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。

In this 3ds Max tutorial you’ll get an opportunity to explore some of the questions and ideas that come up when creating content for procedural games, all the while creating some fun, low-resolution game assets.

While a lot of the hard work comes from the programmer to create the rules in which worlds are generated, there are some very serious guidelines that we have to follow as game artists.

So by the end of this 3ds Max training, you’ll know where to start on how to create 3d content for procedural games in Unity.
