Welcome to our the Autodesk 3ds Max Quick Start Guide! We'll take you through the basics of the software so you can start creating your own 3D designs. We'll cover everything from navigating the interface and working with scenes, to creating primitives and using polygon modifiers.

You'll also learn how to add materials, work with UVs, and incorporate animation into your scenes. We'll explore lighting and rendering techniques, and even show you how to integrate 3ds Max into your production pipeline. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation in 3ds Max and be ready to take on more complex projects. So let's get started!

After completing this course, you'll be able to:

Navigate the 3ds Max interface to efficiently move around the workspace and locate tools and menus.
Create 3D objects from scratch using primitive shapes and modify them by manipulating their sub-objects.
