Features: This book takes a practical approach, using the iconic Apple G5 computer as a case study to explore the techniques of product modeling and demonstration in industrial design. The book is divided into four chapters: Rhino Modeling, 3ds Max Rendering, 3ds Max Animation Demonstration, and Web3D Network Demonstration Creation. The Rhino modeling section includes the G5 computer case, monitor, mouse, iPod, Insight, printer, and other accessories. All objects modeled in Rhino are then imported into 3ds Max for rendering and material assignment. Next, combining the basic principles of animation production, the G5 system model is recreated in 3ds Max as the fundamental element for animation, showcasing classic product demonstration techniques that combine transparency and lighting effects. Finally, the book explains how to use Web3D software to virtually demonstrate industrial products online, with a focus on interactive effect creation techniques. The accompanying CD-ROM includes source files, material files, and final effect files for all the book's examples, as well as video teaching files for the examples, designed to facilitate reader learning. This book is suitable as a required textbook for industrial design programs and related disciplines in universities and colleges, as well as a reference book for 3D enthusiasts.
