Study Notes
- This is a 3DS Max Hard Surface Modelling Basics course.
- Joe Badler looks forward to working through the modelling course.
- The course will use basic but powerful modelling tools in the 3DS Max application.
- The introductory chapter covers simple setup tweaks for a quicker and easier modelling experience.
- These tweaks are invaluable in a production environment.
- Chapter one looks at using splines to model flowing shapes with complex surface properties, which are difficult to create using polygon modelling.
- The course builds a model one piece or component at a time, fixing topology and solving mesh problems.
- The basics of an asset are built from primitive objects supplied with the modelling program.
- 3DS Max's cylinder primitive will feature heavily in creating a complex piece of kit.
- Chapter 4 will cover the usage of some component pieces needed for a model.
- Chapter 4 will cover cleaning up and refining the topology of a mesh.
- Chapter 5 will demonstrate the power and flexibility of using 3DS Max's modifier stack, specifically the Edit Poly modifier, in the modelling phase of a project.
- Hard surface modeling is spontaneous rather than separated into distinct techniques.
- Multiple tools and techniques are used to get the job done.
- Only a handful of 3DS Max's basic and versatile modelling tools such as cuts, connects, and welds are used.
- The course prepares you for a hard surface modelling adventure.
