3Ds Max

Autodesk 3ds Max, formerly known as Three Dimensional Studio and 3D Studio Max, is a professional 3D computer graphics program for making 3D animations, models, games and images. It is developed and produced by Autodesk Media and Entertainment.

It has Modeling capabilities and a flexible plugin architecture and must be used on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is frequently used by video game developers, many TV commercial studios, and architectural visualization studios.

It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization. For its Modeling and animation tools, the latest version of 3ds Max also features shaders (such as ambient occlusion and subsurface scattering), dynamic simulation, particle systems, radiosity, normal map creation and rendering, global illumination,  a customizable user interface, new icons, and its own scripting language.

Course Objectives:

• The course will cover the interior and exterior designing and architectural animation so, that the students can create world class 3D contemporary and classic models creatively with present technology.
• 3ds Max is often used for modeling and animation as well as for rendering photorealistic images of buildings and other objects. When it comes to modeling 3ds Max is unmatched in speed and simplicity.
• The software can handle several stages of the animation pipeline including pre-visualization, layout, cameras, modeling, texturing, Animation, lighting, and rendering.
• As one of the most widely used 3D packages in the world, 3ds Max is an integral part of many professional studios and makes up a significant portion of their production.
