[ObscurityN]

how can i make lines smooth out like in the line tool with smooth? i want to make my square have smooth sides

[sandhuwuut]

@ObscurityN use the tool called 'fillet' when you click 'vertex'

THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I was trying to model high heel.. the sole part is kinda hard... I have search many videos... yours just perfectly what I need... thank you~

[bnewton81]

I'm coming to Max from Blender. A tutorial that makes use of blender analogies would be perfect for ppl like me. I understand if you have never used Blender. Maybe you know of a group that has already done this?

[QUATR00]

I'm pretty sure a box-modelling approach would be much much faster than spline-modelling. I use box-modelling for most of my models and it's a really fast and dirty way to model things

[theadman024]

this technique rarely works, autodesk should fix the bugs before putting it in their tutorials

[ozakugeek2]

where can i find that bkacground picture

[Adrihanx]

@ozakugeek2 This tutorial in 3d max look for it there tells you where you are, if not well written is that i´m use google translator

T.T I keep trying to do this but every time I go to apply the surface onto the body cage, it doesn't come out right; its all choppy. Could you tell me why this is happening?

[RIGENSTEIN]

Hi I am using the 2010 version and I have a problem with the refine and connect part, I did exactly what the tutorial said, but instead of creating a single vertex, it creates two vertex, one on top of the other, I did the whole process again, and the same problem happened, is there any checkbox I should mark?, I didnt watch the others tutorials, I only need to learn how to make the knight.

[Aggror89]

@RIGENSTEIN Yes I often had that problem that in some way the vertices were not connected although 'connect only' was selected. A way to so solve this problem is to 'welding' the 2 vertices together. select both the 2 vertices and click the weld button in the geometry tab of your models modifier.

i Have a problem with the surface. WHen i use surface some polygons dont take the surface :( can u help me ?

[Aggror89]

@donaltios make sure that vertices are connected to each other and that there are no overlapping vertices . Use the weld tool to merge vertices toegether.

[donaltios]

@Aggror89 i do it but the vertices dont merged :(

[Phildosmen]

You are great! I have to do a homework (3ds max scene off chess set) and I have a big problem with modeling a Knight. Other figures are easy to make by Line -> Lathe, but the Knight...

So, thank you!

[heartpeep]

thanks for the tutorial. is it just me or do the tuts that come with 3d max seem to have some errors or lack of thorough instructions x__x

[50LightSabersInAPack]

i can't move the green line sideways i can only move it up and down so it gets bigger, why is this?

[50LightSabersInAPack]

nvm lol i got it i didnt press the X for the X-Axis movement XD

[50LightSabersInAPack]

I don't suppose you could make a tutorial on how to make the Doctor Who intro sequence could you?

[gerky03]

if you could do a tutorial on making a toy car i would really appreciate it , your videos are so much help!! thanks for life saving tutorials

[VisualKnights]

I can look in to that upcoming weekend. I'm trying to make for all reactor components a tutorial.

[iplaywithdeadthings]

thank you so much for this tutorial!! i found it very helpful!

[aissa336]

thank you for this tutorial.

[VisualKnights]

Thanks for your comment. Let us know if you are searching for other tuts. that way we know what kind of tutorials we should make.
