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 Quick Start to Modeling in 3ds Max Volume 5

In volume 5 of Quick Start to Modeling in 3ds Max, we’ll begin reinforcing all of the concepts, tools and techniques from the previous levels and create a complete character.

We’ll also cover how to begin blocking in specific details of our model by creating some advanced control loops that will be crucial for proper deformation of an animated character. We’ll cover how to break down the large task of modeling a character’s body, head, hair and accessories.

At the conclusion of this volume we’ll have a finished character model that can be used in a narrative scene.

These courses are designed to be taken in sequence so we really encourage you to start with Volumes 1 through 4 before continuing with this section. We also encourage you to take advantage of the assignments that follow each volume. These assignments will allow you to take what you’ve learned and apply those tools and techniques to your own projects.
