Features: Models are the foundation of architectural rendering production, and accurate, streamlined architectural models are the fundamental guarantee for the success of rendering production. As the most popular 3D animation production software currently, 3dsMAX5 has become the preferred choice for architectural designers in modeling due to its powerful functions and user-friendly operation. This book is a specialized monograph on architectural modeling with 3dsMAX5. Starting from the learning requirements of fully mastering and flexibly applying 3dsMAX for architectural modeling, it systematically and comprehensively explains various methods of 3dsMAX5 modeling, including basic geometric modeling, 2D modeling, composite geometric modeling, modifier modeling, network modeling, and NURBS modeling. Moreover, after each knowledge point is explained, typical examples and operational steps are provided, allowing for learning through practice, which enhances operability and is particularly suitable for self-study or teaching. The book is rich in content, illustrated with visuals, and its examples are highly representative and instructive, making it a very practical and specialized learning textbook. It can serve as supplementary teaching material for architectural majors in universities and also as a reference book for self-study by architectural design, interior design, and art design professionals. The CD content of this book includes the final renderings of each example model in the book as well as the MAX files of the example models.
