The unique tutorial approach of this book permits readers to learn essential techniques that every 3D artist needs to create CG environments by recreating the earth's elements of earth, air, fire and water. No extra plug-ins are required to perform the exercises.

Draper studies the real world and then simulates it with 3ds Max -a unique approach that reflects classical art training.""Deconstructing the Elements"" allows artists to recreate natural effects using Autodesk 3ds Max. This new edition boasts all new tutorials. All editorial content is updated to be current with the current version of 3ds Max.
