3ds Max? Techniques | The Emergence of the Architectural Film in Architectural Animation
Using the language of filmmaking, visual effects, motion design, and architectural illustration, explore elements of pre-production such as pre-visualization and animatics
Animation with a heavy emphasis on camera moves
Post-production techniques including rendering, creating and using matte passes, and utilizing render passes
The class uses a “movie-breakdown” and “shot-breakdown” approach to illustrate the various methods
There is also some discussion of optimizing workflow with MAXScript, as well as scene and file organization Continue Reading
Design first for 3d animators / by Geoffrey Kater
As a designer, your role within a production is as an aesthetic problem solver who is there to
support the story. As a 3D artist/animator, your role is to solve problems, but comes after the
design process. Design and animation are two different disciplines that problem solve in two
different ways, yet each has the same goal. What if we combined these disciplines into a
single role that uses design to influence animation throughout the entire 3D process? This
book is about that very thing. For those who are open minded about learning a valuable skill
like design, this book will not only improve your animation work, but will improve your worth
as a 3D artist.
