Like many of the major 3D packages, Max now provides additional support for game development.

And last, artists now have a wider range of polygonal modeling tools from which to choose. New camera effects allow for motion blur and depth of field. For example, an animator can specify that an arm muscle will bulge at a specific angle of a character's pose. An advanced skinning system called Angle Deformers allows animators to set up deformations at specific joint angles. Bones can also be modified with standard mesh tools, allowing animators to sculpt skeletal structures that represent a character's shape and even skin. Also new is a bones system that allows bones to act as parametric objects that can be shaded and previewed. Make the final tweaks to the render and the post-production in Photoshop to finish adjusting colors, contrasts, materials, or adding people to the shot.One of the most important new 3D Studio Max 4 features is an inverse kinematics system based on an extensible architecture that allows animators to choose between solvers such as History Dependent, History Independent, Limb Solver, and third-party solvers. Learn to add texture to the architectural elements and build on the environment by adding interior furniture (sofas, chairs, lamps, books, cups, etc.) to the scene. Now it's time to play around with the composition and lighting of the final photo, the position of the camera, and the basic V-Ray presets to take quick images for the lighting tests.

Once the house is designed, develop its surroundings as well as the atmosphere. They also guide you through the carpentry work from scratch and how to create details such as the furniture to get an even more realistic result. Next, they give you some advice on 3D modeling when it comes to raising the basic structure of a construction (walls, flooring, ceilings, partitions). Begin by getting to know the work of the Phrame team, their influences, and how they look for graphic references for their virtual spaces.
