- [Instructor] Hi, I'm Aaron F. Ross. Welcome to this introduction to 3ds Max 2019. 3ds Max is Autodesk's killer app for design visualization. But it also excels in media and entertainment applications. It's widely used in game design, animation, visual effects, and motion graphics. In this beginner course, we'll start with the basics of the interface. How to manipulate objects and navigate in 3d space. We'll employ numerous techniques such as splines, polygons, subdivision surfaces, and free form sculpting. To set the scene, we'll explore basic techniques of camera and layout. We'll see how to illuminate our world with photometric lights and natural daylight. No 3d rendering is complete without materials and textures. So we'll bring color to our world using the Slate material editor. From there we'll progress to building hierarchies, simple key frame animation, and finish up by rendering an animation sequence to disc. 3ds Max is a powerful, all-purpose application for digital content creation. Let's begin learning the essentials of 3ds Max 2019.
