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 for 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 they can enter a creative state upon completing the course.
Now, through mediums like 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 in-person training to truly benefit from and achieve success in their learning. The book's distinctive feature lies in the carefully designed "Art Class" at the end of each chapter in the comprehensive examples section. It provides guidance and assistance to users without a background in art or formal art education, showcasing a unique educational approach from the perspective of art creation and basic 2D painting. Each "Art Class" is supplemented with video recordings to reinforce the learning of art concepts and reduce the difficulty of the 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.
