Check out this 3ds Max video tutorial on a detailed look at creating shapes and lines. Autodesk's 3D Studio Max is a customizable and scalable 3D modeling and rendering solution for games, film, and television, so don't miss out you digital animators.

How To: Move, rotate, and scale objects in 3ds Max 8

Transforms are a fundamental part of 3D graphics. It's important to know this well before moving on to making perfect 3D models with 3ds Max. So, check out this video tutorial to see how to move, rotate, and scale objects in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max, the graphic digital modeling and rendering 3D software program for film, television, and games.

How To: Select objects in 3ds Max 8

In this 3ds Max video tutorial, you'll learn how to select objects or shape in the scene and also the many different ways to do so in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll learn about free form, paint, and more.

How To: Model complex organic forms (ears) in 3ds Max 8

In this 3ds Max video tutorial you'll see how the spline method can be used to model a very complex form, such as the ear, in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll see several tools found in EditPoly for creating overhangs, and also look at attaching the ear seamlessly with an existing head. This process works directly in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop, specifically topology, just so you know.

How To: Create bump maps from color maps in 3ds Max 8

This 3ds Max video tutorial goes over how to create bump maps and how to quickly create one using your existing color map as a starting point in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop. It will also cover how to breakup your bump map with high frequency noise at the shader level for those closeup shots.

How To: Extend organic models with primitives in 3ds Max 8

In this 3ds Max video tutorial, you'll see how to use a sphere to speed up the modeling of the skull and neck areas on your organic 3D human model in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software and Adobe Photoshop.

How To: Create specular maps from bump maps in 3ds Max 8

This 3ds Max video tutorial goes over the concept of specular maps and how to paint one using an existing bump map as reference in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll work in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop, so if you don't have one or the other programs, why even bother building digital 3D characters?

How To: Mirror and subdivide organic models in 3ds Max 8

This 3ds Max video tutorial will show you various ways to mirror your object and the pros and cons of each. Then, it will demonstrate various methods of subdividing your mesh in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software.

How To: Refine organic models with EditPoly in 3ds Max 8

This 3ds Max video tutorial will go over several ways to refine and add detail to your 3D model, like using EditPoly. More specifically, you will be adding polygons for a nose, then refine them until we achieve our desired shape in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital 3D modeling software.
