Discreet 3ds max 5 is an extremely powerful,
rich and versatile 3d modeling and animation program. In this tutorial,
users will learn the fundamentals of 3ds max 5, including: modeling,
animation, lighting, camera work and more. The purpose of this tutorial
is to show users the basic functions of 3ds max 5 and how to apply them
to 3d modeling and animation projects. By mastering the fundamental concepts
and getting comfortable moving around in the program, users will be able
to work more efficiently and with less trial and error, freeing them
up to become more creative. This course will help users gain a solid
foundation for mastering advanced concepts.
This training course is designed for fast learning and covers all the
fundamental points of the application, all cds work on a mac or pc and
no application is needed.
Monitor resolution needs to be set at least 1024 by 768 to view
the entire movie.
