In just the last few years, the visualization industry has arguably become the fastest-growing 3D industry and may soon overtake all others in total number of users. Just as the use of computer-aided design became the norm for nearly all architectural, engineering, and construction firms in the 1990s, 3D visualizations have become standard practice today. Autodesk(R) 3ds Max(R) is a powerful and versatile 3D software package that requires a thorough understanding in order to use it effectively. 3D Modeling Using Autodesk 3ds Max With Rendering View considers the challenges of learning 3ds Max(R), focuses on the critical aspects of the program needed to produce stunning architectural visualizations, and discusses some of the fastest and most efficient ways to accomplish tasks. Covering a range of topics such as camera rendering and standard light effects, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.
