Features: This set of teaching materials is entirely a large-scale practical tutorial. The CD provides more than 10 basic video lessons of Rhino software, serving as a quick introduction to mastering its use. The accompanying book offers 6 large-scale comprehensive production examples, all starting from scratch and progressing step-by-step to achieve the final effect. Each step is clear and precise, with principles and methods embedded throughout. Each large-scale example begins with Rhino for modeling. Regardless of how complex the surface model is, Rhino can handle it effortlessly. Cutting models is as easy as slicing watermelon, with significantly higher modeling efficiency than using MAX alone. The completed models are perfectly refined after being imported into 3ds Max. The author provides all the secrets and experience in this regard, eliminating all model conversion issues. The models are imported into 3ds Max using NURBS rather than the cumbersome polygon method. In 3ds Max, detailed learning is provided on the creation and adjustment of various materials such as metal, hard plastic, glass, and frosted glass, including complex texture creation and label-making on model surfaces. Advanced lighting techniques are also thoroughly covered, including simulated sunlight illumination for indoor scenes and realistic LightTracer lighting calculations. Finally, advanced global illumination rendering techniques are learned to create realistic product renderings. Using the global illumination rendering technology provided by 3ds Max 5, completely lifelike rendering effects can be achieved, making it the preferred solution for final rendering in industrial design. The CD offers operational video lessons for Rhino basics, complementing and supplementing the book's example tutorials. The content of the CD lessons is arranged in a training course format, allowing for free selection of learning pace. The CD also includes all the scene resource files for the book's examples and some effect demonstrations, with substantial content, making it highly suitable for 3D production personnel to learn and improve their professional modeling and material rendering skills.
