Course Overview:
The 3Ds MAX Architecture & Interior Design course provides comprehensive techniques for 3D modeling and rendering using Autodesk’s 3Ds MAX. This software enables the creation of both 2D and 3D geometric designs, lighting, cameras, and various environmental effects. Participants will learn to effectively utilize these features to produce high-quality visualizations for architectural and interior design projects.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Utilize 3Ds MAX for material design, application, and scene creation.
- Add lights, cameras, render still images, and animate architectural or interior scenes.
- Import scenes from various 3D or 2D programs and comprehensively design them in 3Ds MAX.
