3D Studio VIZ Tutorials
by Daniel Douglas

Six substantive, "start-to-finish" tutorial projects -- each of which culminates in a professional quality image -- make 3D Studio VIZ Tutorials the perfect choice for the reader who wants to learn 3D Studio VIZ by using it! Each self-contained tutorial in 3D Studio VIZ Tutorials assists the reader in developing the skills needed to build a model, add textures and backgrounds, and add lighting to produce a rendering. All models have been carefully chosen to introduce concepts in logical order that results in renderings that will both satisfy and inspire. As a result, new users gain confidence by repeating basic, essential skills while 3D Studio VIZ users of advanced ability reap the satisfaction of experiencing each tutorial as a discrete, whole lesson. Prior knowledge of other CAD applications is not required. Keywords: 3D Studio Viz

3D Studio VIZ Fundamentals Using Release 3
by Stephen J. Ethier, Christine A. Ethier

Ideal both for learners who know just the basics about computers and CAD and for those who are experts in CAD but wish to add a new dimension, 3D Studio VIZ Fundamentals blends theory and practical applications in a hands-on, lab- and exercise-intensive tutorial. It provides a basic introduction to computer animation, an overview of 3D Studio VIZ, preparation for 3D modeling, 3D modeling, presentation, and practical applications that reflect today's animated world, e.g., in films, advertisements, and gaming environments. Many of the features in VIZ have been modeled after AutoCAD's interface, allowing for faster learning and application. An appendix explains the features and procedure to bring AutoCAD files into 3D Studio VIZ. For those who use AutoCAD, and those whose work involves computer graphics, technical illustrations, architectural design and drafting, and animation.

3D Studio VIZ 3.0 & AutoCAD 14 Training PAK (CD-ROM)
by Nancy Fulton

This training CD delivers 38 in-depth, step-by-step, hands on tutorials for 3D Studio VIZ 3.0, and more than 50 tutorials for AutoCAD 14.

This CD delivers all the skills you need to use 3D Studio VIZ 3.0 to create photorealisitc images and animations, and AutoCAD 14 to create working drawings.

The 3D Studio VIZ 3.0 projects on the CD cover photorealistic lighting, creating custom materials, modeling with NURBS and modifiers, linking VIZ designs to AutoCAD 14 and 2000 drawings, working with external references and proxy objects, and creating your own tools and toolbars. You also learn how to control visibility with fog, and how to create walkthrough animations with the Walkthrough Assistant. You master simple character modeling and animation, camera matching and rendering virtual environments with Smooth Move Panorama. Perhaps most important, you learn how to create 3D models from floor plans, and to work with 3D geometry created in AutoCAD.
