Modeling a childs tricycle  
Written by Richard  
Category Autodesk 3ds Max - Modeling  
Saturday, 18 May 2013
In this new 3d Studio Max tutorial, we are going to create a childs tricycle. This is going to give us lots of practice with such things as the Loft modifier, Boolean operations, and much more besides. Before we begin though, it is extremely important to visualize what the end result will look like. You can try drawing a simple sketch, or looking on the net for some good resource images. Just have a set idea in mind before you start. Also, it is important to know the perspective of the finished toy you want. There is no point modeling objects that will never be seen in the final render, unless you are going to animate it as well. For example, in this tutorial Im not going to model underneath the seat, as in the final render I have visualized, this wont be in view. Follow the below link for more details....
