Category: 3DS Max tutorials > Animation - Difficulty:

Whenever one thinks of 3D effects, explosions often come to mind. With this tutorial you will learn how to create one of the simplist explosion effects there is, that of a 3D box.

Creating your first character in Max can be difficult, but here I try to make it as simple as possible

Have you ever wanted to animate a car crash or any objects colliding, flying through the air. If you've tried that you know it's very difficult if at all possible to manually keyframe such animations. There's a solution off course, Reactor, a system built into 3ds max to animate collision and thing like that using physics. We'll teach you the basics, a simple car crashing into a wall of boxes, reactor does most of the work for us, we just have to adjust some settings and that's it!

In this tutorial we will use box modeling to create a security padlock
