In this tutorial, you will model a building with a distinctly organic design. Specially developed modifiers in 3ds Max Design make this task far easier than if you were to attempt it in a conventional CAD program.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
- Create simple geometry.
- Use the Twist, Taper, and FFD modifiers to alter geometry.
- Use polygon selection and editing techniques.
- Clone objects.
- Chamfer edges.
- Assign materials to objects.
