WSQ CG Production with 3ds Max Central

Course details

This course introduces the fundamentals of 3ds Max, a 3D program used widely in the animation and gaming industry for 3D modelling, 3D animation and digital visual effects. You will learn to navigate through the user interface, the basic techniques of modeling and applying textures, set basic lightings and render the model you have created, and perform simple animation.

TOPICS COVERED: 

• User Interface

Entry-level navigation for students to understand the UI of 3ds Max

Students will learn how to use viewport navigation, modeling, rigging and animation tools

• Modelling

Modelling

Students will learn the basic modeling tools and progressively move to advance modeling tools

• UV Unwrap and Textures

Students will learn basic unwrap and create textures for their models

Students will understand the workflow of a typical 3D asset creation and texture process

Rigging and Skinning

Students will understand the tools involved in the process of rigging models

The concepts covered will be applicable to 3D animation

• Animation

Students will learn to animate using the rigs created for their 3D model

Students will learn to refine their animation by setting up keys and using basic animation tools like graph editors and motion control

• Lighting and Rendering

Students will learn to create the finishing look of their 3D animation by using basic lighting tools

Students will understand the different rendering methods to create the final look
