Features: This book provides a detailed explanation of the general methods for using AutoCAD and 3DS MAX together to design architectural renderings. It offers a solution for quickly creating computer-generated architectural renderings, enabling readers to fully learn the principles and processes of drawing computer architectural renderings, achieving twice the result with half the effort. The book follows the design process first by explaining how to use AutoCAD for architectural drawing and modeling. It then covers importing the modeling completed in AutoCAD into 3DS MAX for the decoration design of both interior and exterior landscapes, including lighting setup, creating and adjusting cameras, simulating the texture of real building materials, and applying materials to objects. Finally, the rendering completed in 3DS MAX is imported into Photoshop for post-image processing and adjustments, completing the entire design process of the architectural rendering. The book's unique feature lies in fully leveraging the respective strengths of AutoCAD and 3DS MAX and integrating them into practical product design to achieve complementary advantages. This book is suitable for architectural rendering designers and computer design enthusiasts for learning and reference.
