3DS MAX TUTORIAL: Beginner Crash Course

[@sinbos512]

I had watch about 15 videos for beginners, but this one is best! Most detailed explanations! Bravo!

[@simulation_lab]

Thanks man, I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@thaniapaguia2664]

Very helpful for someone like me who doesn't have any idea about 3ds max. You're a good teacher teaching your viewers from the basics of it. Thank you so much!

[@rizaldosuwandi]

The best tutorial of 3dsMax ever ! Please make full tutorial to make modeling for architecture 3D model / Interior. Thankyou so much Sir !

[@angeliquejdsj]

I was really putting off going through this video because I've already done modelling in Maya (still a beginner). Anyways, I forced myself to follow this, and I'm so glad I did! You go at a steady pace for me to actually process whats going on without dragging on with fluff. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this. SUBSCRIBED!

[@simulation_lab]

That's great to hear!! Let me know if you have any questions when you're getting deeper into Max, and have fun modeling!

[@indifavs]

I had to drop 3ds Max course in week one at my college because their videos were too vague and didn't show how to use tools required for graded activities. My advisor suggested I look up tutorials online before taking the class again. I am happy that you showed how to use the required tools for the activity within the first 7 minutes of this video! Thank you so much! I will be watching and learning from you until I take the class again!

[@pixeIdeer]

3DS Max was really overwhelming for me to begin with and I ended up using Maya. But I decided it was best to try n get to grips with Max again, I wish I'd found this video originally because you explain everything so well and make it very easy to understand. I'm feeling far less overwhelmed after watching this. Thankyou!

[@simulation_lab]

That's great to hear, Jess! Max is great because of it's non-destructive modifier features, and it's huge array of plugins. Maya is incredible, but I think Max is generally more versatile depending on what you're trying to create. I'm glad you're getting back into Max, and you found the tutorial to be helpful! Let me know if any questions come up, and I'd be happy to help!

[@lbergan2]

I so glad I found this. It's much easier to learn this program when it's explained in an unedited, intelligent video. Great job!

[@omarayoubofficial]

You're a good teacher man. Laid back and giving just the right amount of detail and potential uses behind any given tool. Keep those coming!

[@kevinhaney7976]

This video is great for a quick intro. I wish that I had watched it a week ago when i started. It would have saved me a lot of time.

[@bitsurface5654]

Hey - I am a Blenderuser on Linux and did not used max for 10 years - so I just wanted to recall the old stuff. Must say you make great job here. Thumbs up !!! Great channel for Max knowledge.

[@konstantinoskoutsoukos7815]

I studied 3d designing 18 years back and not used untill now. I had problems to start with the modelling untill I saw your video... I am at 18:17 and I have already started to remember, Thanks

[@simulation_lab]

That's excellent! I'm glad it was a good refresh for you :)

[@janasstojanovic]

I am an interior design student and just beginning to use Max.. I found this really helpful, thank you so much for the video

[@anikadadulakova]

Hey, this is an older video, but definitely the best! I've seen a few beginner tutorials before, but you absolutely nailed it. You have highlighted the most important tools, shortcuts and things to understand for a smooth workflow. Well thank you.

[@hotlineoperator]

Even I have use 3dsmax for a while, here was some nice tips what I did not know. So super help, thanks.

[@simulation_lab]

I'm glad you found the video to be helpful :)

[@nahtlwin]

I want more series of this kind of tutorial.. no boring and absolutely on point.. thank you..

[@simulation_lab]

Thanks!! I'm about to finish up some commercial work, so I plan to make more tutorials in the future.

[@vernonbaker5089]

Good stuff and easy to follow. I'm hoping to find something similar on materials and lighting. Thank you!!

[@simulation_lab]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful! Yes, I plan to do a tutorial specifically about materials, texture mapping modifiers, and lighting. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@arunbabu3814]

Excellent one man. I know blender in and out and this tutorial helped me to learn comparatively. From basics to graph editor and dope sheet, under 1 hour. Thanks for this crash course.

[@willowx2132]

Great video I’ve been using 3ds for quite a while as a hobby but learned so many useful things here. Can’t wait to watch more of your vids

[@liliacmoon3280]

i learned more in 1 hour of your video than with a course i did last year, thank youuuuu

[@simulation_lab]

That's great to hear! Glad you found the video to be helpful!

[@umapuma]

Thanks for the video, first one I can actually follow without losing concentration. Very simple and useful. I've tried to work in blender before, but I've chosen 3ds max over it. I don't understand why do people write they are intimidated by 3DS max over blender, with it interface etc. I am an architect and a child of autodesk, used to not only autodesk but archicad, rhino, etc, and for me 3DS MAX comes much more natural and understandable than blender

[@alessiafiorente9778]

If I started to learn how to use 3ds Max it is thanks to this video. Great work, I'll definitely watch the other ones as well.

[@shreyanagi4674]

So far whatever tutorials I watched weren't helpful a lot. Either they were too much into lil details or skip it. I think this is the superb video I came across. Quick and detailed in 5 minutes. Woah!!! Being a beginner I was able to absorb it nicely.

[@michalhajduk5745]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have been working in SketchUp for 10 years, wanted to switch to 3DSmax, and this helped a lot! Quick and clearly explained. Please make some more videos, many will appreciate it!

[@emilyoconnor5126]

Thank you - very very helpful! I'm familiar with SketchUp and AutoCAD mainly, but have learned some functionality of Revit and Vectorworks as well, so a lot of the concepts and controls already make sense. Very nice tutorial - approachable and clear.

[@Soljarag5]

i have not used 3dsmax since 2009. Thanks for the refresher!

[@JohnSullivan1]

One of the best basic tutorials I have seen. Thank you!

[@chasical8493]

The official 3dsmax tutorial is really boring, but this explained so much more in less, and I also learned more specific stuff that I actually was interested in learning about, thanks so much for this!!

[@jijunabu9440]

Thank You,I has learn 3ds Max for a year, but your make me fully understand what is 3DS Max.

[@simulation_lab]

That's awesome, I'm glad the video helped you out!

[@davidoconnor2020]

Really good vid, trying to learn 3d, stuck between blender, 3ds max and maya, this was helpful. Subbed.

[@simulation_lab]

Thanks David! That's def something that everyone starting 3d runs into.. so many programs do similar things. Blender is really powerful and its free, but it's pretty clunky. Maya is awesome for modeling, but Max is more intuitive. In my opinion, Max is a great place to start!

[@tpblechschmidt]

I’m thankful I found your video. You explain things very well and you’re doing a fantastic job. Thank you for the leverage and boost of confidence in using 3ds MAX... 💪🙏🦈

[@SuperMassman]

been looking for a quality course in clear English. there are many out there, taught by very knowledgeable people, but understanding them is difficult for me ,, a beginner. later when I am more familiar with the software it will be different, but for now I need concise wording,

[@matt_romein]

This was a fantastic tutorial that covers a little bit of everything. Thank you so much! Looking forward to watching your other videos.

[@fathimarehana901]

Such an underrated video, i have the software for some months and idk shit about it. But this video did help me to understand the basics, not everybody can teach what they know but you can buddy🤝🏼

[@Queizar_X]

Thank you for this tutorial and thank you very much for taking your time, slowly and explaining in simple term with examples (like the bird bank example). Other "teachers" were hard to follow because they were zapping from explaining one point to another. I have given a like to this video and can't wait to watch your other tutorials.

[@simulation_lab]

Awesome!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on a new tutorial, a rigging crash-course for beginners. I'll continue explaining things in real-world terms with examples, since you found that to be helpful :)

[@pat2e215]

Thank you, pretty cool "get up and get started" video, will be checking out some of your other vids.

Great tutorial, I was trying to learn 3DS max after four years of Blender.

[@simulation_lab]

Blender is a great tool, I know a bunch of artists that use it and make really killer work. Welcome to Max! It's really easy to use once you get the hang of it.

[@sethurk]

@@simulation_lab , why would someone use 3DS instead of Blender? What extra features we get? Does it make production faster? Is it quicker to learn compare to blender? Tq

[@bradley9343]

Hi everyone! I am very new to 3DS Max but trying to teach myself. I am going through each item along with Kyle but all of a sudden the gizmo turned gray and red and does not have any handles for me to move objects. I have restarted the program and also made sure that the gizmo is turned on under the "customize > preference > gizmo tab". Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I'm over an hour in to troubleshooting this and have gotten no where. Great video! I have no idea what I could have done to get into this lock up. Many thanks to whoever may be able to help.

[@simulation_lab]

Hey, you might just be in select mode. If you see a gray gizmo on an object, that usually means it's just selected, and you can use the W, E, or R keys to translate, scale or rotate the object. If you tap the Q key, that put you back into select mode, which let's you select one or multiple objects. You can also use the translation buttons at the top toolbar if you don't want to use the hot keys. Let me know if that helps!

[@bradley9343]

@@simulation_lab Thanks so much for your reply! This was helpful! I had finally figured that out some time yesterday. I am coming from many years of Sketch Up experience and am interested in learning 3DS max and some rendering plug in (likely VRay or Corona to improve my renderings). I so appreciate you posting these immensely helpful videos. I am following along with you on all of them!

[@simulation_lab]

@@bradley9343 That's great to hear! Let me know if you have questions as you're learning. I have a few rendering-specific tutorials, which I mainly use Fstorm as my main rendering engine. I highly recommend Fstorm for beginners, as it's super easy and fast (if you have a compatible GPU). Regardless, I plan to create some Vray-specific tutorials soon. Let me know if you have any recommendations for tutorials you'd like to see!

[@carolineblanchet8548]

Hi there! Amazing videos! I am new to 3ds max but have experienced an issue with typing in a specific dimension in to the parameters settings (length, width, height section). Say I want to make something 1-1/4" wide... once I hit "enter" the dimensions jumps to 1-1/8". Any ideas why this is happening? I am working on doing architectural renderings and these small dimensions are important. I would greatly appreciate your feedback!

[@simulation_lab]

If you go to Customize from the top menu, and open the Units Setup menu, you can specify the unit resolution for your units. If you change that to 1/4, then your dimensions will show that scale. Let me know if that helps!

Great tutorial, I for some reason am having trouble with assigning colors to objects/ working with the material editor, any suggestions on what to watch

[@simulation_lab]

Hey Mike, sorry for the late reply! Assigning materials is quite simple once you get the hang of it. If you have an object selected, you can click on the "assign material to selection" button in the material editor, and it'll slap it on. You can use a "UVW Map" modifier to adjust the size/scale of the texture if you're using a texture map in the diffuse slot, for example. I plan to make a tutorial specifically on the material editor, and material modifiers in the near future, but let me know if any questions come up as you're tinkering!

[@simonastoeva5790]

Hello! I have a question - is there a difference between "Convert to Editable Poly" and adding the Edit Poly modifier? I have seen other videos that use convert to editable poly. From what I get the difference is with the modifier you can go back and edit everything.. same with Chamfer from the modifier list or from the other menu . I see when you add it from the modifier list it stays on the stack and you could go back and edit.. I would appreciate a quick answer, I just starter but would love to know which way is better. Do you ever use Convert to Editable Poly and what's the difference between the two..? Thanks so much!

[@simulation_lab]

Hi Simona, good question. Anytime you want to edit geometry, always use the Edit Poly modifier. That will allow you to revert back to previous changes, and it keeps your model "parametric". Many times when I model things, I usually have a bunch of Edit Poly modifiers in the stack, just in case I want to revert back to a previous edit. The only real difference between the Edit Poly modifier and Converting to Editable Poly, is when you convert it, you collapse the modifier stack. This saves on memory, but you won't be able to access previous changes or modifiers. I typically only convert it when I know I'm finished with the model. Hope that helps!
