Lesson 3 _Solids

Open a acadiso.dwt template file 


Used these comands: PLINE, 3DORBIT, HIDE, REVSURF (SURFTAB), 3DMIRROR, SHADE, EXTRUDE, BOX, 3DMIRROR, 3DROTATE, ARRAY, ALIGN. 


 With these comands we were abre to create various platonic solids, such as: tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron. 

 The process is basically the same for all of them, however with more/different faces which need to be joined. 
At first we need to draw a vertical line down the center of the first face, and a circumference that will touch the tangent on the vertex. We eill then rotate such circumference to become perpendicular to the face that will be folded. 
The process is repeated.

MODELING A LAMP Explanation of menus, how to create a shape and modify it using the 3D Max modifying tools. How to use the clipping tool to move the objects and move set objects along a specific axis,  SUBTRACT, BOOLEAN OPERATIONS.  COMPOUND OBJECTS INTERACT with different shapes.  Modify - TAPER, gizmo (concave and convex) Modify - STRETCH Modify - NOISE Each object becomes a different layer.  menus add a shape - cylinder taurous subtract taper and add flame adding noise  to flame revolve along and axis (drawing a line) how to stretch adding a table

Lesson 8_3DSMAX

ADDING A SURROUNDING SCENE, MATERIALS, AND TEXTURES  Using the lamp modeled in the previous class, we started to work on the image surroundings. We added a table, floor, and walls to create a compositional rendered image.  Using what we had learned in the previous class we used the box tool to add these new objects   Each object becomes a different layer.  We were then introduced to the material editor. This is where we are able to apply materials and textures to the objects created. Images are added as "bitmaps" in the diffuse colour map. Meaning that image would appear planned on to the surface of the object.  In order to achieve a more realistic render, there are various variants in which we can change inside the material we are creating. Aspects such as glossiness, specular and refraction levels can be changed.  We are also able to add other maps into the material editor, such as bump and normal maps to add a 3d quality to the...

MAKING AN ANIMATION   The first step was to use the TEXT tool, and the EXTRUDE tool to give it a third dimension.  We also learned how to use the BEVEL tool to also give it a third dimension, however with rounded corners
