3D Studio VIZ基础课件与高级课件完全教程：英文版

　　3D Studio VIZ是Autodesk公司推出的三维动画设计软件，目前在全球已经有广泛的应用。本书是3D Studio VIZ基础课件和高级课件的综合教材。它既可以做为3D Studio VIZ培训教师的用书，也可以供感兴趣的学生自学时使用。本书的目的是运用具体的设计实例循序渐进地讲述VIZ的各项功能，高级课件两部分。基础课件中的前三章（用户界面、建模概念和场景创建）介绍了VIZ的功能概貌，包括VIZ的主要基础功能如链接、建模、光线设置、材料设置、静态渲染、通用建模概念、NURBS建模和动画等，与AutoCAD集成、创建对象、创建与编辑样长、创建材料、创建管线、渲染与背景这六章，以及创建减振器模型、创建山地车模型、机械装配动画这三章，分别以建筑和机械设计的应用实例为背景讲述了VIZ的这些基础功能。高级课件分为三个模块。通用模块讲述了VIZ常用的高级功能如子对象级的建模、光滑网格曲面的编辑、多层复合材料、材料类型和映射、光线调整和镜头效果等。建筑模块和机械模块分别通过建筑和机构设计的应用实例，讲述了在VIZ中如何增强DWG链接、运用Lightscape光线、建筑模型的动画、高级NURBS建模、链接机械桌面文件和机械设计的动画。作为培训课件，本书所带光盘中提供了丰富的图像资料和一份多媒体演示，光盘中的内容与书中各个部分、模块和章节一一对应。
