  3D Studio Max - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
3D Studio Max (name changed to 3DS Max, also sometimes called 3dsm, or just Max) is a 3D modeler developed by Autodesk Media and Entertainment (formerly known as Discreet and Kinetix).
3D Studio MAX (the product's original name until release 4 when it was changed to "3ds max" to better comply with Discreet's naming conventions) was also originally created by the Yost Group.
Usually, the modeller begins with one of the 3ds max primitives, and using such tools as bevel, extrude, and polygon cut, adds detail to and refines the model.

 3D Studio Max - Wikipixel
This is the 3ds Max implementation of subdivision surface modelling, a methodology that is rapidly displacing NURBS modeling as the methodology of choice for both low- and high-polygon modelling.
Max implements NURMS as a modifier, to be applied to a polygon or mesh object.
In older versions, Max required the user to smooth the whole mesh to which the Meshsmooth modifier was applied, or to pass the portion to be applied upward, through the modifier stack.

 Don's 3D Studio MAX R2 Page
Recall from the previous section that the fastest way for MAX to update a scene is to render only the smallest amount of scene data – generally only that part of the scene that has changed since the previous frame.
MAX can work most efficiently if the blit model is used, since it can then repaint the viewports by reblitting the off-screen image any time another window damages the viewport region (as when the material editor, trackview, or the various floating dialogs are used throughout a typical MAX session).
If MAX can’t tell that the blit model is implemented, it has to assume the system is using a swap model, and this means that MAX must re-render the entire scene (four times for a four view layout!) each time the viewport display is damaged.

3D studio max costs a pretty penny, so can't be afforded by everyone, but if you are an animation professional, the cost is well worth it.
This is where the advantage of 3d studio max comes in over by hand animation: With animating by hand, you'll have to draw a different walk cycle from any perspective which you want to view the character, which can multiply your work by several times.
With a 3d studio max animation program, however, instead of just drawing a picture of the character doing certain things, you create a model of the character in 3 dimensions.

Created in 3D Studio MAX software from Kinetix, this drawing was created by a student in the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design.
Thanks to the latest 3D modeling software and VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) technology, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is expanding the frontiers of traditional architectural education with innovative projects such as dancing buildings and animated presentations.
Next, the students imported these 3D models into 3D Studio MAX to mesh the models and complete the building with doors, windows, and stairs.

 3D Studio Max
Superficially, the 3D Studio Max screen layout looks similar to the old DOS version, with four viewports and a number of controls in the bottom left corner of the screen.
One of the problems with the DOS version of 3D Studio was the lack of a decent ‘undo’ facility should a change to any part of the model be required.
The lighting routines in 3D Studio Max have benefited from the addition of volumetric lighting which resembles a spotlight shining through a smoky room.
