Draw Spline

create splines, attach/merge vertices and apply surface modifier...look at the rhino tutorial provided with 3dsmax...

oh.. ok... different types have to use different ways... right? for example if we want to make a cup from a line, we use lathe, and if make a box from a plane, we use extrude... right?

aiks.... i really the noob... how to change the materials of the object i created instead of the plain default color in the 3dmax?

Press M

yada yada

u should try to read the help file.... it got every little basic things u wanna know.... (just type what u wanna know on "search", like, material, reactor, mental ray... etc...)
remember, "F1 is ur friend...."

Anyone here uses Newtek Lightwave to create 3D object?

i did... why?

Wow, great work on 3DS object []

Our efforts in 3D Art has been owned badly by http://www.minastirith-project.com/

I see that they were trying to re-create something that have been created. Where's the creativity???

OMG .... u guys sure are good ... always thinking to draw some 3D things but ... just dunno how to start and use those programs ... they are so hard like asking me to operate an aeroplane ... perhaps im just too useless though ....

urm.. those transports dun really look like transports.. but good on the buildings though..

I ran out of polys.. so, I ganti with low poly models

My BMW with Wide kit.Still W.I.P.
