Study Notes
- Joe Badler welcomes viewers to the 3DS Max Hard Surface Modelling Basics course.
- The course aims to utilize basic yet powerful modeling tools within the 3DS Max application.
- The introductory chapter will cover simple setup tweaks to make modeling quicker and easier.
- Chapter one will explore modeling with splines in Max to create flowing shapes with complex surface properties, which would be difficult to achieve using polygon modeling techniques alone.
- It suggests building models one piece or component at a time to fix topology and solve mesh problems as you go.
- Building basic assets with primitive objects is the oldest 3D modeling technique.
- 3DS Max's cylinder primitive will feature heavily in creating a complex piece of kit
- In Chapter 4, using only some of the component pieces that are needed for a model will be covered, including cleaning up and refining the topology of a mesh.
- Chapter 5 aims to demonstrate the power and flexibility of using 3DS Max's modifier stack in the modeling phase of a project, specifically working with the Edit Poly modifier.
- Hard surface modeling is not about separating distinct techniques but is more about being spontaneous.
- The thing you will come to realize is that hard surface modeling isn't separated into distinct techniques, but instead is more spontaneous.
- It encourages making use of multiple tools and techniques to get the job done.
- All of this is achieved using just a handful of 3DS Max's basic yet versatile modeling tools like cuts, connects, and welds.
