System RequirementsThe Hardware You Need
System Requirements For general animation and rendering
CPU – Dual Core 1.4 GHz or equivalent AMD
RAM – 2GB (4GB recommended)
OpenGL or Direct3D capable graphics (256MB)
Swap Space – 4GB
For large scenes and complex data sets
RAM – 8 GB
Swap Space – 8GB
OpenGL or Direct3D capable graphics (1GB)
3
System Requirements 3D Studio will also run on low end hardware
To get high end hardware is cheaper
Saves your time
Saves your nerves
Pays back your money
4
The InterfaceUnderstanding & Personalizing
Understanding Main elements
Menu Bar
Toolbars
Viewports
Command Panel
Lower Interface Bar
Sub-elements

Etc.
Editing primitive parameters Size
Resolution
22
Keyword Entry Rollout Create primitives
entering precise values
Create multiple objects
No effect on the current object
23
Modifying Objects Parameters
Parameters rollout Different parameters for each
primitive object
Affects the current object The rollout disappears after deselecting the object
24
