Description

Bring the power of a software tool used primarily in entertainment, gaming, and visualization into the world of engineering! Autodesk VIZr in Manufacturing Design stresses parallels between VIZ/MAX modeling techniques and modern manufacturing processes. Ideal for novices, this how-to and reference book is conveniently organized into three sections: modeling; basic lights and mapping, plus advanced lights; mapping and animation. A logical "next step" for readers familiar with technical sketching principles and/or the use of AutoCADr drawing tools, each chapter focuses on a specific topic and highlights its importance in engineering technology. Lists of critical terms, brief explanations of basic concepts, plus general guidelines for producing quality results are also included to provide readers with "the big picture." A number of step-by-step examples engineered to guide users to mastery of proven modeling, rendering, and animation techniques follow. Finally, each chapter concludes with an industrial example and additional problems to motivate readers as they learn to optimize 3ds max and solve real-world manufacturing design challenges. An excellent primer and long-lasting reference, the depth and variety of topics allow the book to be used equally effectively as an introduction to technical modeling, a beginning course in technical animation, or a broad survey of technical visualization. Benefits: -manufacturing topics are presented in the same order in which they are introduced in engineering and technology curricula, making this book ideal for the novice -geometric analysis is offered as a key technique for increasing the probability of successful modeling and animation, developing both problem-solving and computer-based skills -modeling concepts are developed around sketches, engineering drawings and photographs, as well as direct construction in the tool itself -step-by-step examples from the world of manufacturing lead readers through their
