3ds MAX Training

3ds MAX training provides exposure to a premier design visualization platform from Autodesk. The training prepares the attendees to start their career in graphics and architecture designing. Participants learn using tools for 2D and 3D modeling, and generating impressive rendered animations. Knowledge about transforming objects, surface modeling, rendering; and 3D procedural modeling is imparted to the trainees. On exploring the software features, the participants learn highly efficient ways to create complex objects for stunning visualization projects.
