Features: This book is designed and organized from a practical application perspective. Instead of focusing on a single software, it selects corresponding software and plugins based on real-world experience to achieve the desired results. The goal is to maximize both effectiveness and efficiency. Since the author specializes in architectural animation production, they have accumulated extensive practical experience, which is reflected in the book's examples. For the application of new technologies, this book fully adopts the latest 3ds Max 6 version, covering the new mental ray renderer, Architectural materials, Character Studio 4 for character animation, Reactor 2 dynamics, and more. Additionally, the examples involve many relevant plugins and software, including AutoCAD modeling, Poser character models, RPC holographic model libraries, DeepPaint 3D for 3D hand-painted seamless textures, Forest for crowd creation, Illusion for particle system waterfalls, Photoshop for high-precision ground texture rendering, SpeedTree and TreeStorm for creating trees and shrubs, Vray renderer for car rendering, MatchMover for tracking 3D building models in real-shot dynamic scenes, After Effects and Combustion for post-production compositing and effects, and Premiere for editing, voiceover, synthesis, and subtitle addition. To facilitate reader learning, the accompanying CD-ROM provides multimedia teaching videos, including several hours of course content on challenging topics such as architectural model creation, architectural material production, and Character Studio 4 character animation. This comprehensive textbook is planned by Wang Qi Computer Studio, with a focus on practical work applications. The knowledge points are novel, comprehensive, and highly practical, making it an excellent resource for 3D enthusiasts, architectural design professionals, and professionals in architectural rendering and animation.
