3ds Max Modeling :: How To Create Circular Shaped Elevator With Circular Fence
Feb 25, 2013
I'm working on a UDK level for a college assignment.
I want to create a circular shaped elevator with a circular fence around it that's roughly half the size of an average sized character standing on it. I then wish it import this as a static mesh into UDK.
Here are 2 sketched up designs of the elevator, what I want to create.

I am very new to 3DS Max so I would prefer a list of steps to follow to create this elevator with a a fence,
The problem: I want a circular pattern for rectangular shaped holes, and I don't want the holes to rotate. The circular pattern doesn't have an option to retain the orientation.
How to create these thick/thin lines like in the atom illustration I've added here: Â I need to create arrowheads (two) as well on each circular shape, so that's why I'm trying to figure out a technique of doing this through the use of the LINE tool (for easy addition of the arrowheads, obviously).
I would like to represent light pulses with circular polarization. I need to reproduce something like in the attachment figure, but I don't know which deformation I should apply and to which polygon (cylinder, helix..).
I created a 12-sided polygon shape in the sketch mode. I created one line, fully constrained it and then used the circular pattern to finish the shape. Â Why can't I extrude the shape?
I have attached the file. Â It's a pretty basic shape. Â I don't understand why it wouldn't work...
I created a reception desk in Revit 2013 using solid extrusions and void extrusions and it looks really good. The problem is I need to recreate this thing using some other method since I cannot place door and drawer faces on a plane that technically, geometrically does not exist, ie the area a receptionist would sit. The rendering of my extruded desk is attached.
This is something I recently wanted to do, but found that the clipping in Edge Animate only allows us to make a square or rectangle shape. I'm pretty disappointed by this because technically you can make a circular, or elliptical, clip shape using HTML5 and CSS3. Also, the same is true for masks. I would love to see this as a future update in Edge Animate because I can see a few more instances where I would want to use clipping, or masking, in this way.
How to create a Circular Pattern of the Solid Object by VBA. I tried it by calculation Polar Transformations but was unsuccessful.
Then Rotated the complete Solid Object which changed original location. Is there any way i can Change the Angle and Mirror instead of Making circular pattern.
I would like to create a colored circular text using File > Create > Logo > Circular text ... but everytime I try, the circular text is displayed in black ... ! How can I change this and choose the color for the circular text ?
my create a circular pattern in an assembly that maintains the orientation of the part being patterned.
This is for foundation plates. There are 3 plates. The plates are square, and have bolt holes in the corners of the plates. Since there are 3 plates and its going around a circle, the angle between the plates is 120 degrees.
Now, Ive been trying this for some time now and what is happening is the firs plate is fine, but then the second and third plate are rotated around their center axis. I would like it to simply remain as inserted and constrained within the assembly.
I have attached a picture to be more clear about what I want and what I'm currently getting.
API enhancement/fix in SP1: Cannot create a radius dimension on circular drawing curves projected from spline edges.Does it in some way trying to refer to the issue with nonplanar arcs turning into splines in drawings saved-as AutoCAD .DWG?
i want to create a circular frame around a square picture, cutting off the corners in the process in order to almost fill the circle. i tried to do this with a layer mask by drawing a black circle and using a transparent brush, however i found it quite difficult to acheive this accurately. is there a more accurate method i could use to do this?
basically designing a CD on photoshop and want to have writing around the edges of the CD...how would I do this? can't seem warp it into a perfect circle...
i tried to use polar coordinates, but as you get to the outer part of the circle, you see that the picture spreads and you get that blur to it. i want to know how you make it go out from the center and not get that side effect.
Most seem to be for versions earlier than CS6, or they omit an important step or mention some function I can't find.I'm creating a state seal, with a blue band around the design. Inside the circular blue band, I'd like to type the words "Great Seal of" at the top and "Washington State" at the bottom. But I actually need two separate sets of text, because I don't want "Washington State" to be upside down.
I have a few photos which I want to add a radial (circular) gradient to. I want them to show the middle portion of the photo (full opacity) and then have them go to zero opacity on the edges in a circular manner (basically fade to white). I have a background layer which is white.  I am sure this is fairly simple, but I can't figure it out....
I'm getting weird results after resizing a simple circular icon in Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X 10.8. Â I'm resizing from 128 px to 60 px. Â The final icon is not totally circular: it has some excrescences on four sides. Â Tried every possible resampling modes. Â Resizing the sime icon in Preview gives perfect results. Â Here's the examples: Â Original icon: [URL].... Â Resized in Photoshop: [URL].... Â Resized in Preview: [URL].... Â why it happens?
In CS2 I cannot work out how to do this with the lettering to stay the correct way up. Can anybody please enlighten me? I'm not fussed about the circle, nor the centre text - just the part that reads "Isle of Wight C.C. Licences" ....
i tried to crop a circle of 55mm diameter out from a photo of 5mp resolution. however, the resulting resolution was very poor ( less than 200px X 1xx px ). how do i retain the resolution without sacrificing loss in quality/resolution? i used the marquee tool to make the selection ( holding shift to make it full circle ).
i'm having trouble fitting a particular picture into a frame. I got a picture of Floyd Mayweather Jr (BOXER), but i cant fit the whole pic into the frame because of the circular part above (see attachments below). I'm trying to make a DVD cover pic.
