DESCRIPTION |
Autodesk 3ds Max Design visualization software provides architects, designers, civil engineers, and visualization specialists with 3D modeling, rendering, animation, and compositing tools to help create cinematic-quality visuals and movies. 3ds Max Design integrates NVIDIA ira rendering technology to help users get more predictable, photorealistic results without worrying about rendering settings, and features lighting simulation tools validated by the National Research Council Canada. Smooth interoperability with AutodeskRevitsoftware, Autodesk Inventor software, Adobe Photoshop and After Effects, as well as many CAD products, enables architects and designers to more rapidly aggregate their CAD data into emotionally engaging visualizations in order to validate and sell their designs.
OBJECTIVES: |
In this course, students learn how to use 3D Studio max to model, apply material, add lights and cameras, render still images and animate architectural or interior scenes. Scenes could be imported from AutoCAD as 3D or as 2D and fully modeled in Max.
