View 3 Replies View Related3ds Max Modeling :: Lofting With 3 Splines In 3 Dimensions?
Oct 15, 2013I have 3 scientific waveforms, made into splines , from X,Y and Z data. Basically 3 long wiggly lines.
I wish to visualise the data by modulating a spheres surface in 3 dimensions so that the X data creates wave on the surface of the sphere running along the x-axis , the Y data along the Y axis and the Z along the Z axis. All the data (splines) will interfere and modulate with each other across the surface.
I have spent a couple of days looking at nurbs and lofting but cannot even get close to this. They all only allow splines in 2 dimensions to interact and nurbs cannot cope with the data volume anyway.
ps i can obviously extrude the 1d data or lathe the data but each only makes 1 or 2d surface interaction. The attatched pic is each one of the data splines made into a sphere using a 180 bend and lathe. This isnt exactly how id ideally have it. I need all three joined into one shape.
3ds Max Modeling :: Create A Surface Between 2 Splines?
Mar 10, 2011I'm trying to create a surface between 2 splines. See attached image. I normally do this in AutoCAD very easily but I I'm playing around with the Max modeling tools.
I have tried drawing a spline between them and using loft. But the loft surface does not go between the two splines.
I have tried drawing a spline between them, converted them to nurbs and tried a number of the nurb surface options such as 2 rail and ruled. But they both create a surface but the surface does not go the full length of the splines.
3ds Max Modeling :: Multiple Splines To Individual Objects?
Oct 24, 2011Is there a way (script possibly) to break multiple splines to individual spline objects? More specifically i want to find a quick way, when i have many splines (attached together) to make each spline (spline element) a separate spline (such as selecting it and detaching it). Unfortunately the "explode" command breaks each segment and not spline to an individual object, while selecting and detaching each one is not an option since i have to deal with hundreds or thousands of splines (produces by hair & fur).

3ds Max Modeling :: Render Splines As Pipes - Setting Radial Thickness
Mar 28, 2012I have a few splines where I have set a radial thickness, to render them as pipes.
I scaled them, and now the thickness values are no longer correct for any scaled line. Lofting or sweeping a circle shape along them makes no difference, as if the lines themself bear the scaling information.
If I create a new line, everything is ok. Is there a way to reset a line?

3ds Max Modeling :: Snap To A Surface Of Other Object
Jul 20, 2012I am trying to do a simple retopo modelling. In many other soft you only need to turn on snapping to get your retopo model vertexes/edges following a surface of a hi-res reference object.
Seems I can't do so in Max because it tend to snap to faces of the same object I am working on.
Is it possible somehow to snap to faces of other objects only so the currently edited object faces would be completely ignored/excluded/invisible for snapping?

Aug 6, 2013I was creating a gun on 3DS and everything was fine, I started with an horizontal Cylinder but since I wasn't happy with the final result I wanted to restart.
Now when I create that Cylinder again it's created vertically, not horizontally, probably I pressed something that I didn't want to, I want every object to be created in an horizontally way, how can I do that?
PS: I don't want to use any modifiers and/or mirrors, I just want every object to be created horizontally!
3ds Max Modeling :: Automatically Mirror Object?
Feb 6, 2014I wanted to start learning how to use 3DSMax by first making a sword model that could later be used for a game like Skyrim. But rather than making some simplistic, blocky sword, I wanted to jump to something more complicated to speed up the learning curve.
I was editing existing models in Blender before, so I already know more or less how to operate a program like this, and everything else can be covered with tutorials. But there's one thing I can't find a tutorial for...
Let me explain it on an example. I want to make a model of this sword:
[URL]
The idea is that it's symmetrical and identical on both sides. I saw somewhere a video where a guy was somehow creating a model, and while he was working on one half, the other half was automatically updating and creating a perfectly symmetrical shape.
For this sword, I would be basically making only 1/4 of the sword, while the rest would be appropriately placed mirrors. I want this process of mirroring to happen automatically. How do I do that?
