3D Studio MAX 3.1 tutorials

This is a series of tutorials I have developed for college-level courses in introductory 3D graphics. The exercises are designed to be done in the order presented here. While there can be no substitute for a flesh-and-blood teacher, I believe that these tutorials are constructed well enough to stand on their own, and give beginners a good start in the field.

Many 3D graphics tutorials you find -- in print, on the web, or sometimes even with the product documentation -- are full of mistakes and misleading instructions. The lessons I present here have been "field-tested" with actual students over a period of more than two years. All ambiguities have been clarified, leaving an almost bullet-proof set of introductory exercises.
