My tutorials for 3Ds Max 2008

  Hi guys, after a such long time to find a screen capturing software, I finally found one that is OK.

  I will begain a session of tutorials for 3Ds Max, from starter to an advanced level. The first few videos are very easy and simple if you ever touched 3Ds Max before. However, I think it will gotten to be a little complex after 5 to 8 videos. So hope you guys all learn something.

  I will give you the link of FileFront.com to download my tutorials, which is very convenient. However, most of the tutorials has a really big size, so wish you have a good Internet connection speed or else, you can just go on to YouTube and search for "3Ds Max tutors".

  UI stand for User Interface in 3Ds Max. I am thinking that now I finally get a time or it's the best time to decide how your UIs will be in order to increase your working speed and your personal convenience.
