Engineering Education for the Mechanically Inclined

Free training on visualization

Autodesk Viz and 3DS Max training

I met Tedd at the FIRST Championship.  He is the go to person for learning the visualization stuff.  He has a blog that I wanted to share with those of you interested in the products.  The link is http://www.tbmax.net/blog. 

Another great place for information is the official Visualization blog of "Maxed out".  You can find many helpful tips there when using Viz or Max.  Here is the link: http://area.autodesk.com/blogs/blog/5/.

Happy Creating....  If you want to show off your animation, post it to the File and Design Library http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=m_library.  After all, that is why the link is there.  And for having over 78K on the site, it is very underutilized.

What is Autodesk VIZ?

Here is the formal definition of Autodesk VIZ:

"Autodesk VIZ 2008 is the ideal 3D visualization companion tool for AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor® software users. Autodesk VIZ is an entry-level tool for the creation of professional 3D imagery to fully communicate design ideas. Autodesk VIZ 2008 – based on the power of 3ds Max® 9 software - contains the modeling, animation, lighting, and rendering tools required to create very compelling visualizations."
