This training course is designed for users with less than 6 months production experience in 3ds Max and teaches students the 3ds Max tools essential for creating architectural renderings and animations. In this training course, the instructor covers every major component of the 3D design visualization process, from modeling to production, with special emphasis on those tools that will provide users the greatest efficiency in producing visualizations. This class avoids advanced topics such as inverse kinematics, reactor, space warps, etc, to allow more time to be devoted to those areas of the program which serve as the foundation of most visualization projects. Students will learn countless tips and tricks that maximize productivity and efficiency that normally takes many years in a production environment to learn. 3ds Max is a large and complex application – but by learning just the features that apply to visualizations, you’ll be learning everything you need to know to get ahead in the industry in the shortest possible time. This course requires no previous knowledge in any 2D or 3D software. Covers 3ds Max 2011 with most support files provided in Max 2009 or earlier.

This training course is designed for users with at least 6 months production experience in 3ds Max and is designed to show students how to put their knowledge to practical application by creating the individual components that make up the typical architectural visualization. Specifically, students will learn numerous methods for creating structural elements of a building, such as walls, windows, doors, etc, as well as the numerous different site object types that can be found in most visualizations, such as curbs, roads, and sidewalks, etc. Following material and lighting techniques, students learn how to create high quality animations while maintaining speed and efficiency during the rendering process. Next, the instructor presents methods of implementing all of the important effects that can really make visualizations stand out above the competition. Finally, students are given invaluable insight into the world of marketing a 3D visualization company as well as time tested production tips…all of which are sure to increase efficiency, reduce work load, and speed up renderings. This training course requires a fundamental level of knowledge of 3ds Max. Covers 3ds Max 2011 with most support files provided in Max 2009 or earlier. |

A frustrating reality of working in any 3D program is waiting on the computer to process information. Most of the time 3ds Max is waiting on us for input but for numerous different situations we are forced to wait on 3ds Max and our computers, depending largely on how we manage our scenes. Someday when computers are powerful enough, you may never have to worry about how complex your scenes become, but for the foreseeable future, you should employ practices and procedures that keep your wait times and render times to a minimum. So what are the attributes of a scene that affect the amount of time you have to wait on your computer and what can you do to minimize your wait? This video explores what goes on behind the scenes with 3ds Max and our computers. It examines how algorithms work to process our commands and provides time-tested production tips and techniques to help maximize speed and efficiency. After watching, you will understand how to make your system work faster and how to avoid difficulties in working with large scenes. |

This presentation discusses how to improve system resource management as it relates to the following four areas:File size
RAM
Open/Save Times
Bitmaps/Materials
Video Refresh Rates
After you complete this webinar, you will know the answers to these questions and
countless other questions related to system resource management, such as the following:
What is a BSP tree, how does it work and why is it important to proper resource management?
What has a greater impact on file size and render time; the total vertex count or total polygon count? Why?
Why do scenes with the same polygon count often have widely ranging render times, load times, and file sizes?
When should you create copies, instances, XRefs and proxies?
What’s the difference between static memory and dynamic memory?
Do modifiers increase file size and/or memory consumption? Why or why not?
When should you collapse objects or leave the modifier stack unchanged?
When should you attach objects together or leave as separate objects?
In terms of system resource management, what is the difference between an Edit Mesh and Edit Poly?
How much RAM and processing power do you really need?
What exactly is raytracing and how does it affect RAM consumption and render times?
How can you minimize system crashes even with large scenes on non-powerful workstations?
What size bitmaps should be used on materials? What file types should be used and why?
What happens to the operands of a compound object when the final object is created?
