T!is student or-?oo- contains a set of exercises t!at c'arif) in a practica' a) t!e concepts ?e!ind rendering an arc!itectura' mode' in 3ds &ax.

T!e exercises cover t!e ?asic or-f'o of transferring arc!itectura' designs from Revit rc!itecture into 3ds &ax it! t!e goa' of adding organicmode'ing7 animating and rendering t!e proect. $or more training information7 see t!e officia' 3ds &ax training manua's and t!e tutoria's avai'a?'e fromt!e !e'p menu.
