Autodesk 3ds Max 8 E-Course

Module 1: Autodesk 3ds Max 8 Biped New Features: In this module, you will look at structural improvements for the biped and you will edit the motion of a biped with Euler curves. You will learn about additional links and twist links, as well as how to apply them to improve rotations at the shoulder cuff and in the spine. You will learn how to increase flexibility when animating by using the Edit Poly modifier to edit bones to your mesh as well as to adapt a mesh to the biped. You will also apply Euler curves to the biped and adjust them in the curve editor.
