- Templates are a new feature in 3ds Max 2016,…and let me just go ahead and show you…some of the templates that ship with the program.…Go up to the application menu…and choose New, New from Template.…Let's begin by exploring this sample…Architectural Outdoor template.…I'll select that and click Create New Scene.…This template contains a couple of placeholder objects,…this hand pointing down at the building…should give you the clue that you're supposed to…put your architectural model in here.…
I'm just going to place a teapot in there…as a placeholder,…and let's go ahead and render it.…I'm going to click on this teapot icon right over here,…and incidentally, I can go to some blank place…on the toolbar, and I can drag back and forth,…because my screen resolution is set fairly low…for this video,…I can't see everything on the toolbar,…so I have to drag it back and forth sometimes.…I'll click this teapot to make a rendering,…and it's going to show us that…it makes a nice outdoor rendering.…
It's using the mental ray renderer,…

8/5/2015In this course, author Scott Onstott shows you how to build walls, doors, windows, stairs, railings, moldings, cloth, pottery, furniture, grass, trees, landscapes, and much more, using splines, modifiers, Booleans, and NURBS modeling. You'll also learn to texture-map objects, light them with both direct and indirect illumination, place virtual cameras, render, and animate scenes.
