Post 03 - Grunt work

After my poor head model, I decided to devote the weekend to learning as much as I could about 3ds Max. I mainly used a book entitled 3ds Max 9 Essentials by Autodesk (Focal Press, 2007). So far it has proved to be a very good and insightful source of information. I have so far completed all tutorials from pages 189-291. I have taught myself a number of tools, techniques and feel that I have a better rounded understanding of the software. From the book, I have added detail to an engine piece, made shapes from the Lathe modifier and made other shapes using bevel profiles.

The next piece of work I am going to start is a prototype for my final product and start modelling a human figure. However, the book I used is in high demand and as been put on hold by someone else through the library. As a result of this, I will be looking at other sources of information, as well as looking into purchasing this and several other books in this area n order to have uninterrupted reading.
