3D Studio MAX, often referred to as 3DS MAX or Max, is a PC-based 3D animation rendering and production software developed by Autodesk. Its predecessor was the DOS-based 3D Studio software. The latest version is 2011. Prior to the appearance of Windows NT, industrial CG production was monopolized by SGI graphics workstations. The emergence of the 3D Studio MAX + Windows NT combination suddenly lowers the CG production threshold. The first choice is to use animation production in computer games, and then to participate in the special effect production of film and TV films, such as xzhanpolice II, the last warrior.
It is widely used in advertising, film and television, industrial design, architectural design, multimedia production, games, auxiliary teaching, engineering visualization, and other fields. 3DS MAX with powerful functions is widely used in TV and entertainment industries, such as titles animation and video game production. The role image rooted in the player's mind is a masterpiece of 3ds max. It also has some application in film and television special effects. In the relatively mature architectural and architectural animation production in China, the use rate of 3DS MAX occupies an absolute advantage. According to the application characteristics of different industries, the mastery of 3DS MAX also has different requirements. The application of architecture is relatively more limited, it only requires the rendering effect and Environment Effect of a single frame, and only involves relatively simple animations. Titles and video game applications account for a large proportion of animations, in particular, video games require a higher level of role animation, while applications in film and television special effects bring the function of 3DS MAX to the extreme.
