Autodesk 3ds Max 2010 – E-BOOK

Modeling in 3D is similar to sculpting. Many different techniques can be used to create the
objects in your scene. The techniques you learn in these tutorials can be adapted to any style
of modeling you need to perform. For instance, if you’re building models that will be
incorporated into a game, you’ll be most interested in low polygon modeling techniques. The
same techniques will be equally beneficial when building highly detailed models for
architectural presentations or motion pictures.
The tutorials in this section are geared for the beginning-to intermediate-level users. Each
tutorial takes from 30 minutes to several hours to complete.
Beyond modeling techniques, the tutorials also expose you to the Material Editor and show
you how to apply materials to objects in your scene. That familiarity will help when you dive
into the materials and mapping tutorials on page 1056.
