My first creation in 3DS Max was a small castle. This used some simple techniques and started with shapes as opposed to a simple primitive box, and cylinders. Then used the bevel profile, within the modify section to extrude it along a path i created using a Line.
Positives from this exercise -
- Working on half the model then mirroring
- Using shapes and then beveling too create unique 3D faces (not just straight extrusion)
- Changing from editable splines to editable poly's
- Using the Inset and extrusion to finish the tower.
Points to work on for the future -
- Polygon count is through the roof
- Loss of work, did not save on an occasion and lost my work. I should save often in future in case of errors and or problems or wanting to take the model in a different direction
- Could not do curves. In the future I need to look into curves and how to create them in 3DS Max
- When welding I have welded unwanted vertex together ruining part of the model as highlighted in the picture below, 1 showing the area affected and 2 showing what the wall should appear like.
