Author: Daniel Kreimer Polygonal modeling excels at low detail or architectural models. Because polygonal models are made up of faces, you will find that they are very easy to edit and animate when you are working on a relatively low-detail model. Patch modeling is for smooth models being built from the foundation outward. Patch modeling works by attaching small grids, called patches, which are based on Bezier spline technology. This provides for...more

Author: Daniel KreimerBecause NURBS can actually incorporate simple shapes to build complex geometry, there are some handy techniques that you can use when you are building NURBS objects. When using Point curves, you can reduce the overall amount of computing resources taken up by the model by keeping the number of points relatively low. In other words, do not add any extra points if the shape does not need it. Like splines, however, NURBS curves need extra points if you need more detail. The curves will not render smoothly unless you add points to them. It is not until a NURBS curve becomes a surface does it actually render smoothly-as part of the surface instead of an independent spline. Remember that you can convert normal Bezier splines into NURBS curves by using the attachment method. However, most attached splines require that you use the Join command to connect all the broken points. When starting out with or eventually working with complex NURBS surfaces, you will find that it is best to work one section at a time. Complex NURBS models tend to slow MAX down quite a bit. There is no way around this except to hide sections of the model that you are not working on. After you...more
We should all get three to five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. When you really want to get the benefits of fruit, you should eat the healthiest fruit available: the goji berry. Goji berries have been eaten for hundreds of years in China to combat aging and to promote adept health. These berries have more recently become available for...more
Author: Daniel Kreimer All the standard primitives can be converted into NURBS surfaces by going to the Modify panel, clicking the Edit Stack button and choosing Convert to NURBS Surface. This only works if no modifiers have been applied to the primitive. If you can dream it, you can build it using NURBS. The primary benefit of the NURBS method is...more
Author: Marlon JacksonIn industry it’s important to be efficient, and although it may sound strange water is important for many purposes. Not only is water power efficient but it’s also highly effective for the purpose of cutting a number of materials. Water jet cutting may seem simple, but it’s actually a very advanced technology that has great benefits in art and industry. Cutting with water is a process that is exactly as it sounds. Regular tap water is pressurized to extremely high levels then shot through a small nozzle to create a stream that is tough enough to cut through some of the hardest and most durable surfaces. A water jet can be used to cut through sheets of aluminum and some types of glass and stone. Sometimes an abrasive material is added to the water to help cut tougher materials. Pure water is often used in factories to cut more delicate materials such as food, rubber and foam. In addition to being widely available, water has other benefits for being used as a tool. Water jets are often used to cut glass and stone for building materials because they allow for more intricate cuts than typical machinery. This process is very useful for...more
