Chapter 1. First Launch: Getting to Know 3ds Max
This book is aimed at artists who already know the essentials of modeling and are considering modeling specialization. A big part of specialization involves seeking ways to streamline your workflow. Possibly you're a diploma student and want to level up your 3ds Max skills after a short course, or possibly you're self taught and want to measure the skills you've obtained. If you are starting from scratch, however, this chapter should help you get up to speed. It covers the essential starting points for those making their first launch into 3ds Max.
These are the areas covered in the chapter's topics:
- Quick start: Jump into making models
- Getting to know the User Interface
- Default and custom UI schemes
- Switching UI presets
- Making changes to hotkeys
- Customizing the Quad menu
- Making changes to the view layout

- Navigation with the ViewCube
- Navigation with the Steering Wheel
- Displaying your model for modeling
- Setting scene units
- Searching for content in the scene
