The basics should be combined with PS, CAD I and 3DMAX. 3D Studio Max is the most widely used 3D modeling, animation and rendering software in the world, which is widely used in film and television animation, architectural design, advertising, games, scientific research and other fields. 3dMax is very popular in China and is the most commonly used software. 3dMax can be said to be the leader of game development, and has made great contributions to CS, StarCraft, Warcraft, Legend, Allied Death Squad, Tomb Raider and other games. The latest version of the software has also greatly enhanced the functions of the game. Secondly, regarding the Chinese-English version, the official Chinese version of 3DMax came out only in version 7.0, so generally speaking, most of the materials on the Internet and books are in English, and the user base of using the English version is relatively large, so I suggest you learn the English version of 3DMAX software as much as possible. In this way, in the future study, it will be relatively easy to learn the new version, foreign language materials and plug-ins of 3DMax. Of course, there is no objection to learning the Chinese version of the software. For China people, after all, Chinese characters are easier to accept, the software will be faster to use, and there are already many materials in the Chinese version, which I believe will be more and more abundant. Third, how to learn 3DMAX For self-taught beginners, learning such a huge and complex software as 3dMax is a considerable challenge. It is much more difficult than learning other design software such as plane and webpage. Beginners who learn without goals and steps often take detours and find no direction. After studying for a period of time, their confidence was hit hard and they found that they didn't know how to apply it except for making examples. Therefore, before learning 3dMax software, it is best to set goals, make clear what you want to do, and study in a targeted way.
