What you'll learn

Throughout these lessons we'll look at how to generate architectural forms in 3ds Max from various inputs such as graphical data, images, video, audio, and simulated forces. We'll then be applying the results to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, giving it a radical avant-garde facelift. By the end of this training you'll have gained knowledge and confidence to use this digital design process in your own projects. On a technical level, you'll also be comfortable using splines, surfaces, physical displacement, animations, wire parameters, animation constraints, controllers and wind simulations. Software required: 3ds Max 2012, Vray 2.0, AutoCAD 2014, Photoshop CS3.
