3d Max Modelling Tips

First topic message reminder :

I will be starting this modelling thread... lagay ko mga modelling tips. And kung may mga request kayo, post nyo lang here. so stay tune lang here

no problem, explore mo lang....some experimenting will do

sakin sir ronel. simple lang rewust ko paano ba makita sa viewport ung inapply na materials?ska paano mag seperate ng layers?thanks

to Owpieh
here it is


when your texture seems to be distorted in your viewport, check these


to separate layer



the foundation in learning 3D Max is found on its HELP FILES. Take time read it or you will miss a lot.

tnx po sir ronel marami salamat

ang galing naman nito sir ronel,,, very useful sa mga baguhan,,, salamat,,

salamat sa tips

i hope theres alot of people like you whos sharibng the knowledge in doing something great...mabuhay kayo and God bless

Sir Ronel.....ask ko lang po kung mayroon kayong tutorials sa pag-model ng sofa na may mga parang butas-butas like dun sa naka-attached na picture.



Salamat sa mga tutorials mo sir ronel......it improves my modeling skills

more tuts po mga sir.. bago lang ako d2. its a long way to go para sakin. astig talaga d2

thanks master onel..!

Anong gagawin sa site plan sir?

Hi render master... sorry mali term kong "site plan", mas suited pala ang "aerial perspective".. May ginagawa kasi ako ngayon na project, although sa ngayon massing lang muna ang buildings pero ung roads pwede ko na medyo i-detail. From Cad to Sketchup medyo nadalian ako pero sa Max hirap ako sa maliliit na detail like sidewalk + curb, parking line, road marks..etc. kaya gusto ko po sana humingi ng tips o advice sa tama or mas mabilis na workflow.. embed ko po dito ung image..

Thank you!

bas ko to ang galing and daming info. thanks for sweating with this onel. and also thanks for your input roy...

The Many Faces of 3d Max Modelling ( Cad Plan to Max Modelling )

A. Through AEC Method.

1. Here is my autocad plan for a simple house. This portion will focused on 3D Max AEC extended. For Autocad, i will bring that option on Autocad Software Thread.


2. I would use File Link Manager so in the future, i can update it eventually when there are some plan revisions.


3. The autocad plan im using is in millimeter and my 3d max is in meter, in this case i will hit rescale.


4. And this is now the output.


5. Since the plan is well layered from autocad, all layers will automatically be in 3dMax, and if i want to off some layer i will just turn it off on 3dmax layer dialog box. Although you can do on the file link procedure, you can choose which layer you want to use.


6. Now the preparation is almost complete, let us now set 3dMax on modelling. For a precise modelling, you need to use some important tools. Let us now use the snap. If the snaps toolbar is not yet activated on your menu see this image for procedures.


7. On using snaps tools, there are some things to remember.


8. The next steps will explain further the usage of these snaps.



As you rotate the viewport, you will notice that the line you created was just lie on the grid 0,0 of the z axis.




9. Now let us leave that matter for the meantime. Activate 2d Snaps toggle and the vertex toggle. On Creating Panel, choose AEC Extended and set the parameters accordingly.


10. Maximize perspective viewport.


11. Then start creating your wall.


12. When you reached the last point accept yes to weld to weld points.


And now, you have a clean wall for your model.

... to be continued ....

B. Doors and Windows ( AEC )

1. And now to create a Door and Windows - we will use the 3D Max AEC Components. Maximized Top viewport where you want to make your window. Activate AEC on Creating and Modifying panel and select Windows ( preferably Sliding Windows),
you may activate 2d Snaps plus vertex snap toggle,

Then drag to the window portion of the wall as seen on the plan. Dont worry about the preliminary sizes, you can adjust it later

2. Then move it according to your preffered windows sill height.


3. There some cases that AEC Components is not properly link to the wall, you will notice and see it when the window if properly positioned is partially not seen and was covered up by the wall. To avoid this, select your window, go to the main toolbar and press Select and Link Icon, the cursor icon will change as seen on the image. Drag now the windows to the AEC wall. The windows will now stick to the wall.





4. By exploring windows different profile, you can create different windows design out of it.


5. Do the same procedure for the door. but this time use Door AEC Component instead. Adjust to your prefered design








6. Complete all windows and doors as indicated on the plan
