Features: The Beginner Animator Learning Manual is part of the "Blazing 3D" Animator Training Series curriculum. It is a companion to the Intermediate Animator Learning Manual and the Advanced Animator Learning Manual. The examples in the book are written by frontline production staff, leveraging their strengths. This textbook is essentially a compilation of teaching materials from the beginner animator training process. In the Beginner Animator Learning Manual, the entire production process and practical techniques for modeling, materials, scenes, lighting, dynamics, character animation, and expression animation are thoroughly revealed. The goal is very clear: to enable trainees to quickly master 3ds Max 8, gain a comprehensive understanding of the functions and usage of each module in 3ds Max 8, and ensure that they can enter a creative state upon completion of the course.
Now, through mediums such as books and video recordings, the teaching methods of the training department are authentically reproduced, allowing users who wish to develop in the field of 3D animation but cannot attend actual training sessions to truly learn and achieve results. The distinctive feature of this book lies in the carefully designed "Art Classroom" at the end of each chapter in the comprehensive examples section. It provides guidance and support for users without a background in art or formal art education, showcasing a unique educational approach from the perspective of art creation and 2D painting fundamentals. Each "Art Classroom" is supplemented with video recordings to reinforce the learning of art knowledge and reduce the difficulty of the learning process.
The accompanying CD-ROM includes some of the scene model files, texture files, and video demonstration files required for the examples in the book.
