Features: 3dsmax is the most popular three-dimensional modeling and animation software at present, favored by a wide range of users for its powerful functions and intuitive operation. It was the first three-dimensional software to be ported from a graphics workstation to a PC, and after multiple upgrades, it can now run very stably on operating systems such as Windows. The release of 3dsmax6 brought the PC to workstation-level performance in three-dimensional animation production, and it has gradually become the preferred software for many three-dimensional and animation designers. This book clearly states the teaching objectives, key points, and difficulties of the course; provides an adequate number of exercises and hands-on operations for each chapter; includes a comprehensive test for 3dsmax6; and addresses practical problems encountered when using 3dsmax6. This book introduces the methods and techniques of using Autodesk's newly released next-generation three-dimensional animation software—3dsmax6—in a step-by-step manner, from basic to advanced. The book is divided into 15 chapters, covering topics such as basic operations on objects in 3dsmax6, creating basic planar objects, creating three-dimensional parametric geometry, adjusting objects using editors, creating complex geometry through extrusion, editing and applying materials, creating simple three-dimensional animations, adding lights and cameras to the scene, object mapping before rendering, and creating spatial environmental fog effects. The content of this book is detailed, well-structured, and written in fluent language with concise and practical operation steps, making it suitable for users new to 3dsmax6. It can also serve as a teaching material for various computer art schools and related fields, as well as a training textbook for animation design training classes.
