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2013。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。

PLURALSIGHT CREATING GAME-READY MODULAR STRUCTURES IN 3DS MAX
Breaking down a modular structure into a game ready asset can be tricky if you want to maintain the ability to reuse the mesh frequently. Reusing a mesh is often not discussed in detail, but it is very technically challenging the first time. In this course, Creating Game-ready Modular Structures in 3ds Max, you’ll look at how to get the best reuse from your model and make as many different shapes as possible to fit in the game. First, you’ll learn how to look at the tools for optimizing a low-poly model. Next, you’ll learn how to create a mesh that is easily repurposed. Then, you’ll learn how to quickly and easily unwrap a complex asset. Finally, you’ll learn how to turn your original structure into a new and unique design. By the end of this course, you’ll know how to get a great modular structure into your next game. Software required: ZBrush, Unreal Engine 4, 3ds Max, xNormal.
