3ds Max Tutorial: Perforated Form

www.kbieg.com
In this 3ds Max tutorial, I cover the Surface, Edit Poly, Optimize and Mesh Smooth modifier. I also show you how to deform a standard box and extrude and bevel individual polygons to quickly create a perforated form.

Could not find Surface Modifier?

[SwedishBerzerker]

Wow, I'm fairly new to modeling and prefer to make the models using spline cages first and then surface since I've been working in Solidworks before. But my Viking ship ended up with like a hundred thousand polygons (with the least amount of steps on the modifier I could afford without ruining the silhouette), so I figured I'd have to retopologize, which looks like a lot of work. I thought, why is there no automatic way? The optimize modifier was just what I was looking for! :D

Wow there is a use for the optimize modifier.

@hektor753951 hold alt+mouse scroll, then simply move your mouse and rotate

How do you work your camera? Looks like you simply click and rotate the view. THX

Hi

I like this tutorial very much. I'm really a new user with zero experience.

Unfortunately I have the 2010 version of the software....I know I'm asking much....but would it be possible to make the same for this version?

and for that i thank you
