Viewing the Essential Skills Movies
When Max first loads, users are greeted with a Learning Movies dialog box, shown in Figure 1.17, that
includes six Essential Skills Movies (seven movies are available in 3ds Max 2009 Design). These simple
movies explain the basics of working with Max.
The Learning Movies dialog box also includes links to What’s New and to Learning Path, which are pages on
the Autodesk Web site where you can find more tutorials and resources. After viewing the Essential Skills
Movies, you can disable the Show this dialog at startup option to prevent this dialog box from appearing the
next time you start Max. You can access the Learning Movies dialog box at any time using the Help menu.
Note
The Essential Skills Movies require an installation of QuickTime. n
