Summary: 3D Studio Max: Building Complex Models focuses on major areas of modeling, enabling users to conquer a significant set of tools before moving onto the next. The in-depth coverage of this key aspect ensures that new and experienced users can successfully conquer all of Max's modeling tools. All internal modelling options and numerous plug-ins thoroughly covered through a variety of tutorials, including four very detailed projects that integrate an array of skills, tools, and techniques. The book details how to use the additional Material Creation and Management tools including the Displacement Mapping Channel, the Digimation Texture Lab and MaxMatter plug-ins. Additionally, the widely-used Right Hemisphere's Deep Paint 3D and Darkling Simulations Simbiont Max are covered in detail. - Back cover.
