Features: To provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of computer-generated effect graphics, we have selected a representative effect graphic for each chapter in this book and conducted detailed explanations of its creation techniques. Following the methods and operational steps described in the book, readers can independently complete a complete effect graphic. Due to space limitations, this book cannot cover every technique used in each effect graphic, but we plan to elaborate on the more outstanding and representative effect graphics in the subsequent series "Advanced Techniques of Computer Design" to meet the needs of readers seeking to improve their production skills. 3DS MAX 4 is currently the most outstanding 3D design software for PCs. Due to its powerful design capabilities, it has been widely used in effect graphic production. In today's field of architectural and interior design, almost all computer-generated architectural and interior effect graphics are created using 3DS MAX 4, making it highly favored by architectural and interior designers and becoming the preferred software for effect graphic production professionals. This book is a highly practical computer book on architectural and interior effect graphic production. Compared to other similar books, the greatest feature of this book is its broad scope, not only covering the techniques of interior design effect graphics but also providing detailed discussions on the production of architectural exterior effect graphics and community planning effect graphics. Moreover, this book includes 181 selected indoor and outdoor computer effect graphics as color pages for reference, allowing readers to imitate and refer to the works in the book when practicing effect graphic production. As a computer book that emphasizes practicality, this book is divided into three parts: interior, exterior, and community planning, with each part featuring one example for analysis and explanation. Since this book primarily focuses on explaining the key techniques of effect graphic production, it will not cover some very simple operations. The wireframes of the examples in this book are included in the accompanying CD-ROM. Additionally, this book includes some useful textures and background material images for effect graphic production to facilitate readers' self-study and creativity. This book is suitable for readers with a certain foundation in effect graphic production and also provides considerable reference value for those who wish to enter the field of effect graphic design and production.
