3ds Max Learning Channel

In this movie, you use a free script to animate the "growth" of a building, and watch it get created from the grounds up.

In this movie, you use the Populate tool to add animated pedestrians to your city scene.

In this movie, you turn an empty building lot into a park and then place and animate a camera to get an interesting shot at your newly-built city.

In this movie, you place and randomly rotate nine city grids by 90 degree-increments to create an irregular pattern. In the process, you learn to write a simple script that creates a "Randomize" button to automate the task.

In this movie, you turn your buildings into simple editable polys to reduce calculating time. You can create in-project duplicates or you can export and store buildings as external files to use with other projects and other 3D applications.

In this movie, you explore additional Building Maker functionality and learn to create multi-part parapets that are mapped differently. You also learn to copy levels to insert and edit building blocks after you have created the building hierarchy.

In this movie, you continue exploring Building Maker's capabilities by learning how to create buildings that have multiple footprints.

In this movie, you use Building Maker, a tool that helps you automate many of the steps required to create low-polygon buildings, using an intuitive and unified interface.

In this movie, you make use of the macroscripts you created that automate repetitive tasks to complete the first low-poly building you started earlier. You will be able to witness how macroscripts can cut down your production time extensively.

In this movie, you use the Macro Recorder to record and reuse the repetitive tasks you needed to create a floor volume. You then create a new 3ds Max toolbar in which you add a button that invokes your custom scripts.
