3DS Max: playing catchup

10.10.06

Quick 3DS Max scene

Had some fun this morning. I have a meeting (in a short 45 minutes) with a faculty member and student to discuss and possibly give a brief tutorial on developing 3D shapes. Haven’t used 3DS Max for awhile. Maybe 8-9 months. And then it was version 6, I only installed 7 on my PC yesterday.

But, I surprised myself. Remember more than I thought. And was able to find helpful tips online and in the tutorials book for Max 6, which worked fine. Had about an hour to play catch up, and catch up I did. See the attached image for the little scene I built.

Thanks to BindyEye for the helpful, and free, materials from which I grabbed the water material. (http://www.3dkingdom.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=695)

Oh, and the kicker is, I did this remoting from my Mac to my PC. Gotta love it.

Looks like you’ll be building a metaverse in no time. Nice.
