Welcome to the World of 3ds Max
Welcome, and congratulations! You’ve just bought a ticket to the world of Autodesk® 3ds Max® 9. Hang on and get ready for the ride of a lifetime! With 3ds Max, you can create 3D places and characters, objects and subjects of any type. You can arrange them in settings and environments to build the scenes for your movie or game or visualization. You can animate the characters, set them in motion, make them speak, sing and dance, or kick and fight. Then, shoot movies of the whole virtual thing.
You can use 3ds Max to visualize designs of real things that will actually be built, such as buildings and machines. The File Link feature of 3ds Max lets you base visualizations on designs created in AutoCAD or Autodesk Architectural Desktop: when the design changes in these other applications, the revisions can be automatically updated in your 3ds Max scene. Add lighting and materials, then render to still image or movie formats.
These tutorials teach 3ds Max through a series of hands-on exercises. Prepare to be entertained and fascinated by the awesome power at your fingertips.
此书是Autodesk的官方教程
从基础讲起，介绍了建模、渲染、动画、灯光、材质、贴图等等的教程，第一个文件是电子书的CHM格式，第二个文件是电子书的pdf格式，两个文件内容一样！只是chm格式的电子书需要在线才能观看。第三个是书中所举例子的素材，包括MAX文件，贴图文件和已经完成的动画等等，希望能给正在学习MAX9的朋友一点帮助！
