Making of The Crates

Make The 3D crate.
So we start to build the crate in 3d. Its all pretty basic bud i show some basic progression that i used in the project. First you just build a box and convert it to an editable poly. Than select the 2 edges on the upper side and use them to an editable poly. Than select the 2 edges on the upper side and use the connect tool. Set it to 2 so that you can use the polygons separately.

When youve done that you can extrude the polygons as shown in the picture below. Than delete out one side as shown in the picture on the right….

Weld the segments together so you get the situation as shown below. Now the box has a grip for the crate. Finally extrude one more time and you have the sides.

For all the other modeling you don’t really need this tutorial. Its just boxes. In the corners there are triangle pieces and you create them by making a cilinder with 3 sides. Everything is very low poly now, which is easy for the texturing that is about to come. The final piece is shown below.

This is the final model and on the right you see the textured version. This is where we are going next. So lets try to texture the crate know.
