Since the release of 3D Studio to the public in 1990, several 3D modeling and rendering tools have crowded the market.  Created by only 4 developers, it kick started the consumer computer generated 3D industry, and MaxUnderground has an interview with one of the creators Tom Hudson to discuss the growth of the industry.

We had the great pleasure of interviewing Tom Hudson, who has been one of the main developers of 3D Studio, as well as the author of the software’s precursors, Solid States and CAD-3D. In this interview, done some months away from the software’s upcoming 20th anniversary, Tom shares fascinating details on the development of Autodesk 3D Studio and 3DS Max, as well as his views on the current state and future of the CG Industry. Be sure not to miss the extra info written by Tom that can be found by clicking on some of the images, and which sheds light on many of 3D Studio’s iconic illustrations. We hope you enjoy this dive into the waters of 3D history.
