Learn a new language, say Swedish. Learn the basics of 3D modeling in 3ds Max 2019, how to animate in Max, and how to render in 3ds Max.
You’ll need basic familiarity with 3ds Max 2019 in order to follow along with this tutorial.
Buy or rent a copy of 3ds Max 2019 or a more powerful version of the program.
Open the program and navigate to the File menu.
The File menu includes access to your entire 3ds Max installation, custom presets, shared libraries, asset management, and project files.
I suggest you access the Load Asset preset library from the File menu and search for a 3ds Max 2019 file by name.
Browse to the file in the asset library. A 3ds Max 2019 file is a compiled file. This means that it contains compiled code that’s ready to run.
Drag the file into the scene window to import it into 3ds Max 2019. You can drop it directly into the scene window if you have an older version of 3ds Max that uses that interface.
In some ways, the three most important parts of 3ds Max are the 3D modeling tools, the node-based rigging tools, and the animation tools. To learn these, you’ll need to build models in 3ds Max 2019.
Using 3ds Max 2019, you can create models. You can rig them. You can animate them. You can render them. You can visualize them. And all these activities involve you doing some sort of modeling, whether it’s in the scene window or in the editor window.
In the chapter below, we’ll make a simple character in 3ds Max 2019. I’ll give you some modeling advice on working with 3ds Max 2019, show you how to rig the character, and then animate and render it.

Chapter 2: Building a Character in 3ds Max 2019
Let’s start by making a simple character.
A character is a 3D object that you’ll display in a movie or a game. You can make them in 3ds Max 2019 or you can make them in any 3D modeling program you choose.
I’ll make mine in 3ds Max 2019. This is a 3ds Max program, after all. I’ll also use the modeling, animation, and rendering tools
