The basic and fundamental skills that are required by students and newcomers to 3d animation are thought with this product. The material covered in this training series is vital and builds the foundation for further advancement into 3d animation. Without the fundamental skills learned in this training series, it will be difficult to impossible to be able to continue into advanced 3d animation and digital content creation. Because the material in this training series is geared towards beginners to the world of 3d animation and 3dsMax, this training series is not recommended to experienced 3d artists. However, if you have just begun working in 3d, are thinking about it, or have little to no experience, then this training is for you. The aim of this training series is to take someone who is new to 3d animation in general and get them up and running with 3dsMax as quickly and easily as possible. If you have never worked on a real production with any 3d software, then this training series is right for you. This product was designed for 3dsMax 2009 and up.

Developed by ArchVision, the RPC 3 Plug-in for 3ds max provides you with the ability to place, edit, create, and render all types of RPC content.
RPC Content requires specialized software (plug-ins) to be used within an application. Some software, such as 3ds max, Autodesk VIZ, Revit, Architectural Desktop, Accurender, Bentley MicroStation J and V8, SGI Performer and Informatix Piranesi ship with the Plug-in natively. ArchVision and its partners have also developed several RPC Plug-ins for applications such as Newtek's Lightwave 3D, Maxon's Cinema 4D, Adobe Photoshop®, and ArchVision Composer™. ArchVision has also created an RPC application programming interface, or API, that allows ArchVision Development Partners to integrate RPC support within their own applications.

In the first of our Advanced, 3 DVD series on HLSL Shader writing within 3dsmax, Ben Cloward will give you an understanding of what a HLSL shader is. How a shader can be created with free software, edited and then displayed within 3dsmax. Fundamental programming concepts such as Data Types, Structs and Functions. How to create a shader GUI, the basic framework of a HLSL shader and much much more. By the close of the DVD, Ben will have you writing your own basic HLSL shaders.

Glest is a free 3D real time strategy game, available for several operative systems

Men of War takes place in Europe during the height of World War II. The story unfolds across three different campaigns played out through the eyes of Soviet, Allied and German soldiers. Each campaign has its own structured timeline bringing a different story of the war to life spanning across Russia, North Africa, Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Italy and the Pacific. The main Soviet campaign sees two student comrades, Smirnov and Kuznetzov, join the army and quickly become brothers in arms as they rise through the ranks and experience the rigors of war. Men of War will feature 50 new units to play, including newly designed tanks, APCs and heavy guns. Dynamic, in-game video enhances the single player missions, while developer Best Way has given the sounds of war new range with over one hundred new effects, recorded under real operating conditions. The single player campaign will also feature a fully customizable user interface so players are able to set-up their command layout as they please.

RayFire Tool gives you the ability to shoot, destroy, demolish, wreck, break down, wreak havoc, blow up, burst, detonate, explode and do other similar things you have always dreamed of to do in Max.

RayFire Tool 1.43 feature list:
NVidia PhysX Rigid Body support via RayFire user interface. Only 32 bit 3ds Max version. This means that You still can use RayFire with PhysX engine support on 64 bit PC, but only with 32 bit 3ds Max. Also pay attention that RayFireTool uses software PhysX engine, which means that You can use PhysX engine with any video card.
NVidia PhysX Influence. Allows You to affect on objects in sumulation by forces, spacewarps and mouse cursor. Animatable Time Scale property allows You to create Bullet Time effect in a seconds.
Interactive Demolition System for NVidia PhysX engine. Creates dynamic simulation and demolishes objects accordingly to their material and collision strength. Each fragment can demolish further with proper amount of collision strength.
Fragmentation. Allows you to fragment geometry objects.
Explosion. Allows you to realistically explode objects.

Vue 7 xStream operates as a fully integrated plug-in for 3ds Max, Maya, LightWave, Cinema4D and XSI. It adds all of Vue's dedicated environment creation tools to your application's interface.

Using these tools, you can create complete, hyper-realistic 3D environments without leaving your favorite application. This includes (among others) the ability to create atmospheric effects, build procedural terrains, grow SolidGrowth trees or even populate entire forests .

Edit Vue elements inside your application

Proxy geometry is dynamically created by Vue 7 xStream inside the host application so that you can use your application's standard manipulators to move, rotate or resize each element of the Vue environment individually.

You can use all standard tools of your application (such as alignment, scripting or even add fur to Vue elements), and you can make Vue elements interract dynamically with native objects (e.g. collision detection, etc).

Animation of Vue items can be done either through Vue (e.g. for wind effects), or using the host application's animation tools. Both types of animation are naturally combined seamlessly.

Vue 7 xStream for 3ds Max and Cinema4D will even let you paint EcoSystems interactively (on Vue objects or on native objects), directly through the host application's viewports*.
