Features: The preface serves as an outstanding representative of 3D graphics, 3dsmax has always been one of the most popular and feature-rich drawing suite software both domestically and internationally. The image processing functions in 3dsmax have been continuously improved, greatly enhancing its practicality. This has allowed 3dsmax to maintain a large and stable user base over the years, gradually occupying an irreplaceable position in various fields despite the emergence of numerous other 3D drawing software. This book is designed for beginners and intermediate-to-advanced users of 3dsmax, integrating practical examples into the systematic introduction. This approach avoids the pitfalls of lengthy explanations of tool usage, which can be overwhelming for readers, as well as the drawbacks of focusing solely on examples, which may cause readers to lose a holistic understanding of the software and its overall graphics and image processing capabilities, hindering systematic mastery of various tools. True creativity cannot rely solely on imitating examples; it requires readers to fully grasp fundamental concepts and operations before unleashing their imagination. Therefore, books that primarily focus on examples may merely, leaving readers knowing how but not why, and drowning them in tedious and unengaging drawing operations. This book strives to avoid such issues, enabling readers to systematically master basic operations and achieve a higher level through these exercises. The book contains 50 classic examples, systematically introducing techniques for creating with 3dsmax7, with tips and tricks woven throughout. The book is divided into six chapters:
Chapter 1: 3dsmax Exploration. Through simple and typical examples, this chapter provides a block-by-block introduction to the main functions of 3dsmax7, covering basic modeling, editing modifiers, materials and lighting, and animation settings, giving readers a preliminary understanding of the process and methods for creating with 3dsmax7.
Chapter 2: Modeling Techniques. This chapter systematically introduces the various basic modeling tools, modifier editors, and methods for further editing and refining models in 3dsmax7.
Chapter 3: Materials and Textures. This chapter provides a detailed introduction to various types of materials and textures, including standard materials, multi-materials, composite materials, and ray-traced materials, along with demonstrations of common material effects using multiple material techniques.
Chapter 4: Particle Systems and Environment Settings. This chapter introduces the use of various particle systems, space warps, and multiple environmental effects, such as lighting, volume fog, fire, and glow filters, to achieve special effects in 3D production.
Chapter 5: Animation Creation and Processing. This chapter introduces various animation techniques through multiple examples, with a focus on the use of motion controllers and track view.
Chapter 6: Comprehensive Applications. This chapter introduces comprehensive application techniques of 3dsmax7 through integrated examples.
