Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
No I didn't this glitch comes after I select element mode and then switch back to edge. It stays stuck in element mode. I found this tutorial on youtube very helpful as far as using the array tool. I was using the wrong rotate on the left not the right. I also didn't realize you have to choose pick from the world drop down… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
No problem nufftalon, I'm constantly rewatching those tutorials. I'm gonna try drawing out splines and attach them all as one, then extrude to see what I come up with. Such a simple solution haha. There's another tutorial on CGtuts that you might find interesting. In case you're interested in knowing the initial steps of… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
Chaserm2 Drop that sprocket image on a plane, then using a spline line trace out the shape. Since it's a pretty complex shape you probably want to trace out several shapes and then combine them. nufftalon yea splines are pretty cool and have a lot of uses. One thing to keep in mind is that you can turn any edge in edit… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
I will try it again tonight I was in world mode though if it doesn't work this time I will screen shot it. I am also having a problem with a uv issue in max unrelated to splines I know but a pain nonetheless, when I am in edit uv mode I can sometimes select edges but most of the time when I am in edge mode its selecting… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
You can plop a shell modifier on but I used extrude. Let me know what you end up coming up with. I attempted to spline along the shape for the inner star shape, but wasn't completely successful. Once I had the spline shape made all I would get after extruding would be a cookie cutter shape that I couldn't cap or anything.… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
Chaserm2: Thanks I love cgtuts! I have been meaning to watch those videos I watched the other ones on there by Racer445 hes really good. I have use pro boolean before but it comes with some clean up still thats the only thing about it. I also noticed using splines as guides to create geometry is good as well. That piece… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
When you say mech, do you mean mesh? I'm having a hard time jumping from "decorative gates" to "Mech"! For a Mech I can understand avoiding spline modelling, for a decorative gate though, I personally see no problem with using splines as it's exactly how I'd start it all off, I'd be keen to know of better ways if there are… -
Re: 3ds max techniques with splines
I learned that splines work well with extrude modifier. From my understanding in order to use the surface modifier you must close the spline first. I see alot of cars done with modeling splines and it is less geometry to deal with but is there anything wrong with doing just normal poly modeling to make a vehicle? Eric…
