This project demonstrates how to rapidly model a Medium detail asset. This asset is to be used in concert with other assets to create a completed scene of a Outpost. In this set we covered Polygon modeling as well as box modeling techniques and work-flow, Merging files and using general tool sets in 3d studio max 2011. The set is approximately 4.5 hrs in length and comes in 7 parts, The final models for the Satellite Up-link as well as the completed Communication Array are included in the download.
Skills Demonstrated:
- Polygon modeling tool sets
- Edge Modeling
- Box Modeling
- Detail Creation and work flow
- Merging Files
- Pivot point manipulation and Hierarchy control
- Use of Polygon Modifiers such as the FFD and Symmetry modifiers
- Use of Extended primitives
