Autodesk is the manufacturer of the popular 3D Studio Max software, commonly referred to as 3ds Max. This software is used to create three-dimensional (3D) models and animations using a variety of materials and textures. Each of these components is grouped into libraries, typically based on a single project, and then subdivided by a logical breakdown of the subject, such as an area. The key to a great library is organization that can be followed by anyone.
