MT8 – The Communications Array for 3ds Max – Sponsor Member Set

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
