong overview of the modeling tools available,
we'll employ numerous techniques such as splines,
polygons, and subdivision surfaces.
To set the scene we'll explore core techniques
of camera and layout.
We'll see how to illuminate our world
with photometric lights and natural daylight.
No 3D rendering is complete without materials and textures.
We'll bring color to our world using
the Slate Material Editor.
From there we'll progress to building hierarchies,
simple key frame animation, and finish up by rendering
an animation sequence to disc.
3ds Max is a powerful all purpose application
for digital content creation.
Let's begin learning the essentials of 3ds Max 2023.
