3ds Max - a full-featured professional software system for use with three-dimensional graphics, developed by Autodesk Media & Entertainment. Works in Microsoft Windows operating systems and Windows NT (both 32-bit and 64-bit). In the spring of 2008 launched the eleventh version of this product under the name «3ds Max 2009." Modeling 3ds Max has extensive tools for creating a variety of form and complexity of three-dimensional computer models of real or fantastic facilities around the world using a variety of techniques and mechanisms, including the following: polygonal modeling ; modeling based on non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS); simulation based on the Bezier surface portions; modeling using built-in library of standard parametric objects (primitives), and modifiers. modeling methods can be combined with each other. modeling based on standard objects, usually is the primary method of modeling and serves as a starting point for creating objects with complex structure, which is associated with the use of primitives in conjunction with each other as the elementary parts of composite objects. 3ds Max has a library the following:

01 - Editable Poly Modeling
02 - Using the Unwrap UVW Modifier
03 - Material Improvements
04 - HairChapter
05 - ClothChapter
06 - BipedChapter
07 - Character Animation with BonesChapter

3ds Max 8 Profi-Workshops

So arbeitet ein 3D-Profi

Erleben Sie, wie Michael Kuhn Schritt fur Schritt eine Strand-Szene mit Palmen, Felsen, Gras und Brandung gestaltet. Mittendrin befindet sich eine fotorealistische Schildkrote. Im Rahmen dieses kompletten Projekts vermittelt der 3ds Max-Profi verschiedenste Techniken des 3D-Workflows.
