While the rest of the world (or so it seems) is in New Orleans this week, the quiet time gives me a few days to check out some “non-critical” issues.

During the development of 3ds Max Design, Ken and Shane (see blogs above) had us provide examples for the second DVD that ships with 3ds Max Design. So let’s go see what ended up in the shipping version.

 

There are 4 gigs of “stuff” which includes almost 2 gigs of motionbuilder training to enjoy. In the samples folder, we have Images, LandXML, Luminaires, Maps and Materials, Motion, Movies, Particle Flow Elements Library, Scenes, Scripts, and UI folders. Let me break that down for you.

Looking for a fountain or to add snow to your scene? Snow in August? Grab it from the Particle Flow Elements Libraries. Revit users, want to get rid of the exposed edges on the imported BIM? autoedges.ms, one of 151 scripts, removes them. It helps with Inventor files also.

 

I could go on and on.

 

So, dig in, lots of goodies for FREE. Well, at least at no additional cost.

 

Don’t forget to sign up for our next webcast, Wednesday August 12th. We’ll be looking at “Creating Artistic Renderings in Autodesk 3ds Max Design”. Sign up at the Architectural Resource Center.
