Publisher description
There are many plug-ins for 3D Studio Max that greatly extend the already considerable power of this Windows 95/NT-based 3-D modeling and animation tool from Kinetix. 3D Studio Max Plug-Ins Guide teaches you how to use several of these plug-ins for mesh painting, particle systems, metaballs, and dynamic animation, providing step-by-step instruction and plenty of screen shots for each exercise. A full-color insert shows you extraordinary effects you can create using a variety of plug-ins and techniques. You also get tips on managing and troubleshooting plug-ins, which can conflict with each other and cause your system to behave oddly or crash altogether. Software developer Tom Hudson, one of the creators of the first version of 3D Studio Max, explains in an appendix how to write two 3D Studio Max plug-ins and provides enough groundwork for developers to write their own. A comprehensive directory to existing and forthcoming plug-ins makes it easy for you to shop around for the plug-ins you need. Finally, the bundled CD-ROM has demo and full versions of 130 plug-ins, along with filters and utilities for object creation and modification.
