3D Studio Max

3D Studio Max is a program for creating 3D images, particularly used in the field of interior design. With many functions, such as reactors that can simulate gravity and wind, it allows the creation of realistic animations. With its wide range of tools, 3DS Max is the software reference in its field.

You can quickly create characters, animations, video content of excellent quality and stunning special effects, which are up to the industry standards. The software is developed by Autodesk. Mental Ray rendering, Shave and Haircut and Character Studio are other accessories that will make your creation a masterpiece.
The software sets the standard in the field of animation and 3D graphics. It is designed on a modular architecture and supports plug-ins and scripts written in a proprietary language (MAX Script).

At the end of this training, participants will be able to use 3D Studio Max, to make models and animations from basic objects
