3Ds Max is a 3D modeling software developed by Autodesk as a successor to the parametric modeling capabilities of AutoCAD. It allows users to create 3D models, animations, and renderings. 3Ds Max is widely used in industries like architecture, interior design, engineering, and film/TV for visualizing designs in 3D. It supports the full animation pipeline from modeling and rigging to lighting and rendering. Key features include polygon modeling, materials and texturing tools, and the ability to work efficiently across all stages of production. Dhyan Academy offers training in 3Ds Max to help users enter the fields of 3D art and special effects.
