How to Create Holes in Geometry - 3ds Max - Easiest Way

[@deniskovalev3656]

2:52 No need to delete those ngons. When they are both selected you could run Bridge command on them.

[@fatal_laughter]

I came here to learn how to create a hole in my mesh and learned so much more! I live for tips and tricks!

[@neilkadu8745]

0:22 just hold ctrl while drawing a box/plane.... length and width are then always locked.

[@Sailorfrix]

thanks you so much! I've learned more in a video than months of my 3d animation class!

[@geo_tzas]

You have no idea how much did you help me, thank you very much!!! :)

[@DavidWinstead]

Thanks for sharing, I learned a few new things for sure and you gained a new subscriber!!

[@ahmedsamet5871]

while this video is still basic , but i enjoy watching your tutorials, so wish you find job fast so that you never stop uploading videos.... btw , I give 3ds max classes and i always recommend your channel to my students ... keep it up .....

[@NickVanLoon]

this made my day. i left my job to move across the country and it has been very rough. im likely to take a normal labor job just to pay bills. however i really appreciate this, thank you!

[@nussberger]

Well done! I hope you found a good job in the meantime. You certainly rock at teaching.

[@DavidOliveira-jr4rw]

Thanks for this video dude! And also in the minute 3:08 you could be used the border selection (3 shortcut) and then bridge.

[@0231-g6z]

yes i think so

[@Sunrazor]

Excellent! You saved my day for sure.

[@jonathanlong2751]

Good looks bro, love the Jdm car btw

[@unoyoon4011]

Thank you so much for the useful technique. I may have a question? The edges of the parts of the car model are not smoothed despite of the turbosmooth(TS) modifier. (Also I found the shell modifier is not 'under' but 'on' the TS modifier.). How is it possible? (Sorry for my poor English) plz teach me Thanks

[@XxRokuChangxX]

OMG this is so helpful, thanks alot!

[@bernicewang440]

nice tricks, my old method seem so clumsy compare yours, is any cutting tricks can share?

[@CumminsN14DBest]

Please Do A Videos on how to make a ''OVAL'' Shape cut hole On A Plain Mesh, THEN making duplicates & Converting them to a form a Cylinder shape {If You Look At A Kenworth on Peterbilt Truck Exhaust You'll See What I'm Describing] I'm Having Trouble modeling the OVAL & CAPSULE Shaped holes ON THE CYLINDER To Go Round and Round TO MAKE THE a Heat Shield exhaust..Please Help! I'm New To Blender 2.79 doing my best to learn! Thanks

[@NickVanLoon]

hey sorry i never replied. It is very similar to making a circle like in this video, however just deform the points in the hole to be more oval shaped. then you can take that plane with the oval in it and array it into a cylinder. (youtube array in 3ds max, someone has a decent tutorial somewhere) Id make a video but i currently cant.

[@KopeknKedi]

Thanks for sharing this tutorial! It may be one of those basics but it really widens the perspective on how to tackle things different way. I am currently making a rifled musket so the part where you showed us the grooved hole will surely inspire me to do the similar thing. Thanks again and I hope you got a cool job! Btw do you own a lancer? The model sure looks nice, man!

[@NickVanLoon]

Currently jobless but thanks for the thought! Glad it was helpful. I wish i could make more videos right now but im in a rough place. Do not own a lancer but i do have a 09 accord coupe v6 manual lol

[@KopeknKedi]

Too bad you havent found the dream job yet but I'm pretty sure a talented 3d modeler like you will get it someday! Fingers crossed. Cool that you have an Accord. I used to own a 98 civic coupe manual when I was in college but I had to kiss it good bye when I left the states. Do me a favor by making a Civic model someday when you get your job and enough free time! hehe

[@NickVanLoon]

@@KopeknKedi if i get the chance ill make a civic. But im in talks with two big car manufacturers about designing cars.....so fingers crossed

[@KopeknKedi]

I was half kidding with the civic thing but sounds cool, man! I hope you get it or any gaming companies with autos. (does it have to be automobiles?)

[@q12x]

excelent tutorial !

[@eileen8780]

You're amazing. Thank you so much

[@NickVanLoon]

Thank you for supporting the channel :)

[@coacollective691]

When i put a chanfer on the point it makes a diferent strange shape

[@0231-g6z]

dude thank you so much for this video

[@NickVanLoon]

no problem! glad people are finding it useful

[@lakshay678]

how do you do this 6:18?

[@joezhou3639]

may I have a file for the lancer evo? it's so cool

[@felreizmeshinca7459]

Perfect alternative!

[@amiladrck]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@NickVanLoon]

very welcome!

[@ringoze]

Great tips thanks!

[@StopEscape]

Great job

[@morshedaakhtar]

Thank you for your video.

[@faizankhatri1089]

Very nice

Thank you man :)

[@rayunited2010foryou]

+VanLoon3D I hope you have a job now my friend! All the best! Thank you for sharing your tips!

[@NickVanLoon]

unfortunately this last year I have not. I have a few interviews next week however. so fingers crossed I'll be back in 3D

[@brycedsilva1142]

that car model took me by suprise

[@NickVanLoon]

lol yea I should of used it in the thumbnail. Cars are my 3D specialty

[@brycedsilva1142]

@@NickVanLoon if u can model a car with such high detail I believe u can make anything.. would love to know how long it took you to get to such a level of 3d modelling

[@NickVanLoon]

@@brycedsilva1142 Thanks. Id say i can make just about anything in 3ds max besides for people. There really is no short cut, its just modeling every day. when i was in college I would spend at least one hour every day modeling something. Best advice is do 30-60 minute speed models. set a goal (lets say a game prop of some sort) than try to model that object in the time constraint. this forces you to work faster and learn better ways to build in 3ds max.

[@Alapozo]

Texas been working our for you mate?

[@NickVanLoon]

Currently back in michigan teaching at a university. Moving back to texas next october tho

that car is sick...

[@NickVanLoon]

Thanks! working on another one for the humster3D contest. Will be posting a video with a link to the project in a week or two

[@lol3xtrach3353]

damn, it felt really bad when he pulled up his car model. I'm struggling to make a toaster.

[@NickVanLoon]

This made me laugh lol. Everyone starts somewere.

[@karebear7251]

Don't feel bad bud, I've spent the last few hours trying to learn how to punch the center out of a disk and then round or angle off the edges to make a halo. xD Boolean keeps giving me some weird stuff going on, and this interface is very confusing starting out. I just keep in mind I barely knew anything about how to use Photoshop when I started out and now it feels second nature. I think the biggest hurdle is understanding the UI, what everything does, and how to get to the options you're looking for.

[@sameerkhandare8517]

Thank u so much....

[@chuqile]

Thanks m8

[@tadman3d]

Nice car

[@mdomorfaruk2415]

Tnx Bro

[@jinxx.8]

I love you.

[@MrSharp-yg1wb]

It doesn't work... It creates an uneven hole in proportion to its surroundings.

[@Hakuru15]

oh my god thank you, been trying to find an alternative besides boolean!

[@Hakuru15]

@Warren Mateo wtf xD

[@Alapozo]

Boolean is easier

[@NickVanLoon]

Boolean creates bad geometry

[@SpearChuckUngawa]

Did you find a job?

[@NickVanLoon]

I was a architectural animator in austin texas since january. But recently went through hardship and am back in michigan doing freelance 3D

[@conesillyvalley7182]

Small suggestion. When you speak fast, please don't start clicking mouse to do Operations. Explain mouse clicks instead... else the purpose of creating videos will be lost on 90% of the viewers. Because your audience is less expert than you are DUHHHHHH

[@NickVanLoon]

That is the whole reason i made this channel, and focus on explaining each click and thing i do. I am from detroit and naturally do speak faster and try to slow myself down for the videos. Out of my 500k+ views this is my second comment about this. Sorry i speak to fast. Will try to slow down more in future videos
