本教程是由Digital-Tutors机构出品的3dsMax建模科幻城教程，时长4小时14分，附工程源文件，使用软件：3ds Max，官方更新时间：2011.10.3。

3dsmax是当前世界上销售量最大的三维建模，动画及渲染解决方案，它广泛应用于视觉效果，角色动画及下一代的游戏开发领域。至今3dsmax获得过65个以上的业界奖项，为下一代影视、游戏、动画设计提供交互图形界面。3dsmax是业界应用最广的建模平台并集成了新的子层面细分(subdivision)表面和多边形几何建模，还包括新的集成动态着色（ActiveShade）及元素渲染（Render Elements）功能的渲染工具。同时3dsmax提供了与高级渲染器的连接，比如mental ray和Renderman，来产生更好渲染效果及分布式渲染。

Digital-Tutors – Creative Development: Modeling a Sci-Fi City in 3ds Max with Steve Connor

4 hrs. 14 min. | 10/03/2011 | 3ds Max | Author: Steve Connor

Learn how to create your own futuristic city to scale with animated cameras and vehicles. Planning, reference materials, and imagination will be addressed, so that students are led to optionally create their own version of the tutorial, equipped with the methods they learn in the video. Included is creating a 3D set to scale, how to make models appear large and dramatic, and maximizing the use of 3 simple tools — extrude, inset and bevel in polygonal modeling. We will create textures for variation in tones of buildings. Cloning of buildings and attention to staging will be discussed and demonstrated, to maximize the use of a limited number of models to achieve a sense of scale, without sacrificing variety. The fly-through will include creating and animating a camera as it travels with a vehicle flying through the model city. Textures will be from the 3ds Max libraries. A procedural map will be used to create a futuristic sky around the scene. We also cover mental ray rendering and the daylight system for sophisticated shadows, ambient lighting and reflections for glass.
