3DS Max for beginners : 3D modeling fundamentals

[ UPDATE: If you are using 3ds Max version 2020 or above there is a new version of this course called "Mastering 3D Modeling in 3ds Max: Basic Level". Here is the link to the course https://skl.sh/2ZKJfiK ]

Master the art of 3D modeling using 3DS MAX in just a few hours. Take your first step to enter the 3D computer graphic world with this carefully designed course.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for complete beginners so no prior experience is needed.

The skills you learn from this course will become the foundations of our next course where we learn more advance topics.

What you will learn?

 First we'll cover the fundamental stuff in 3DS MAX such as the UI, transformation, object creation and manipulation. Then we move on to different 3D modeling techniques from primitive object, polygon based modeling, spline based modeling until we learn how to use subdivision or NURMS for modeling. We'll cover a lot of exercise projects designed to develop your skill step-by-step.

After completing this course you are recommended to take the next step course “Interior rendering with 3ds Max and Corona” where we deepen our knowledge further on lighting, material and rendering using Corona rendering engine.
