Modding Tutorial 1 - Making Grilles

You can get every version back to 2012 from the Autodesk student website, and it doesn’t matter much what kind of student you are.

is there a chance to see an updated kee exporter for 3dsmax 2015 x64 ?

43

I just got a student license and downloaded 3ds Max 2016, so I guess I can’t export models with it? They only had 64 bit versions of 2014 to 2016 available.

44

Nope, only 32-bit versions from 2010 to 2013 are supported for now. It’s just been discussed on another thread.

45

I cant seem to find anywhere i can download a 2013 version of 3Ds Max, I wanted to make my emblem for my company.

46

You can’t get a new licence for it from Autodesk (only the 30-day trial), so they took it off their main site. You can still download it here:
autodesk.creativevirtual15.com/a … nt%20Desk#

Just go into download links, then 3ds Max, and then to 2013 32-bit at the bottom (if it doesn’t let you scroll at that part, just use the tab key until the right link is selected).

47

although it’s somewhat dead i hope i can still get some help here.
i’m totally new to modelling, as in first time in my life, first tried to learn the basics 3-4weeks ago. so i’m pretty much blind.
SOOOO much confusion and question.

so far
on 7:10, what are you fusing and welding to? is it to the plane?

9:55 i just realised, have you been doing it standing? and not viewed from top?
since i need to pull the Z axis instead of the Y axis. is this a problem or can i just rotate it when i’m finished?

and how the hell does this seemingly fine spline

turn into these

Hi there,
Here it’s my first try on 3DSMax (after watching Daffyflyer’s tutorial), a simple Lancer grille.

Issues;

  • It weighs like hell. I think mainly to the size (I’ve tried to downscale it but Automation started crashing again and again) and…
  • I’ve not removed the triangles.
  • The grille material is too glossy (the material editor is like a nightmare :disappointed:)

There are some minor details but I think that I have them identified (surely I’m being naive :relieved:).
Any suggestion/opinion would be welcome.

PS: Daffyflyer, thanks for the tutorial, 3DSMax if one of my targets.
