Book Description

3ds max is used to create high-quality film effects in major Hollywood features such as The Matrix Reloaded, X-Men, and The Ring. It is equally popular among game developers, who use it to create stunning visuals in the top games.

This book and DVD package, part of Autodesk Media and Entertainment's Official Training Courseware, focuses on the new features in 3ds max and how they fit into the overall workflow. These are major topics of interest for intermediate to advanced users upgrading to version X of the software. This package quickly gets them up to speed and back to work.

The book and training DVD are seamlessly integrated. On the DVD, an instructor leads the animated tutorials and visually demonstrates each technique in real time. The book clearly demonstrates each step and is a handy reference.

* Autodesk Official Training Courseware-co-published with Autodesk (formerly Discreet)
* Includes robust training DVD with animated instructor-led tutorials--a great value
* Covers key new features, including enhanced character animation, asset management, and development tools for large teams
* Get up and running quickly with this book/ DVD combo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Upgrade Book, March 28, 2006
This review is from: 3ds Max 8 New Features and Production Workflow: Autodesk Media and Entertainment Courseware (Paperback)
This is a great book that focuses on some under-appreciated but powerful features within 3ds max 8 aimed at speeding up and streamlining production.

The text is mainly for intermediate or even some advanced users that are great at modeling, animation, etc but want to take their production line skills to the next level. It focuses on higher level elements such as advanced controllers, proper use of x-refs, retargeting animation, cloth and hair, and advanced rendering.

As someone who has worked in the industry these are part of a great skill set but are items that general 3d artists surprisingly know little about.
