3D Studio Max，常简称为3ds Max或MAX，是Autodesk公司开发的基于PC系统的三维动画渲染和制作软件。其前身是基于DOS操作系统的3D Studio系列软件，最新版本是2013。在Windows NT出现以前，工业级的CG制作被SGI图形工作站所垄断。3D Studio Max + Windows NT组合的出现一下子降低了CG制作的门槛，首选开始运用在电脑游戏中的动画制作，后更进一步开始参与影视片的特效制作，例如X战警II，最后的武士等。

CGCookie Playing with Particles Advanced in 3ds Max
In this video we’ll take a look at two different topics introducing this new series related to particles. First excercise will be really simple.. We’ll use PFlow to simulate a complex abstract structure created with tiny boxes, in this way using a boxed emitter and a procedural map, we’ll simulate a volume made of little geometric voxel units as you can see in the tutorial sample image.

This test will give us the possibility to move on the next topic, simulating a gas mass similar to a nebula or a galaxy in the space. We’ll use some techniques similar to the 1st scene, but we’ll see more interesting way to control galaxy shape, and then we’ll start working at basic scene setup to be ready to continue working on the look development and rendering.
