Résumé

Boost your effects skillset with this 3ds Max workshop. Tutorial lessons give you hands-on experience in creating realistic fire, earth, air and water effects. This new edition is co-published by Autodesk Media and Entertainment, and includes new tutorials on entering the Earth's atmosphere, icebergs, lava eruptions and a photorealistic sun.

Inspirational color images cover every page of the book as the author shares his professional techniques and workflow processes.

Companion DVD

In addition to the reference material, full-sized screenshots and resulting 3ds Max files, there are extra tutorials in the form of videos which include 'Lava Eruption' and 'Atmosphere Entry'. These video tutorials adhere to the same format as the tutorials in the book, with the Introduction, Analysis (etc.), but in this case the author talks you through each step while demonstrating it all on-screen in the 3ds Max interface and calling on the reference material throughout.
