3D Studio Max

Lesson 1: The 3DS Interface:

Welcome to the first of 12 online tutorial sessions for Autodesk's 3D Studio Max, or 3DS for short. These 12 sessions are designed to get you up and running in 3DS as quickly as possible.

Each session comprises of a short (about 5 minutes) video tutorial.

This first session is designed to acquaint you with the 3DS interface. This can seem a little daunting at first but watch the video and you'll soon be up and running. After you've watched the video you should be able to:

- Identify the Main Toolbar
- Identify the Reactor Toolbar
- Identity the Command Panel
- Identify the Viewports

Good Luck... and Enjoy!
