Mastering 3D Modeling in 3ds Max: Basic Level

In this course, you’re going to learn the essentials of using 3ds Max 2020 and then basic-to-intermediate 3D modeling skills. This course is designed for complete beginners. So no prior experience in 3D is needed to take this course. The curriculum is carefully designed so you can master 3ds Max quickly and seamlessly.

What you will learn

There are a total of 9 chapters in this course. In the first chapter, you will be introduced to the "User interface" of 3ds Max. You will learn different ways to navigate the viewport. And different ways to utilize the display settings. In the second chapter you will learn basic object operations such as how to create objects, and how to modify them once they are created. You will learn how to select objects. How to transform objects. How to use and manipulate the pivot point. More advanced transformation settings. Learn about modifiers and then finally about object duplication. In the third chapter you will learn various ways of managing your 3D scene. From basic object management. Then learning how to use the “Scene explorer”. Learn how to use and manage layers. Learn about the “selection set” and also object grouping.

Then starting at the fourth chapter, we’re going to shift our focus to 3D modeling. In this chapter, you’ll learn the power of “editable poly” modeling techniques. We’ll start with the basic modeling operations. T
