3D Studio MAX hotkeys and Mouse Essentials

This 3D Studio MAX video tutorial shows you how you can use hotkeys and the mouse to speed up the modeling and other processes. When you start out with 3D Studio MAX you will likely start with trying out different tools and features and the basics. Something that should be included in those basics, but is often left out, is using hotkeys. As you already know, or will certainly find out soon, creating 3D art is a time-consuming activity. Using hotkeys and the mouse efficiently can save you tons of time.
