From Zero to Hero - Exterior modeling!

[@tami_boo]

Thank you so much for this amazingly useful tutorial! Unfortunately, the parts about scattering and lights setup are not for beginners, hope you will have time and desire to make an additional webinar on those subjects! Would be so happy to follow them!

I came to refresh my knowledge of 3ds Max. It was the first software I learned during my university days. A while back, I switched to Blender and have become very accustomed to it. I recently got a new job that requires me to work in 3ds Max. No hate towards 3ds Max, it is is a great piece of software, but I find it significantly slower compared to modeling the same thing in Blender, especially with all the Edit Poly thing. It feels quite clunky, and switching back to 3ds Max is a real struggle. Thank you for the tutorial, though!

[@L3nny666]

here some causes, that increase render times and some quick tips how to get rid of them: - vray displacement mod / displacement in 3D mode (use displacement only if neccessary in foreground and in 2D mode) - high res textures (8k or 4k is not neccessary in a lot of cases) - lowered blur value < 1.0 on texture maps (sharper textures, but longer render trimes) - fog (use aerial perspective instead of environment fog, don't scatter GI) - scattered items / vegetation (especially if high poly objects with high res textures are scattered) - glass (turn off backside reflection and lower material depth) - high render quality settings (don't go over 16 subdivs) - HDRI dome lights with high res HDRI maps (use built in sky system from vray or corona if possible) - not enough light in interior scene (put more light sources) - high image res (don't go over 4000px on the longest side) - make sure, your hardware is good: min. 64gb RAM, 16 core CPU with GOOD cooling...no laptop

Thank you very much for the master class!!!

[@ceciliasanchezpena4866]

Thanks you so much for all your work ! Thanks for share all this knowledge ! Unfortunately, I can't get the shape of the frame to fit, and the shape I apply is disjointed at the joints of the frames. I did the test like you in the simple frame, a rectangle, and it works. The problem is that the vertices of my line that we take out of the facade are not connected to each other, they have the shape obviously, but I can't connect them using solder, refine+connect, CrossInsert or any other way. I would appreciate your help please. Thank you very much for everything again. It's a pleasure to have people like you in the world.

While moving the edge/face/vertex, tap on S to activate the Snap tool. If you want it to stay constraint to an axis, you have to go to your Snap option (right click on the snap button), then go to option > translation > enable axis constraint.

sir when i draw a plan then convert it to editable poly & select edges the shape doesnt devide these edges where i am stopping it gives me one edge so i have to use quickslice plan to have my lines for the walls, window etc & it take a lot of time so how can i solve this

[@VizAcademyUK]

Try using the same tools used in the video, for example ALT + 1 (swift loop)

[@SplishSplashdash]

It would be extremely helpful if you talked about what you are doing as opposed to addressing computer specs during some complicated parts that require shortcut keys! Great video still but as people have said, they've had to search for how to do things you're doing.

Thanks for the review, will focus on that even more.

I CAN DRAW A BUILDING ON THIS SOFTWARE.... IF IT IS SO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING REVIT AND 3DS MAX

[@VizAcademyUK]

Revit is CAD'like software that has limited range of options when it comes to modeling and rendering and its specifically designed to aid Engineers and Architects, while 3ds Max has almost unlimited modeling capabilities that anybody can take advantage of for the creative porpoises.

hello i wanted to ask how do you pull a ploygon up like that at 1:03:40 becuase everytime i try to do it it pulls up other polygons too with it notice : when i try to pull it up while holding shift it creates a copy of that polygon it doesnt pull it up and when i pull up without shift everything pulls up

Hello, you must be using an older version of 3ds Max, this functionality was introduced in 3ds Max 2021 service packs, and its part of the default functionality ever since.
