Summary

For courses in 3D Design and Animation, Architectural Design, Mechanical Design, and Graphic Arts. Combining theory with hands-on activities, this lively introduction to the basics of Kinetix's powerful 3D Studio MAX animation program is equally ideal for those who know just the basics about both computers and CAD and those who are experts in CAD but wish to add a new dimension. Progressive in approach, it explores all of the basics of 3D Studio MAX and features several application chapters that take students into the exciting animated worlds of today's films, advertisements, and gaming environments.
