3ds max modelling problem

ludwig110

I want to simulate a V-bit milling image. Recessed polygons from outside to inside with a constant angle. The depression depends on the width of the polygon.
I can project the vectors onto a surface with ProBoolean and assign them a Matrial ID. I've tried it with the "Extrude Surface" modifier. I can only apply this to smaller polygons.


Can someone give me a hint how I can model that?

Thank you in advance

You want a V profile to the cut?

If so you can take the image and in photoshop cut out the recess from your layer and use a stroke effect set to gradient / shape burst  to make a gradient from outer edges to the centre.

In substance designer a distance node will do the same

That will give you a texture you can use for displacement on a flat, highly tesellated plane - or you can simply use it as a bump map

I want to give the groove a different material ID than the flat layer. But for that I have to divide the whole area extremely, and my computer torments accordingly.
But thank you for the answer
