For introductory-level courses in 3D Design and Concepts, Animation, Computer Graphics, Technical Illustration, Mechanical Design and Drafting, and Architectural Design and Drafting, in departments of Engineering, Architectural, Drafting, and Computer Graphic Arts.
Ideal both for students who know just the basics about computers and CAD and for those who are experts in CAD but wish to add a new dimension, 3D Studio VIZ Fundamentals blends theory and practical applications in a hands-on, lab- and exercise-intensive tutorial. It provides a basic introduction to computer animation, an overview of 3D Studio VIZ, preparation for 3D modeling, 3D modeling, presentation, and practical applications that reflect today's animated world, e.g., in films, advertisements, and gaming environments. This book will be of special interest to those who use AutoCAD. Many of the features in VIZ have been modeled after AutoCAD's interface, allowing for faster learning and application. An appendix explains the features and procedure to bring AutoCAD files into 3D Studio VIZ.
