Volumes and Surfaces.

On the  21st of April we learned to build different shapes using several commands.

Using pline command we drew the shape and extruded it normally, perpendicularly to the plan.

We drew an inclined line towards the plan and extruded the shape choosing Direction.

Then we drew a circle and an inclined curved line (command spline) and extruded choosing Path.

We can make extrusion -choosing taper angle.

We built a cylinder by extruding a circle. It was solid. To make it empty inside, we made another cylinder by extruding a smaller circle, fitted it to the first cylinder and substracted.
 And decreased the transparency of their layer.

Another substraction between cylinders.

We can fill the different polygons with the tool region  and use substraction command.


After building the "construction" for the new surface, we used the command: Edgesurf .

We can Thicken it.

To create a loft  we drew three different circles with different heights and use command: Loft.
 We can create a Section.

After exploding the loft we can thicken it. We can manage the direction of that operation with the sign in front of the number (- , + )

 We can create different lofts with different shapes.

If we cover two same lofts with the boxes and substract them separately, we can see the inner side of the lofts and these parts can fit each other and be presented in different colours.

Polyhedrons - How they match

On 31st of March  class we created  different polyhedrons. Each polyhedron has a matching geometrical figure. We tried to find matches for each shape and used several different tools. Dodecahedron Dodecahedron consists of 12 pentagons. So, at first we created pentagons. And using circles and lines we found their meeting point. Then, we 3Drotated them.  After one of them was rotated we used 3Darray.                                                                                                                                                                  ...

Animation with Letters - 3Ds Max

For creating an animation with letters, we went through several steps: creating letters, giving them material, setting lighting and camera, adding sounds. For creating letters MVTA we used Text tool , Extruded them to give volume and using Bevel tool, we changed the edges of the letters and made them more round and soft. We used Material Editor, to create and give the letters desired texture. After finishing designing letters, we moved to animation. After adjusting the frame editor we turned on the Auto button to begin creating movements. We placed the camera on the first position and after moving the time slider on the needed frame, we relocated the camera.The second step in our animation was the R otation of the letters and the final one- moving the light horizontally, from West to the East. Finally we added 2 sounds. In my video , first sound (rain drops) follows the full lenght of the video and the second one (thunder) appears in the moment when the light moves to create an effe...
