MClass June2014-01 – “Procedural Modeling, Texturing, and Animation” – Paul Neale
Procedural Modeling, Texturing, and Animation
Description:
Building scenes and assets can be a time consuming endeavor unless you use the power of 3DS Max and procedural modeling and texturing to speed the process. Combining procedural modeling techniques with procedural texturing can be fast, efficient and fun to do.
Animating can be tedious to say the least, finding ways to get to the end result faster can help to free time to work on more complex tasks in the animation pipeline. Finding fast and flexible solutions to every day problems using layered controllers will be explored.
