Let's talk Design.. more specifically Design Software - 3ds Max!
It is a graphics program for making animations, models, games and images. It is developed and produced by Autodesk.
Being a design student, I use it develop my own space designs. It is an excellent software to create your own designs once learned properly. It sure is an elaborate program and has many use, be it animation videos, objects, movie scene etc.
I'll share my own experience with it. It wasn't easy for me learn it (though I'm still in between the process) given I suck at software and digital work. But it is worth the pain. Once you get a hang of it, you start enjoying it cause then you really start exploring the possibilities. The infinite range of things you can create. You can test your own ideas and see the real look of it.
Today I'm sharing one of my projects: a classroom design. It was a small project but a good one to start with. No detailed specifications which allowed us to do whatever we wanted. I designed a classroom for postgraduate students. Number of students that can be accommodated here are small, 8 to be exact. But hey, I was allowed to make up my own rules here ;P
Here are some rendered images of my design:
Thoughts behind the design - I wanted simple colors - not too many but something that would add fun and elegance. Hence, orange, sea green, gray along with wooden floors and dark wood panels. Panels to separate the two spaces: one for lectures and other for personal study. Linear strip lights for a simply ceiling. Sliding windows to add natural light into the space. Indoor plants for freshness.
Well, that was a brief about the design. I really enjoyed creating it. And I think it's really helpful to realize your design visually so as to take them forward. There are many other software available these days. But I haven't tried any other 3d program so no comment there.
Share me your experience and knowledge about this one and any other.
Thank you :)
