Tutorials
To start learning about the program, read Using character studio. This gives you an overview of Biped, Physique and Crowd features. This will also provide in depth topics for understanding Biped and Physique, and workflow.
You have the choice of using the printed tutorials or following the same lessons online. The content is fundamentally the same, though the online tutorials have the advantage of showing illustrations in color. Occasionally there are last minute corrections that occur to the online documentation, too late for the printed volume. These corrections are noted in the Readme file on the CD.
If your system has only a single monitor, you can resize the help window to cover the two upper viewports horizontally. On a dual-monitor system, move the help window to the second monitor, so you can see all four viewports. Following the printed tutorials also solves this problem.
To open the help system from within 3D Studio MAX, choose Help > Additional Help > character studio 3 Reference, and click Display Help. As a plug-in to 3DS MAX, the character studio 3 documentation is not part of the standard 3DS MAX reference.
You can also run the compiled help file, cstudio.chm, by clicking the icon in the Windows Explorer. If you have trouble running it, you may need install Internet Explorer 4 or higher. You'll find the install for IE4 on your 3DS MAX R3 CD.
Each tutorial begins with instructions for loading of necessary files. Files for the tutorials are automatically installed as part of the standard installation. However, if you do a minimal installation, the tutorial support files will not be installed. In that case, you can load the tutorial files directly from the \tutorialsdirectory on the CD.
Each tutorial has its own subdirectory located under \tutorials. All the support files are in these directories, including textures, motion files, 3DS MAX scenes, and sample AVI files.
Tutorials teach you to use character studio 3 in the context of creating animation. They focus on learning how to accomplish a task, such as animating a character swimming.
If you need to learn how to use a particular tool or feature, you will also find the steps outlined in the procedures that are found in the User Interface reference descriptions.
When you are in a hurry to learn how to use a tool or feature, go to the Contents panel of the help system and open Procedures > character studio Procedures.
A tutorial to help you use MAXScript with character studio can be found in the MAXScript Reference, updated with this release. Look for the CS3Tools.cui Tutorial topic.
