3DS Max Mastery: Character Modeling & Animation

Characters in 3ds Max

This beginner course is about building 3D characters in 3ds Max. The listing says you will create, texture and render characters and scenes, which makes it a focused route into character work rather than general 3ds Max use.

Character work is a different discipline from architectural modeling, with organic shapes instead of straight edges. Taking a course with that focus helps you see which skills transfer and which do not.

Skills you come away with

• Character modeling in 3ds Max
• Texturing characters
• Rendering characters and scenes

The listing gives few details, so check the syllabus if animation is central to what you want.
