Welcome to the 3DS MAX course. I am Alexander and I will be your instructor. 3DS MAX represents an extensive program package that is most often used to create 3D models and their realistic presentation, which includes animation. In this course, you will first learn how to create 3D elements and then master the application of materials and other complex techniques. This includes familiarization with the working environment and basic concepts in order to eventually reach a common goal, a realistic representation of a certain scene and the creation of a short animation. Since we still have a lot to do, it would be best to get down to business right away.
