This was modelled using 3DMax’ s Patch Modelling technique, which I preferred for creating characters to the Box Modelling method. I thought it would conform to the computer games requisite maximum polygon count for a main character of 1000 polygons but it ended up being too high. 
Because I got the first Fox model wrong and concentrated too much on realistic detail, I built another model; took the complete opposite approach and went for stylization, constructed continue reading »

This was modeled from a lighter that I owned, and again it was done by eye. I thought the individual primitive shapes it was composed of were nicely balanced, and blended well together; a good example of retro / modern design.

This was the best hand I’d produced using the box modelling technique in 3DMax. My previous attempts using this approach had a tendency to result in a hand that looked like it was wearing a glove, even with the fingernails and knuckles added, due to the overall profile. With many hours of tweaking the model - a convincing hand can be produced.

This little scene was created, off the cuff so to speak; when I’d become more proficient in 3DMax. At the time I was mainly concerned with making something that could be animated and exploring the programs dynamic effects, i.e. Turbulence,wind

This was my first attempt at modelling in 3D StudioMax when I’d become more competent with the programme. At this point I was still self taught, I’d previously been using mainly Stratavision on the Macintosh continue reading »
