Features: Based on years of design experience, the authors introduce the relevant knowledge of Autodesk's 3DS MAX 4.0 and Adobe's Photoshop 7.0 in landscape 3D rendering design and production from design examples. They combine practical cases to introduce the convenient methods and techniques of these two software in this field, from simple to complex. The text integrates the characteristics of different landscape atmosphere, drawing requirements, and software operation, making the book highly practical. The book is divided into six chapters. The first chapter introduces the basic functions and methods of 3DS MAX 4.0 commonly used in landscape architectural design and modeling. The second chapter introduces the 3D modeling of some landscape elements. The remaining four chapters detail the modeling, material assignment, camera setup, lighting, rendering, and other procedural steps in common landscape planning scenarios, as well as methods and techniques for adding accessories and organizing scenes after the graphics are imported into Photoshop. Each major example in the book can be broken down into smaller examples, allowing readers to master computer design and drawing methods and techniques in a relatively short time. All the example files and materials used in the book are included on the accompanying CD-ROM, which can be used for reference or comparison during operation. The book is also valuable for users of other versions of 3DS MAX and Photoshop. The book is rich in content, features typical examples, and provides detailed steps.
