Unwrap and set up UVs in 3ds Max 2017 using quick peel and edge-to-seam workflows, then align, fit, and pack the UV layout for efficient textures.

Bake ambient occlusion maps in 3ds Max for a gun model, using smoothing groups, turbo smooth, render to texture, and apply the AO bitmap to enhance depth and shadows.

Model a retro sci‑fi robot head in 3ds Max by building the mouth grill, extruding polygons, mirroring parts, then refine with turbo smooth, soft selection, and rounded eye edges.

Explore retro sci fi robot design in 3ds Max by modeling a toy-inspired figure, mirroring one side to complete the symmetrical body, and refining with inset and shell techniques.

Build a grill in 3ds Max by deleting back faces, locking borders, mirroring parts, and shelling the inner thickness for realistic see-through plastic.

Learn to model eyebrows and a nose in 3ds Max by creating planes, converting to editable poly, extruding, beveling, welding edges, and adding bolt details with spheres.

Model the eye in 3ds Max for games and film by forming the eye socket and bulb, adding caps and loops, then refine with smoothing groups and turbo smooth.

Create a metallic toy model in 3ds Max by starting with a sphere, refining with hemisphere edits and border tool loops, then use non-uniform and uniform scaling and mirroring.

Hide extraneous geometry, create a 20 by 20 box, apply bevel and turbo smooth, and refine edges with loops, non-uniform scaling, and soft selection to shape the form.

Model a robot in 3ds Max for games and film by reusing head parts to form body and legs, and detailing eyes and shoes with edge extrude and swift loop.

Using 3ds Max, create eye bulbs and a brain case shell with an interior for transparent rendering, applying a shiny glass material to simulate refraction.

Learn to model a body peripheral in 3ds Max for games and film, using cylinders or spheres, smoothing groups, bevels, welding, and mirror/attach workflows for a low-poly result.

In this 3ds Max tutorial, learn to create back dials and seam edges by extruding and scaling, adjust placement, and see how the model looks with plastic shading.

Reuse the body mesh in 3ds Max to build the leg by shaping edges, duplicating and mirroring parts, and welding vertices for a clean, well integrated result.

Learn to model a shoe in 3ds Max by refining the toe, creating a divot, extruding and beveling edges, shaping the sole, and finishing with turbo smooth and color-coded wireframes.

Finalize a 3ds Max game and film character by adding a leg joint piston and gears, plus a glowing brain interior, then UV map, ambient occlusion, color map, and render.

Finish building a robot model in 3ds Max 2017 by adjusting pivots and snapping to polygons, unwrapping the model, baking ambient occlusion, and applying textures.
