3DS MAX

  • This section provides an introduction to techniques for creating and modeling objects
  • Dimensions based modeling

  • Creates Automatic Design Relations
  • Provides an array of architectural objects, useful as building blocks for models of homes

  • Create basic and complex geometries
  • Easily creates geometry like box, sphere, teapot, torus, chamfer box, cylinder, gengon etc

  • Ready made AEC (Architecture Engineering Construction)
  • Ready options to create Foliage, Railing, Walls.

2D Modeling

  • Generate planar and thin 3D surfaces
  • A straightforward usage for shapes is as 2D cutouts or planar objects

  • Define loft components such as paths, shapes, and fit curves
  • You can apply modifiers to a shape to create a 3D object

  • Generate extrusions and surfaces of revolution
  • Creates a 3D object by rotating a shape about an axis

  • Define motion paths
  • You can use a Path constraint to use a shape to control object motion

3D Modeling

  • Improves visualization
  • Create both hard and smooth finished surfaces

  • Working with sub-object level
  • Modes like vertex, edge, polygon etc. are given for better control

  • Freeform modeling
  • Can create both parametrical and non-parametrical geometry

  • Create section from 3D
  • Create 2D shapes from 3D geometry

  • Sculpting tool is available to deform geometry

Basic Material (Standard)

  • Materials create greater realism in a scene
  • Materials describe how an object reflects or transmits light. Within a material, map can simulate textures, applied designs, reflections, refractions, and other effects

Advance Material (Mental Ray)

  • Easy to use, yet flexible
  • Templates are available

  • Physically accurate
  • Glossy performance

  • Tweakable BRDF (bidirectional reflectance distribution function)
  • Transparency

  • Round Corner
  • Built-in Ambient Occlusion

  • Waxed Floors, Frosted glass, and brushed metals - All fast and easy set up

Basic Light (Standard)

  • Different types of light sources are available
  • Include/Exclude options for object illumination are available

  • Different types of shadow are available
  • Atmospheric effect such as fog, volume fog are supported

  • Supports ray-tracing

Advance Light (Mental Ray)

  • Support Arch & Design materials
  • Supports different kinds of distribution of lights
  • Soft and transparent shadows
  • Accurate lighting calculation
  • Different light shapes for different light sources
  • Support for mental ray
  • Mostly used in interior scenes
  • With a Camera viewport you can adjust the camera as if you were looking through its lens
  • Camera viewports can be useful for editing geometry as well as setting up a scene for rendering
  • Multiple cameras can give different views of the same scene
  • The Camera Correction modifier lets you correct a camera view to 2-point perspective, in which vertical lines remain vertical
  • Cameras can be animated
  • Two different types of cameras are available
  • Different types of lenses shaders are available, which helps to create a photo real rendering image
  • Five different type of renderer are available
  • Supports hardware rendering (Quick silver hardware renderer)
  • Creates physically accurate renderings by tracing light paths. (iray renderer)
  • Versatile series of scanlines are generated from top to bottom ( Default scanline renderer)
  • Physically correct simulations of lighting effects, including ray-traced reflections and refractions, caustics, and global illumination are generated (Mental ray renderer)
  • Supports for other third party rendering software
  • Rigid Bodies & Constraints
  • Skeletons
  • Visualizing the Simulation
  • Baking Simulation Results
  • Exporting Rigid Bodies, Constraints, and Skeletons
  • Non-Event-Driven Particle Systems
  • Event-Driven Particle Systems
  • Cloth Simulation and Animation Baking
  • An image editing software developed and manufactured by Adobe Systems Inc. Photoshop is considered one of the leaders in photo editing software. The software allows users to manipulate, crop, resize, and correct color on digital photos. The software is particularly popular amongst professional photographers and graphic designers
  • Adobe After Effects delivers a comprehensive set of tools to efficiently produce motion graphics and visual effects for film, video, multimedia, and the Web. You can explore unlimited creative possibilities with precise control while working in a 2D or 3D compositing environment
