Week 7 Boolean and Meshes
3D Modelling Tools 2
Last week Storyboards
Planning your model Sketches Resources
2D to 3D Have you started researching yet for
your Model A?
What have you done?
3D Modelling Tools 3
This week Boolean Mesh modelling
Working from a graphic Working with sub-objects
This is the last lecture on pure modelling Only an introduction
Up to you to develop and improve your skills
3D Modelling Tools 4
3D Booleans Powerful sculpting tools Multiple objects Usually destructive
3ds max v7
3D Modelling Tools 5
Union Boolean Union or addition
The intersecting or overlapping portion of the geometry is removed.
3ds max v7
3D Modelling Tools 6
Intersection Boolean Intersection
Where they overlap
3ds max v7
3D Modelling Tools 7
Subtraction Subtraction (or difference)
The Boolean object contains the volume of one original object with the intersection volume subtracted from it

3D Modelling Tools 8
Activity Make a fruit bowl
3D Modelling Tools 9
Using editable poly objects 1 Leave adding any texture maps until your
modelling is finished Meshes can have other meshes attached Meshes can be sliced or cut Smoothed
> Modifiers menu > Mesh Editing > Smooth or > Modifier menu > Object-Space Modifiers >
TurboSmooth Uses NURMS Non-Uniform Rational Mesh Smooth Adds edges Can be turned on whilst modelling in polys
3D Modelling Tools 10
Using editable poly objects 2 Tessellated
Increase the density of faces or edges Split or insert a vertex Caped Bridged Hinged from an edge Extruded Extruded along a spline
3D Modelling Tools 11
Painting Deformations Use a ‘brush’ to deform the surface
E.g. add veins to an arm Work with a terrain
3D Modelling Tools 12
Working with mesh modifiers MultiRes modifier Reduces the
number of polygons
Very useful for low polygon meshes for gaming
Attach your textures after

A problem How to model a mini How do I go about it?
3D Modelling Tools 14
Research – Pictures and sizes Length/width/height: 3.6 x 1.9 x 1.4
meters
MINI Cooper pictures and MINI Cooper videos
3D Modelling Tools 15
Research - How to model? How have other people modelled
something similar? What method has been used here?

More research – using pictures How do you find
out how to model from a pictures?
Remember to include this type of research into your documentation
3ds max v7
3D Modelling Tools 19
Activity Using the pictures of the mini in the
viewport create a block model
3D Modelling Tools 20
Mini Steps 1 Create a box to the right overall size
3.6 x 1.9 x 1.5 meters Set up a viewport background
Calibrate the background image Make the images have the same heights/widths of
the object and centred on the object Make sure that your calibration box is centred on
the origin Create the body
Create a box Convert to a poly Extrude a number of times
3D Modelling Tools 21
Mini Steps 2 Shape the body using vertex, edges
and transform Smooth the mesh Perform MultRes Perform Boolean to make wheel
rims

To come Tutorial on Tuesday
Submit Portfolio 3 Work on Portfolio 4
Due Week 8 Work on research and storyboard for
Model A Due Week 8
Lecture next week Intro to Materials
3D Modelling Tools 23
Portfolio 4 Make a model
of a claw with four fingers and a thumb
3D Modelling Tools 24
Questions You have been asked to model a
mini car for use in a game Describe the steps you would take in
planning the model List at least three sources you could
use to research how to build your model
Discuss and evaluate 3 different methods to model the car, make a recommendation for one
Describe how you would reduce the file size of the mesh
3D Modelling Tools 25
Impendent study Directed reading 3DS Max 7 Bible
Read Chapter 14, 15, 16 and 17 Portfolio 4 Tutorials
Modelling a Claw Modelling an Airplane Lofting a Telephone
