BOX MODELING FOR BEGINNERS 3ds MAX

“Box modeling for beginners ” by Magic Wand

Use the same method for window glasses also.

Select the polygons shown in the picture for creating a bumper and Extrude them using “local normal” to 1.5 units
Now is the time for Creating wheel arches, back dickey. We will use the Boolean Compound Object here. For that we will create 4 cylinders for wheel arches and a box modified using Editable Polygon method, as the dickey which I shown in the picture.

For Boolean we will use a trick. We will attach four cylinders and the dickey object together from “Edit Geometry>attach” because after this Max will consider it as a single object and we can use the Boolean operation only once

I used some Tubes and splines to modify the SUV like this..its upto to you.

Its almost finished, we are going to make a Tyre . From a Chamfer Cylinder and an Extruded NGon, we can make it very easily like this

    I´m really a beginner and just learning to understand how this programm works. I don´t understand how you how you managed to add another segment to an excisting editable poly like you did in the last picture from page 2 to create the difference in hight on the roof. I thougt you did it by cloning and spliting the segment behind to windows, but when I do this, and move it, I deform the whole car. Please explain.
