Release Notes

3ds Max 9 has never been this simple. With that said, what more is there to tell
you about Introducing 3ds Max 9: 3D for Beginners? Plenty.

Dariush and Randi Derakshani help you bootstrap your knowledge in every area
that matters most: modeling, texturing, animating, and visual effects. They
don't just cover 3ds Max's broad, deep feature set: They place features in the
context of real-world CG production workflows. And, given 3ds Max's inherent
complexity, this book's voice is just so welcome: friendly, relaxed, knowing,
occasionally even funny.

Once the Derakshanis have briefed you on a few basic concepts and a little
jargon, you'll get a taste of production workflow by animating a simple mobile.
Next, after you've got some sense of where you're headed, they walk you through
3ds Max's far-from-trivial interface. Chances are, you'll return to that
interface chapter for reference years after you've grown comfortable with 3ds
Max.

You'll jump into modeling quickly, with projects ranging from human hands to
bedroom dressers; then move into increasingly complex projects, including
organic poly modeling with subdivision surfaces (great for creating your own
aliens).

After a practical introduction to materials and UVW mapping, the authors turn to
animation, from keyframes onward. Again, you'll build your skills incrementally,
from the classic "bouncing ball" through walk cycles, and beyond. There's a full
chapter on lighting: standard three-point lighting, as well as custom
illumination, shadows, and special effects. Then, once your scene's right,
you'll learn how to render it, diving into everything from cameras to
raytracing, atmospheric effects, and motion blur.

Last but most assuredly not least: a hands-on introduction to 3ds Max particle
systems, space warps, and reactor physics. If you didn't expect this from a
beginner's book, prepare to be very pleasantly surprised.
