di ko napansin kaagad, soory

eto iyong Mask Mapping. Located on 3dmax help files


if it still unclear let us know.

eto namn sa rocks, stone and alike
rocks can be generate or form in many diffirent ways

1. Noise modifier
-Create a Sphere


- and apply noise modifier, then adjust your preference


2. Free Form Deformation
- In here i use FFD Cylinder


Go to control points, and select the control points you wish to move.

3. and many more. Poly editing, mesh editing

Eto naman sa contouring ( i hope i dont misinterpreted you queeries, about contouring - terrain)

1. One best method to model the right data of your land contours is to set it on autocad. draw the contour lines you wish to model, and set its elevation via object properties ( control 1 ) one at a time base on the contour data of the site.


Contour data already set ( autocad)


Open 3d Max program, go to file menu then File Link manager, and file link your contour plans, then bind it so you can edit it.


Select now your contour splines, then go to creating and modifying panel, then go to compound object and select terrain, then set your parameters.

But if you can draw it on 3d max, thats fine, create a spline ( close spline), duplicate it if you want and adjust the vertex, Draw until you are sure you already drawn enough lines for your contour.


Then adjust elevation as shown on the image.

Then do the same procedure as before... Compound Object then Terrain.


But if you need to just draw a terrain or something like mountains, ridge etch..... here some procedures..

Create a plane with enough segments, here i used 50m x 50m with 40 segments on each L and W. Then convert it to poly


Convert it to poly, select a vertex you wish to move, go to Soft selection and adjust fall-off amount, see on the image how it was highlighted.


Or use Illusion Catalys if you want found on our free section.
ILLUSION CATALYST



There are some more plug-inns ofor modelling like polybost, dreams cape terrain editor, teragen and more. just goggle them up.

Hope this heps

ser onel slamt ng marami pati ako nakikiview na din sa mga tutorials na post mo GODBLESS po,,,,
