I. Introduction to 3DMAX
3DStudioMax, commonly referred to as 3dMax or 3dsMAX, is a 3D modeling, rendering and production software based on PC system developed by Discreet Company (later merged by Autodesk Company).
Its predecessor is 3DStudio series software based on DOS operating system. Before the appearance of WindowsNT, industrial CG production was monopolized by SGI graphics workstation.
The appearance of 3DStudioMax+WindowsNT combination suddenly lowered the threshold of CG production. First, it was used for animation in computer games, and then it began to participate in the production of special effects in film and television, such as X-Men II, the last soldier and so on. After Discreet3Dsmax7, it was officially renamed Autodesk3dsMax. The latest version is 3dsmax2022.
Second, the advantages of 3DMAX
1, high cost performance.
First of all, 3DSMAX has a very good price/performance ratio, and its powerful functions far exceed its own low price, which can be affordable by ordinary production companies, thus greatly reducing the production cost of works, and its requirements for hardware systems are relatively low. Ordinary configuration can meet the needs of learning, which is also the concern of every software user.
2, easy to communicate
Thirdly, it has the largest number of domestic users, convenient communication and many learning tutorials. With the popularity of the Internet, forums about 3D MAX are also quite popular in China.
3. Easy to use
Secondly, novices are more concerned about whether 3DMAX is easy to use. You can rest assured that the production process of 3DMAX is very simple and efficient, which can make you get started quickly, so don't be intimidated by its numerous commands at first, as long as your operation ideas are clear, it is very easy to use, and the operability in subsequent high-end versions is also very simple, and the optimization of operation is more conducive to beginners' learning.
