3ds Max is a powerful 3D, modeling, animation and visual effects application from used by artists all over the world – and rightfully so. New have been a staple for new training this year and in this post, we’ll take a look at our instructors’ favorite 3ds Max tutorials.
3ds Max Favorites from Digital-Tutors Instructors:
Introduction to Mass FX
Dynamics can be really complex and especially considering that MassFX is a relatively new dynamics system. This tutorial does a great job of demystifying the way MassFX works so that anyone familiar with working in 3ds Max can get a jump start on getting realistic simulations with MassFX.

Creating Cartoon Characters in 3ds Max
This tutorial has always been one of our favorites, helping thousands of artists and members learn a production workflow to creating organic cartoon characters.
Interior Rendering Techniques with mental ray and 3ds Max
This tutorial covers the complete workflow for creating photorealistic interior renders in 3ds Max. The tutorial not only takes viewers through the critical steps of creating an interior render, but also highlights many common pitfalls and complications that are likely to be encountered, providing valuable knowledge and insight that viewers can incorporate into their own rendering projects. 3ds Max is also very often used for architectural visualization. This tutorial is packed full of tips that every rendering artist will need to know to get photorealistic renders using mental ray in 3ds Max.

UV Mapping Workflows in 3ds Max
UV mapping can be a confusing and cumbersome process, but it is one that is absolutely critical for most texture creation pipelines. This 3ds Max tutorial will teach viewers everything they need to know about UVs, the role they play in the texturing process, and showing how to effectively lay out UVs for complex surfaces.
-
Utilizing Shading Networks in 3ds Max
3ds Max has a very powerful node-based system for creating materials and textures. This tutorial will give viewers a solid understanding of 3ds Max shading networks, creating various materials and textures found in the real world, and unleashing unlimited possibilities when creating materials and textures for any project.
