WHAT IS STANDARD AND EXTENDED PRIMITIVES-


standard primitives are simple object which require only one drag(one click)
extended require two drags(base and height)
they are 3d objects

shapes-
they are 2d objects.

to make 2d object into 3d use extrud from modifiers list>(e) extrud.


LIGHTS-
three types
1.photometric
2.standard- spot,direction,omni,skylight,target,free.
3.arnold

CAMERA-
physical- used for light and arnold mainly.
target-
free- used for walkthroughs.

HELPERS-
(non redereable)

for wireframe mode-(f4)

SPACE WRAP-
gravity is only appicable to particles.

SYSTEM-
Rigging.-bones, biped.

HIRARCHY-
(+,- for size of the pivot)
adjust > affect pivot.
IK- inverse kinematics
Linking-

(press 8 for environmet and effects)


hotkeys in maya, Quad menu in 3dsMax(the options after right clicking).

Fill hole in Maya - Cap in 3ds Max


Select the border > right click.

cordinate system-

hirarchy > pivot > turn off pivot > to change the axis rotation.

linking- select child and parent > link > click the child and drag to parent to
link.

CRTL+C = target camera.


Press C to activate the camera.
apply Noise modifier to create the water texture.
(f9) to render.

Material-
Press M (Material slots) 24
search standard legacy > down in the option box > maps > bump map.
drag drop thr material to apply to the object.

to import the texture-


map > diffuse > general > bitmap.
press (show shaded material viewport) to see the texture in viewport.
modifier > Uv double map.

maretial > reflection > ray trace and choose reflection.
AutoKey(N).

rendering-
Press(f10) > render setting > render setup > scanline render > location setup >

Getting reference Image in 3DSMax-


get a plane > materail editor(m) > select the first slot > physical materail(in
render setting press f10)> change to scanline > standard legacy > diffuse >
general > bitmap > import the image. and drag drop the material on the plane.
To modify the map > modifiers > UVW map.
(f4) for the outline.

Applying diff. materails on the same object ( MultiSub object)-


select the object > right click > convert to poly > select polygon > get the
polygon materail ID( down in the attribute box) > materail editor > new slot .
physical materail > MultiSub Object > set number > set materail > diffuse >
standard legacy > bitmap.
Max doesnt support MP4 format..Use AVI format.

Use displace materail to imprint the image on the plane.


BLEND MATERAIL- Materail editor > physical materail > blend.

LIGHTING-
three types of light _
1 photomatic
2 arnold
3 standard.

Shift+f3 to show light.

Three point lights-


*key light.100% - The key light as the name suggests shines directly upon the
subject and serves as its principals illuminator; more than anything else. the
strength color and the angle of key determines the shoots overall lighting design.

*fill light.50%- The fill light also shines on subject, but from a side angle
relative to the key and is often placed at a llower position than the key light
( about at the level of subject face). it balances the key by illumknating the
shaded surfaces and by lesseing or eliminating chiroscuro effects such as the
shadow cast by a persons nose upon the rest of the face. it is usually less softer
and less brighter than the key light (upto half) and more to a flood. not using a
fill at all can result instrack contrasrs across the subjects face. depending upon
the key lights harshness. Sometimes as in low key lighting this ais a delibirate
effect but shots intended to look more natural and less stylistic require a fill.

*backlight.20%- the backlight (a.k.a. the rin, hair, or shoulder light) shines on
the subject from behind, often (but not necessarily) to one side or the other. It
gives the subject a rim of light, serving to separate the subject from the
background and highlighting contours.
Back light on rin light is different from a kick in that a kick (or kicker)
contributes to a portion of the shading on the visible surface of the subject,
while a rin light only creates a thin outline around the subject without
necessarily hitting the front (visible) surface of the subject at all.

Photomatic Light- (select and drag)


modifier > light distribution > photomatic wave. > choose photomatic files > call
IAS light.
Sun positional light(physical sky)
Arnold light -
ONLY 1 ARNOLD LIGHT IN 3DSMAX.

to add sky-
press 8 > environment map > call the file.(JPG) > Bitmap

Mirror instance __ modifier > symmetry


Plane > increase points > modifier > Refill.

Animation-
N - for auto key
Time configuration - animation setting( timeline setting)
Framerate- PAL (for India) Phase alternating line.
NTSC- national television standard community.

Animation > graph editor > curve editor.


GReater than and less than >< for moving single frame.
/ for play.
Ghosting- Preview of pervious frames in Animation.
Veiw > ghosting.

Tools > preview > graph viewport > 1st option ( for raw animation )

Particles-

standard > particles

There are two types of particles

1. Event particle- Can change accordingly (PH source)


2. Non Event particle- can not change acc. ( all other are non event)

Adding gravity -
space wrap > Forces > gravity.
Binding the space wrap to the particles.

Deflector-
(for a collider plane for bounncing of particless)
Forces > deflector. > simple defelctor > drag in veiwport.

Rigging-

System > Bones (for joints)


Right click after done
Animation > bones tool (for adding bones)
Refine tool for adding bone.
delete and Subtract (for deleting bones)
Turn on bone edit mode for navigating bones.

IK FK -

Select bone > animation > bones > HI server


Select and link the ik and last bone of reverse foot by draging it on it.
Shift A to Align the controller (V)
Select IK > go to motion panel > IK solver > shovel angle > pick target
ALT press and right click > freeze transfrom.
Select and link the controller and leg.

Spine-
Alt A - quick align
Freeze controller > select bone > animation > orient> orientation contranit > keep
initial offset (in motion panel)

Set Driven key In Maya...


Reaction Manager in Max-
Finger bone > controller > freeze > Animation > reaction manager > Click the first
option (reaction driver)
click the circle > transform > rotation > frozen rotation > Y rotation.
Go to driven > select the first bone > trasnform > roation > frozen roatation > Y
Repeat the process for all the bones.
Roatate the driver and driven > select all the components > create state > all
selec.

Blend Shape In MAYA~


Morph something in MAX-

Hirarchy > affect pivot only > center to the object.


Make copies of the the faces with different expressions (Eye blink, mouth open,
chin,)
To import sound > Animation > curve editor > Sound >
dope sheet > sound > properties > addc> close.
