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。

CGCookie Exclusive The Island in 3ds Max

In this video for 3ds max we’ll take a look at a simple technique to use Forest Pro to create a 3D island in a sea environment.

What we’ll do

In The island video, we’ll create a 3D island mesh using a plane primitives with a displace modifier over. To create the mountain look, we’ll use a nested noise/gradient map. Then we’ll add a sea environment done using the VRay Sky, and a plane with MTD displacement in rendering to simulate the waves. Waves map is generated by a tweaked smoke procedural texture. Forest Pro will be used to add various plants/trees to cover entire island and decide where to put vegetation using heigh and slope variation. Rendering will be done using VRay and final comp/color correction will be prepared using Fusion.
