3ds Max is one of the mainstays of the gaming and architectural visualization industries.  Now you can learn to model, using this exciting tool, faster than you thought possible.  Through our unique, project-based approach (focusing on using the tools rather than the nuances of the U.I.), in 8 short lesions, you will model a moon base a wide assortment of modeling tools and techniques, such as:

• Subdivision Modeling
• Spline Modeling
• Use of Modeling Modifiers
• NURMS Subdivision
• Box Modeling

In addition, you will learn how to install and use the free Greeble plugin for making nurnies (called greebles in Max) and how to create a faux global illumination lighting scheme using the free MaxScript: E-Light. 
Finally, you’ll render your scene out using the advanced mental ray rendering engine that comes standard on Max 6 and above.
