Duration

Autodesk 3DS Max Essential Training

3 days

Overview

Autodesk 3ds Max Design Essential Training is designed to give you a solid understanding of the Autodesk 3ds Max software features and capabilities from the basics components. Autodesk 3ds Max is widely used by architects, interior designer , game developers, design visualization specialists, and visual effects artists. A wide range of modeling and texturing tools make it an ideal platform for 3D modelers and animators.

Class numbers are small meaning that trainees have their sample opportunity to discuss the specific requirements and any problems that they are having in 3Ds Max Design with the trainer. The course is designed for the busy professional. It is short and intensive, combining lecture, demonstration and hands-on practice.
