New Material Explorer & Enhanced Scene Explorer — 3ds Max 2010 New Features
by Autodesk 40,045 views
The new Material Explorer simplifies the way artists interact with objects and materials. Navigate all rendering-related assets in the scene, perform operations on multiple objects, or inspect individual materials. The Material Explorer also lets you replace materials—making iterations much easier, even in highly complex scenes.
With 3ds Max 2010, Autodesk continues to expand the functionality of the Scene Explorer and increase its level of integration with the rest of the software. This powerful scene management toolset now works with viewports, Track View, as well as the Material Explorer. Additionally, Scene Explorer now offers improved management tools making it easier to navigate, inspect and modify the properties of objects in a scene.

Creative Animation Techniques to Reveal Models: Revealing with Masks
by Autodesk 9,632 views
Chapter 1 excerpt from the following presentation: In this class, you will learn cool techniques for creating animations that visually construct objects and buildings using PFLow, Pro Booleans, MAXScripts, Maps, Loft and Reactor. This class will provide ideas on how to make a building or an object construct and reveal on screen using various motions. This class is essentially about the "Wow!" factor of any visualization project. This session was presented at AU 2007 and was the best-rated class of AU that year.

Elemental Series | Fire: Creating Basic Fire
by Autodesk 4,149 views
Chapter 2 excerpt from the following presentation: This class will cover the creation of realistic fire, ranging from base flames through to complex propane fireballs and explosions, smoke and special pyrotechnic effects. Until recently the creation of digital fire was so difficult that most film-makers opted to shoot real pyrotechnics on set or separately (for compositing later). The introduction of advanced fluid solvers, volumetric shaders and rendering solutions have, however, enabled us to create convincing, directable, computer-generated fire and explosion simulations. In this session many areas of 3ds Max will be touched on, including particle flow (and some box sets), lighting, rendering, fume FX and materials. A lot of the theory discussed will be transferable over to Maya and other 3D applications.
