3ds Max Master Class Series 英文合輯版(DVD)(教程)
內容說明:
Learn how to 「trick-out」 your biped! Pia Maffei, of Applied Ideas,
demonstrates how to customize Biped to create custom character rigs. Use Null
Helper objects with
3ds Max Animation Constraints to work with Biped bones
and use the Motion Mixer to work with animation tracks.
Pia brings you through how to properly plan your rig, good rigging
guidelines, creating leg rigs and IK chains in the foot. She continues by
creating a spine rig, the 6 arm approach, and finishes with demonstrating how
to work with proxy geometry.

以下為CD2（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 2 Advanced Character Rigging 《
3ds
Max:高級角色設置》）介紹：
Rigging a character is an important, and challenging, part of the game and
VFX workflow. Sergio Mucino, accomplished video effects and games artist
discusses how to use 「layered rigging」 to create simple through advanced
character rigs. The rig is the 「user interface」 to your character—it
must be clear and precise to allow as much control as possible when animating
the character.
The session begins with technical character rigging workflow and introduces
skeletal design for advanced skinning deformations. It continues with
topics such as advanced controllers, wires, expressions, scripts and embedded
procedural animation. It finishes with skinning and morphing of facial
expressions, the use of proxy geometry, and muscle-based deformation
systems.

以下為CD3（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 3 Vehicle Rigging 《
3ds Max:交通工
具運用》）介紹：
由Chris Harvey主講，在這個系列著重交通工具建立索具（rig）圖例
3ds Max各種類型
的索具的適應性。
交通工具細節主題例如懸浮，自動輪旋轉，操縱，機械部分自動交互，自動/手動調整第
二運動。交通工具索具包括使用script控制，表達式，自定義特性，script插件，用於
索具的建模。智慧控制對象的使用，配線。

以下為CD4（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 4 Secrets of Lofting 《
3ds Max:放
樣秘密》）介紹：
在這一集中，Ted Boardman解開放樣的秘密，讓設計者和藝術家使用
3ds Max最強大的建
模工具之一-放樣。如果你在建模中使用更多的機動性和設計過程中需要頻繁改變，這個
課程將更適合你。

以下為CD5（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 5 Materials All Dressed Up 《
3ds
Max 材質和貼圖原理》）介紹：
由Ted Boardman指導，在這個課程中是考慮用戶如何掌握
3ds Max 材質和貼圖的基本原
理，但需要更耐心的從材質編輯器中建立令人信服的圖像和動畫。不管你是藝術家還是
設計師，你學到方法將增加你的產量和豐富你的圖像。
Discover techniques of enhancing important specular highlights,
which define hardness and surface condition-- your viewer's first
critical indication of the type of material. Specular highlights are
key elements of a wider tonal range.
Learn methods for using compositing in both
3ds Max materials
and maps to extend the range of tools available in your working
palette. This enables you to build layers of surface information;
each hidden or revealed by transparency of the other layers.
Extend the concepts of layering to new levels by using masking
techniques in materials and maps. You』ll learn how to use
variations of the Falloff map type and Vertex Painting in
3ds Max
to achieve these effects.
以下為CD6（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 6 Texture Mapping 《
3ds Max 紋理貼
圖》）介紹：
在這個系列中，Pia Maffei 呈現Unwrap UVW Map modifier到開始繪製自定義紋理用於
角色，小道具或環境。如果沒有Texture Mapping（材質貼圖），3D圖像將會非常的單薄
，就像一層紙一樣沒有質感。而Texture Mapping可以把一張平面圖像貼到多邊形上，這
樣渲染出來的圖像就會顯得很充實。

以下為CD7（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 7 Advanced Film Effects 《
3ds
Max:高級影視特效教程》）介紹：
This session focuses on at least three visual effects shots which use
afterburn and pflow.
Presented by Allan McKay, this lesson leads you through creating visual
effects shots as
you would in production, starting with an animated scene and then applying
the effects.
Examples include having a tornado procedurally tear apart a house,
trees and other surroundings as well as pull lots of dirt,
rocks and other debris into its base funnel.
Another illustrates planes firing at each other showing basic level
flocking
behaviors while displaying ways to make two pflow sources communicate with
one another.
Lastly, we'll examine other "Hollywood" effects such as earthquakes.

以下為CD8（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 8 Reactor Dynamic 《
3ds Max:創建動
力學模擬教程》）介紹：
在這個課程中，Mike McCarthy著重講述使用Reactor建立動力學模擬。有些事情僅僅不
能或不必用關鍵幀，在Reactor中你不得不這樣做！要獲得物體真實
世界中屬性象質量，彈性和磨擦力，你能建立一個模擬用Reactor來為你做動畫。

以下為CD9（
3ds Max Master Class Series DVD 9 Compositing In Mind《
Max大師級教
程9 - 合成篇》）介紹：
在這個課程中，Gary Davis，Discreet 論證講師，講述許多運用諸如合成和編輯環境的
出發點。該教程由Discreet官方公司開發，極具權威性以及在合成技術方面的全面性。
為後期製作、廣播電視、遊戲動畫開發等的合成應用技術提供權威性幫助。
Realize your most complex, creative ideas.
Bring 3D film effects to the big screen. Generate realistic characters in a
top-selling game. Create rich and complex design visualization. Introduce a
new dimension to your school curriculum.
註：這個系列的九個教學已全部出來，特別是這個第九部等了好久了（2006.3.5組織才
釋放）。
DVD 9: 3D with the Compositing Process in Mind
In this session, Gary Davis, a Certified Discreet trainer, challenges the
view that many 3D animators have that 3D renders are a finished piece.
Instead, 3D renders can be seen only as a starting point in a chain of
applications such as compositing and editing environments
