3D Studio Max Train

Yesterday at Canterbury College, I finished off a 3D Modelling project. We had to create a train similar to one in a picture we were given out, using 3D Studio Max. This is what I have done.

no locomotive that i saw so far was that wide on the font side.looks more like a house than a train .And hey ,dont go all mad at me, ure critic is ure best friend ; )

@rbflowin Now you come to mention it, it does look rather wide as the body over-stretches the wheel bogies.

Nice one !!

Keep that way, you'll become a good modeler or animator.

You just have the knowledge to do that enough good.

@Ochenter Thank you. I have made a few alterations to this model back in September. I re-deigned the wheel bogies and moved the couplings onto them because I realized that having them on the engine meant that they would break if it was pulling something going round bends on a track.

Wow man, your train was one of the best of our class! What happened to the wheels? See ya in Jan!

Oh, hello Andrew. In the main Side View, the wheels and battery boxes are blocked due to the shadow, but if you look closely at the side view at 0:56, the wheels can be seen. I edited some cylinders to look like actual train wheels, followed Paul's video on how to do the barrier that holds them to the main bogie, created a simple box for the bogie itself, put them together underneath the train, and duplicated the bogie. I couldn't any more detail as there wasn't enough time on Tuesday.

@7Lightening Thanks for takin it sportively. just a friendly advise try wacthin 3dmax videos of pantural (ford shelby vs.....) ,itll give u an idea of how far you can get with 3dmax.
