3ds Max Modeling :: Fitted Lid On Irregular Model

Mar 9, 2012

I want to model a hollow stone shaped (see images attached) object in 3D max that will be 3D printed. The stone shape has to have a separate top and bottom so that I can embed electronics in it afterwards. My problem is I am finding it difficult to create a lip that will enable the top & bottom to securely fit into one another, so that when someone picks it up it will not fall apart. I was thinking of using a system like the attached image Lip_Profile.gif. I have no problem modelling something like this on a regular box/sphere using a lathe, however I can't find a technique to model this on irregular objects. Any technique that would enable me to model such a fitted lid?

3ds Max Modeling :: Cut Up A Model Into Components

May 30, 2013

I'm trying to cut up a model into components. I'm using QuickSlice but it doesn't seem to be functioning the way it's supposed to. It's a building with straight edges so it should be really straightforward. In perspective view I select an edge which is just a single edge running between two vertices.I then press QuickSlice. Then with snap to vertex on, I select both vertices in turn but the slice runs off right around the back of my model in a seemingly random way. I don't get it- I'm following the instructions in the description.

3ds Max Modeling :: Smoothing Errors In Model

Jul 21, 2013

At this present time I would consider myself a high end beginner at 3ds max. 

I am currently trying to model a mech and have been trying to smooth it. I have made progress but I don't know where to take the geometry from here. There are numerous smoothing errors in the model and I understand why they are happening, I just don’t know the right way to fix them. You will understand what I mean if you have a look at the model (I've attached it so you can download it).
 
For example, in the first image you can see an error, if I extended the edges this may get rid of it, but then I get the result in the second image, and it doesn't look right .

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Box Model With Symmetry Turned On

Mar 30, 2011

How do i add a symmetry to my box model in 3dsmax where when i move a vertex,edge,polygon etc on one side the same thing happens on the other side instantly. I've seen this done in zbrush and xsi wondering how i can do this on 3dsmax. I've used the symmetry modifier but the other side does not move when i edit the other.

Maya Modeling :: How To Model A Cloth

Nov 9, 2011

I need to model a cloth in Maya 2012 as a part of a college assignment. I have attached a jpeg of my pre-production artwork, in it you can see the yellow cloth placed on two wooden planks. At the moment I am modelling the cloth by adjusting the vertices, but find it to be a bit tedious. Is there any other way for me get effective results. Since I am a beginner I would like to know the the different ways a little in detail.

I trying to model a mountain whith a spiky look. what its the best method to do it?

things that did not work:

1) Use a displacment map. there is not satellite images in the web. (good quality images)

2) Use Z-Brush. I really dont have time to learn another program.

Actually im trying poly-model technique, starting whit a plane, whith the image as a background, and guessing the perspective.

I'm in the right way?.

3ds Max Modeling :: Model Which Cannot Be Selected / Hidden Or Deleted?

May 6, 2011

I'm using max 2011

I have a model which was originally a SAT file, it was just an extruded profile in the CAD package. When originally imported the part was fine, was selectable etc, but now for some reason this part is non-selectable, won't disappear when you do "hide all" etc but still renders and will still accept material types applied to it ?

3ds Max Modeling :: Tweak / Remodel Existing Model?

Feb 19, 2014

I have recently purchased a 3d model of a car which I need to make 3d print ready for a project. I have come a long way since, getting to know the software and finishing all of the chassis. However, whilst editing parts of the car's bottom side, I noticed that when viewed from this perspective it is badly out of shape. When compared to a real model, one can see that the body is way too narrow in between the tires, making the whole thing kinda look like a bone. I have attached pictures of both, the unedited 3d model I purchased as well as a real model which I know to be very accurate to the real thing, to show you what I mean.

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Model A Box Like Shape With Ripples Over Its Surface

Jun 21, 2012

I'm trying to model a box like shape with ripples over it's surface. The box can have rounded corners and edges. The ripples need to flow over the 6 faces of the box. I want 2 or 3 sets of ripples, originating in different places, interacting with each other.

My modelling skills in Max are not great. I generally use Inventor for modelling and Max for lighting, materials, animation and rendering. I've followed loads of tutorials on ways of doing this, but haven't quite managed it yet.

My latest attempt has been to use the patchdeform tool. What I've done is

1) modelling a plane, with many segments
2) applied the ripple modifier to the plane
3) created a box with smoothed edges/corners
4) converted the box to a patch
5) tried to patchdeform the plane to the box - get 'illegal patch' error

The above work with a sphere rather than a box. I'm not convinced this is the best way to achieve what I want.

3ds Max Modeling :: Acad Loft Command To Model Veins

Jan 7, 2011

I'm going to be creating a 3d visualization for an existing network of gold mining tunnels and ore veins. What I have are scans of 2d hand drawn pages showing mining tunnels and ore veins. There are a couple hundred of these, each representing a 100' thick slice which get progreessively deeper. My intent is to trace these in autocad and stack them up, create solids, import them into 3ds max. One issue is that the ore veins are in some cases continuous from level to level so I'm thinking of using polylines and the loft command to connect the veins between levels.

how to model this efficiently so the import into 3ds max goes smoothly. Or is there an easier way than the acad loft command to model the veins within 3DSMax?

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Model A Flexible Metal Wire Conduit

I am trying to model a flexible metal wire conduit. I was going to use a spring, then I wanted to have it follow a spline, but can't figure out how to do this. I vaguely remember doing something like this in the past but can't remember how I did it. I want to model it as opposed to using maps. It will be a fairly close up rendering.

Maya Modeling :: How To Boolean / Engrave Text Onto Model

Jun 12, 2011

Have a model of a camera that was made out of polys, whats the best way to boolean / engrave text onto the model? i tried tons of things, deleting history before boolean diff, combining the objects then extracting. Result is that it either doesnt work or deletes both my text and my object. I always try to boolean things in my model because i lack experience with creating and applying displacement maps.

How to achieve this using boolean diff or can they suggest what to use as reference to learn how to create displacement maps.
