Transforms are a fundamental part of 3D graphics. It's important to know this well before moving on to making perfect 3D models with 3ds Max. So, check out this video tutorial to see how to move, rotate, and scale objects in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max, the graphic digital modeling and rendering 3D software program for film, television, and games.
In this 3ds Max video tutorial, you'll learn how to select objects or shape in the scene and also the many different ways to do so in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll learn about free form, paint, and more.
In this 3ds Max video tutorial you'll see how the spline method can be used to model a very complex form, such as the ear, in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll see several tools found in EditPoly for creating overhangs, and also look at attaching the ear seamlessly with an existing head. This process works directly in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop, specifically topology, just so you know.
This 3ds Max video tutorial goes over how to create bump maps and how to quickly create one using your existing color map as a starting point in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop. It will also cover how to breakup your bump map with high frequency noise at the shader level for those closeup shots.
In this 3ds Max video tutorial, you'll see how to use a sphere to speed up the modeling of the skull and neck areas on your organic 3D human model in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software and Adobe Photoshop.
This 3ds Max video tutorial goes over the concept of specular maps and how to paint one using an existing bump map as reference in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software. You'll work in conjunction with Adobe Photoshop, so if you don't have one or the other programs, why even bother building digital 3D characters?
This 3ds Max video tutorial will show you various ways to mirror your object and the pros and cons of each. Then, it will demonstrate various methods of subdividing your mesh in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital graphic modeling software.
This 3ds Max video tutorial will go over several ways to refine and add detail to your 3D model, like using EditPoly. More specifically, you will be adding polygons for a nose, then refine them until we achieve our desired shape in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max digital 3D modeling software.
This 3ds Max video tutorial will take you through the process of setting up reference plates for precision modeling in Autodesk's 3D Studio Max. So get those Adobe Photoshop reference images ready for 3d Studio Max so you can display those modified photographs. It can be done in just about any digital 3D modeling software out there.
If you've come home from a long day of work, you might just want to sculpt in Pixologic's Zbrush 3.1 3D sculpting software. So sculpt out of clay to practice the Zbrush 3D modeling program, don't work on Zspheres or an entire model, practice on sculpting. If you plan on being a good 3D digital animator, then practice, practice, practice. This video will show you how to work in the interface, use brushes, and sculpt a squirkle, yes a squirkle.
Before you learn the hard stuff of 3D digital animation with Pixologic's Zbrush 3.1 sculpting software, you might want to learn the navigation of things. Navigation is a very boring thing in Zbrush, but is very important for 3D modeling. This video will teach you to move objects, rotate, and more.
If you're starting out using Pixologic's Zbrush 3D sculpting software, then you might want to learn the interface. In this video, you'll see how to work inside of Zbrush 3.1's interface, so one day you'll be the digital animator you wanted to be. But beware, 3D modeling is not easy, unless you've done it before.
Jason Welsh shows you how to use polygroups in Pixologic's Zbrush 3.1 3D sculpting software and explains the difference between a subtool in a polymesh structure, when combining. So, for all you 3D modelers out there, if you want to make great animated characters, this is a good video to check out.
So, you want to add some weird things, like horns to your 3D animated character in Pixologic's Zbrush 3.1 sculpting software. Well, you've come to the right place. This video tutorial will teach you how to add Zspheres to your sculpt in Zbrush and why. Your 3D animated model will look great when you stage another object and add it to your character.

In our opinion, human body parts are some of the hardest things an artist can draw. When it comes to parts like hands and ears, we generally settle for a basic, rudimentary rendering because achieving a realistic portrayal seems so hard. If you're looking for quality, though, then Maya modeling software is an excellent way to achieve it.
