3D Studio Max，常简称为3ds Max或MAX，是Autodesk公司开发的基于PC系统的三维动画渲染和制作软件。其前身是基于DOS操作系统的3D Studio系列软件，最新版本是2012。在Windows NT出现以前，工业级的CG制作被SGI图形工作站所垄断。3D Studio Max + Windows NT组合的出现一下子降低了CG制作的门槛，首选开始运用在电脑游戏中的动画制作，后更进一步开始参与影视片的特效制作，例如X战警II，最后的武士等。

Digital-Tutors Creative Development: Creating a Photorealistic Ink Drop Effect in FumeFX and Krakatoa with Eduard Schulze Battmann

In this tutorial we will learn how to create particle effects from the beginning to final render. Throughout this tutorial we are going to talk about FumeFX and PFlow from the basics to more advanced techniques. We'll also cover some rendering techniques in Krakatoa, including the Magma Flow Editor, we'll see how to increment our particle count using the partitioning, and finally we'll look how to composite the particles in NUKE. After completing this tutorial, we'll have a much better understanding of fluids and how to manage and render particles.
