3D Studio Max，常简称为3ds Max或MAX，是Autodesk公司开发的基于PC系统的三维动画渲染和制作软件。其前身是基于DOS操作系统的3D Studio系列软件，最新版本是2013。在Windows NT出现以前，工业级的CG制作被SGI图形工作站所垄断。3D Studio Max + Windows NT组合的出现一下子降低了CG制作的门槛，首选开始运用在电脑游戏中的动画制作，后更进一步开始参与影视片的特效制作，例如：《X战警II》，《最后的武士》等。

Digital-Tutors机构是号称全球最大的CG付费教程网站，2000多万次视频播放记录，顶级客户的优秀项目实例，被誉为教学和娱乐结合的最好的教程，RenderMan创建人称之为“完美的学习站点”，成立至今已经有12年之久，内容集中在视频制作和游戏制作两大板块，其网站完整的教学的理念，先进的技术支持（他们甚至开启了移动手机看教程的计划，支持IPAD/IPHONE/ANDROID），都让人耳目一新。尤其是多层级的教学难度设置，有趣的考试内容，时不时的竞赛，让DT成为非常活跃的一个CG机构。

Digital-Tutors Automotive Modeling in 3ds Max 2015

In this 3dsMax tutorial we’ll use an edge modeling method to begin building our Maserati Gran Turismo. Computer generated cars are a staple of film and commercial projects. Whether the parts all fly together before our eyes in a commercial meant to show off superior engineering, or the car is tossed around by gigantic creatures in a feature film, there is a need to create 3D automotive models.

The different parts of a car present specific challenges but also provide certain advantages. The workflow for creating a car can vary, from using splines and surfaces to box modeling. Once we’re happy with the shape, we can cut the panels apart and add thickness. We’ll cover methods for maintaining hard edges and smooth contours. We’ll cover the common polygon modeling tools as well as some new tools in the Modeling Ribbon that will make certain tasks much easier.

It’s a big project, but we’ll go step by step so that by the end, you’ll have created a 3D car from scratch and by the end of this 3ds Max training you’ll have the knowledge you need to build your own vehicle.
