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… About 3Ds Max

About 3Ds Max 3Ds Max main objective is to convert any design to a 3D volume.
Work Phases
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:
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:

Animation Timeline
Movies Movies nowadays rely heavily on 3D max Most block buster movies such as Avatar, Avengers, Iron Man, ….etc. are basically 3D Max products.
Movies Motion Capture Technology: is the process of recording the movement of objects or people. Motion Capture The Amazing Suit
Movies CGI is Computer generated Images . T he application of computer graphics to create images, animation, movies..
Movies Green Screen The technique of filming an actor against a green monochrome background, and replacing it with another material.
Movies Examples 300 Transformers
3) Games Today’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.
