In my last 3ds Max post, I was making a chair and cup! The cup turned out to not really be the type of style my teacher wanted. (well I free styled it without even knowing how to make a cup so I think I did pretty good in that aspect.. yes?) He ended up getting around to show the class how to do the cup properly and how to do several other things; making plates, platters, and bowls! It was pretty amazing because we could make all these different objects from the same object; the cup could be morphed and transformed into bowls and platters. Strange huh?A minor setback I had was the fact that I had to model on a laptop, I usually am perfectly skilled with touch pads. (not trying to sound arrogant, but I've been using a touch pad for 7 years) However, in 3Ds Max a lot of the navigated functions to view the object in 3D space really need a stable mouse to do it properly! Also, the fact that the move tool in the program is the middle mouse bottom..lucky me that touch pads don't have that. I got most of my work done it just took extra long. (well I didn't get to glue the handle to a cup on because I couldn't get the right viewing angle! dumb touch-pad!) to fix this problem I decided to order a decent mouse from online.
Anyways, I was really excited to learn a few new morphing tools and such. I feel like progression is going a bit slow, but I like it that way so I can fully understand and get comfortable around all the tools. My intimidated-ness of 3Ds Max on a 1 to 10 scale has gone from a 7 to a 5 now.. progress? Maybe...
(Pictures will be edited in here soon, just too lazy to open up 3Ds Max.. the lag it causes is to much for me)
