✦ Synopsis

A significant portion of your work as a designer will involve sketching and drawing throughout the design process. Not only will these visual explorations help convey your ideas to others, but they will help you see problems within a design and help you refine your ideas. 3D computer modeling and animation take design visualization beyond hand-drawn sketches and foam-core models by allowing you to create a complete replica of your design and study it from any point of view in any lighting condition. With 3ds Max Design 2011, you can apply color, texture, lighting, and other effects to see how variations of these elements affect your design. You can get a realistic look at your design to help you make better decisions as you progress through the design process. Mastering Autodesk 3ds Max Design 2011 is intended to help architects, designers, and visualization artists present their designs through 3D models, rendered still images, and animations.
