About 3Ds Max

• Autodesk 3ds Max, is a professional 3D computer graphics program for making 3D animations, models, games and images.

About 3Ds Max

• It is an Autodesk product, like AutoCAD.• With 3ds Max, you can create 3D places and

characters, objects and subjects of any type.

• Arrange items in settings and environments to build the scenes for your movie or game.

• Animate the characters, set them in motion, make them speak, sing and dance…

Work Phases

1) Modeling : • Modeling in 3D is similar

to sculpting.

• Many different techniques can be used to create the objects you require.

Modeling : • There are different types of predefined objects to start

with:

Standard Primitives Extended Primitives Users Designed Models

Modeling : • The Modeling Tools set, also called the modeling

ribbon, gives you everything you need for editing your objects.

Modeling Examples:

2) Materials & Texture: • Materials are like paint, with it you make apples red

and oranges orange. You put the shine in chrome and the polish on glass.

Materials & Texture: • By applying maps, you can

add images, patterns, and even surface texture to objects.

• Materials are what make your scenes look real.

Materials & Texture: • Texture is the image that will be applied to the material. • It Includes: Diffusion, Color, Opacity, Bump, Reflection,…

etc.

Materials Editor:• The master design

studio for materials and maps

• control the characteristics of the selected material from reflection, color, refraction, hue…etc.

3) Lighting:• Improve the illumination

of a scene

• Enhance a scene's realism

• Cast shadows

Lighting:• Sunlight uses a directional light• Daylight combines Sunlight and Skylight

Lighting:• Lighting also include the

spotlight

• Spotlight casts a focused beam of light like a flashlight, in which you can control the shape & intensity.

4) Rendering:• It is the most technically complex

and awesome aspect of 3D production.

• It is the term where you finalize the 2D image to 3D by combining all previous information.

Rendering Process: • Rendering sometimes takes a long time, even on

very fast computers.

Rendering Process: • The software is

"photographing" each pixel of the image

• Tracing rays of light on the 3D scene.

5) Post Production Adjustment:It’s simply fine tuning after rendering is done, it’s done using “Photoshop” .

1) Architecture & Interior Design

• 3D Max had a major impact on this industry, since designs used to be so stiff and boring.

• Nowadays, there is more creativity in designs since we are able to visualize the structure and form.

Architecture• This is how designs used to be

Architecture• And this is nowadays designs

Interior Design• As for interior design, 3D MAX gave designers the

freedom to manipulate and control the environment

• We are able to achieve exactly what the client has in mind.

2) Animation & Movies• Animation is about storytelling by bringing things,

characters, and objects to life.• Animation basically depends on sketches.

Animation• When 3D Max was introduced, the animation

production jumped big time.

• This is what we used to watch:

Movies• Movies nowadays rely heavily on 3D max• Most block buster movies such as Avatar,

Avengers, Iron Man, ….etc. are basically 3D Max products.

MoviesMotion Capture Technology:is the process of recording the movement of objects or people.

Motion Capture The Amazing Suit

Movies• CGI is Computer

generated Images.

• The application of computer graphics to create images, animation, movies..

MoviesGreen ScreenThe technique of filming an actor against a green monochrome background, and replacing it with another material.

Movies Examples300 Transformers

3) GamesToday’s gamers demand increasingly sophisticated animation and effects. 3D Max provides a variety of video game design to help you create innovative experiences that meet gamers’ expectations.
