What you'll learn

  • Follow a reference image and recreate it in Max.
  • Model hard surface objects .
  • Modeling physically simulated cloth and leather objects.
  • Use procedural materials to quickly render your model.

Course content

1 section • 5 lectures • 1h 5m total length

  • 1. Modeling - Part 17:18

    Model a chair in 3ds Max with a practical workflow: start with blocks, use symmetry and angle snap, bevel and extrude, apply modifiers, then explore smooth, tessellate, and normalize spline techniques.

  • 2. Modeling - Part 27:48

    Iterate on furniture modeling by adjusting loops, looping and manual corrections to shape edges. Apply turbosmooth, brush controls, directional expand, and selective extrusion to build organic folds and detailing.

  • 3. Modeling - Part 313:19

    This modeling walkthrough teaches chair construction using splines, extrude, and non-destructive workflow with fill, copy, symmetry, edit spline, soft selection, weld, volume select, and push to refine the form.

  • 4. Modeling - Part 414:39

    Learn practical 3ds Max chair modeling: add loops for smooth subdivision, preserve edges with crease, and refine with the Versace script, align pivot, and FFD/retopology tweaks.

  • 5. Rendering22:37

    Render a chair in a V-Ray workflow using leather and metal materials, a dome light, texture maps, and a shadow capture plane with HDR rotation for varied lighting.

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of navigating and modeling in Max.

Description

Welcome to Fast Furniture Modeling in 3ds Max — a free, beginner-friendly course designed to help you create beautiful, production-ready 3D furniture quickly and efficiently. In this course, you’ll model a detailed modern chair from start to finish, learning the same core techniques professionals use to achieve clean topology, realistic proportions, and presentation-ready results — without unnecessary complexity.

Using only 3ds Max and V-Ray, you’ll discover how to work smarter, not harder. You’ll learn how to use splines, modifiers, and snapping tools to streamline modeling, how to apply procedural materials for realistic renders, and how to avoid common beginner mistakes that waste time and ruin geometry. Every step is explained clearly and logically, making this course perfect for both complete beginners and experienced artists looking to refine their workflow.

This course emphasizes speed, ease, and accessibility — showing that professional-quality 3D modeling doesn’t need to be complicated. You’ll gain confidence in creating assets that are lightweight, clean, and visually appealing for architectural visualization and other applications.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only have a fully modeled and rendered chair — you’ll also have the essential skills and mindset to design and build your own 3D furniture quickly and effectively. After completing this course, you will be ready to proceed to the full course and learn even more modeling and rendering tips and techniques.

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners, intermediate, and advanced users who want to learn more tips and tricks in Max for furniture modeling.
