For basic courses in the Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science departments, including classes in 3D Design and Concepts, Animation, Computer Graphics, Technical Illustration, Mechanical Design and Drafting, and Architectural Design and Drafting. 3D Studio MAXaA A in Motion is a text that covers the basics of 3D Studio MAX, combining theoretical information with "hands-on" practical applications that instruct students on the reasons behind the actions that they are performing. The text is organized in a progressive fashion: each chapter begins with a section of theory and ends with a lab that complements and extends that theory. Students will easily learn to produce realistic renderings of still images and animations. |
