Description:

This introductory course to 3D Studio Max 2 contains 14 chapters, each of which consists of a day's work and builds upon preceding chapters. (A few of the more advanced tasks are covered over two days.) You start off with a tour of the interface and go on to learn the basics of modeling, transforms and modifiers, spline-based modeling and lofting, and Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) modeling and Patches. You also learn how to create materials and maps, work with lighting and atmosphere, manipulate cameras, create animation, add special effects, render your projects, use the Video Post module, and composite your work. Each chapter ends with a summary and questions and answers so you can review what you've learned. Besides good illustrations, helpful usage hints, and explanations of features, you get plenty of step-by-step instruction. You work along with the projects in the book by using the files on the included CD-ROM, which also offers sample models, animations, and still and animated textures. --Kathleen Caster
