New 3DS Max 2012 Tutorial Video Course Offers a Comprehensive Beginners' Guide ...

New York,NY (PRWEB) July 22, 2011

Training company, Infinite Skills Inc, has just released a new tutorial video course for Autodesk 3DS Max 2012 that aims to help beginners learn how to design, model and animate in 3D using the popular platform. The 3DS Max tutorial features 130 separate lessons that move through topics such as modeling primitives, textures and materials, rigging, skinning, lighting, motion, and particle effects while focusing on a central project work flow.

“3DS Max is a complex program with high-end features for creating video games and full-on animation,” said Colin Boyd, sales director for Infinite Skills. “Yet in these Max tutorials, everything is broken down into basic steps that even beginners can follow and still see fantastic results.”

The 3DS Max Tutorial Video - Training is presented by author Brian Mennenoh, a 3D industry professional with over 14 years of design and teaching experience. Brian applies his unique training style developed as a college instructor to provide beginner-friendly examples that are engaging and applicable to projects encountered in a commercial environment.

The central project within the 15.25-hour training video series is an imaginative animation of two children’s toys—a pixie and a robot—coming to life. Viewers first learn how to create each figure using primitive object tools and then gradually refining and adding detail until each is complete. This section allows the viewer to master metallic objects as well as humanoid character modeling elements such as facial features, hands and hair. Once the models are complete, the tutorials then move through 3DS Max’s environment and scene creation tools, showing how to put together an animated battle scene in which the characters use crayons as weapons. Usable working files are included with each chapter to allow hands-on learning.

“The best way to learn a creative platform like 3DS Max is to actually get hands-on,” said Chris Johns, content specialist at Infinite Skills. “In these videos, users get to go step by step through an entire creative scene, learning a whole set of skills in an organic workflow, rather than just plodding along through a guided overview of the application.” The 3DS Max 2012 Tutorial Video series with work files can be ordered on DVD-ROM or as a full length download from the Infinite Skills training site. The tutorials can be viewed on Windows or Mac, and the course currently retails for $99.95 USD. Shipping is available worldwide.

50 Useful 3DS Max Modeling Tutorials - DesignModo

3DS Max Is widely used in spine and patch modeling, character animations, inverse kinematics, rendering, lighting, mesh and many more. Proper texture mapping and appropriate materials should be used to render a realistic effect. 3DS Max is a very powerful material editor that gives your creativity the required edge. With the help of this software package, you can give your reel characters a real touch. Nowadays, many 3DS Max tutorials are available. You can take help of these tutorials to create your 3D rich designs and visualization effects.

Sometimes, the imaginary world is much better than the physical world. The most important part of the 3DS Max is modeling . Only a perfect modeling can derive satisfactory outputs. Tutorials can help you to learn more about the 3D film effects, complex design virtualizations, rich and realistic game characters. The 3DS Max is mainly used by the visual effects artists, design visualization specialists and the game developers. It has a tools-package that assists you to easily create a variety of shapes like cylinder, sphere or box and even helps in sketching the character outline.

Once you master these 3DS Max modeling techniques , it is quite easy to create simple to complex characters or animations. Animation can sound challenging to learn but once you start using the tutorials, you’ll get a quick and good grasp on it. Using this software and its advanced designing tools, you can create very realistic images and computer generated models. The materials used are very important for creating realistic models . For example, while modeling an animal or a person, proper scale is required from multiple angles and this can only be achieved with the help of 3DS Max.

Once you are through with the tutorials, you would be able to develop a model. By altering the shapes and adding some additional features, provide some realism to the selected models. After the realistic model is developed, it needs to be textured to get a good effect. There are more than hundreds of textures available in the 3D models from skins to metals to fabrics. And finally we get down to the lighting effect; this too is very important for the models and should be placed in a natural position to witness the proper effects. Multiple lights could also be used to enhance and stimulate the objects surrounding the model.
