Oh I forgot to mention that in and of itself having program knowledge is really not essential but in this Blog we are going to get into programming at some point but don't be alarmed it is not that hard and I will walk you through it every step of the way.
This weekly series aims to keep you on top of the latest tools and techniques, and introduces fresh. I would say that research is the number one skill set anyone can have when working with this program, learning will be a life long process for anyone who is interested in Games and Programming. 3ds Max is a powerful, deep, and multifaceted program, so theres always more to learn. There are great resources available in 3ds Max itself under help in the top right corner of the program so if you can wait like most please do some reading on your own.
I know you all would like to jump right in and start using and creating things right away so please feel free to go ahead and start exploring the User Interface on your own. In my next Blog we are going to explore the User Interface of 3ds Max. Warning you are about to enter a world were you will get so involved in this program you will lose track of time as you create your own 3D Worlds and Objects there is really no turning back. For now lets focus on it's Modeling and Animation tools that will take us a long, long time to cover all of the great features and tool available to us to use along with our imaginations. In my Tutorials we will be mainly using 3ds Max for Video Game Development but there are numerous uses for 3ds Max that we may get into in my lifetime to come in my Blogs.
Now then this is still going to be a learning curve for me so as I learn you will learn from my knowledge that I have gained while using this New Version of 3ds Max 2017 and I have looked for books on it to assist me but there are none that I have found as of yet and there are very few Tutorials out on this release so this blog is going to be I hope a blessing for you if you are just starting out and have never used 3ds Max as I will start my first blogs in the assumption that you have never used this program and have little or no programming skills whatsoever.ģds Max is one of the best professional 3D Graphics Program that I have ever seen it is incredibleįor creating 3D Animations, 3D Models that will blow you away, Games and Simulations as well as great Images but the main feature that I love is it's Modeling Capabilities and its great Plugin capabilities. I have stated above this is my first time using 3ds Max 2017 although I have used 3ds max 2011 in School to create all of my 3D Models and Animations and Importing them to Unity Game Engine to use them in my Games and Simulations. You are about to enter a world were you are not limited by the imagination of someone else but only bound by your own and that my dear friends is an endless journey or creativity.
You can download a Student copy of this program for free Here follow the instructions for the download and wait and wait for it to install, it will take some time but well worth the wait. The Blog is for everyone interested in learning 3Ds Max I will be using 3ds Max 2017 for the first time in these tutorials so your version may be different then mine but they are relatively the same but with some extra added tools and enhanced features.
