Teaching the tools and techniques needed to create professional-quality projects, this text is intended to bring 3ds max beginners from an introductory knowledge base to a level of real proficiency with the most commonly used tools in 3ds max 5. Using an animated commercial project, users are taught everything needed to create the commercial from beginning to end. Starting with the fundamentals of modelling an environment, they learn the tools and insider tips on efficient modelling techniques. From there they progress through the lighting, rendering and final output of the commercial.
