Box Modeling Tutorial Series for 3DSMax and PV3D

By C4RL05

Mike Lively has completed his outstanding Box Modeling Tutorial Series for 3DSMax and Papervision3D.

The Box Modeling technique is great for creating all kinds of low poly models for PV3D. Easy to learn and quick to perform, it can be used with any poly-modeling software.

In this tutorial you will learn how to model a jet plane with 3DS Max and fly it around in ActionScript.

Thanks Mike!

    [...] Como parte dos preparativos para ministrar da melhor maneira possível a disciplina, estou fazendo muitas pesquisas e anotações na documentação oficial do Papervision 3d e também nos tutoriais que encontro pela web. Um desses tutoriais pode ajudar a explicar melhor o processo de criação com essas ferramentas, ele mostra como é possível integrar o 3ds max com o Papervision 3d na animação de um avião em lowpoly.

    Those were the best basic tutorials I’ve seen. Very clear, basic, and most of all, well instructed.
    The only question I have concerns the Key shortcuts, where may I provide myself a copy of what you had on Word?

    This is the tutorial that all those would-be 3D artists just starting out should watch.

    The shortcuts should be learned right from the start so you do not get into the time consuming habit of using the menus.

    These tutorials are the best I’ve seen on the net. The keyboard shortcuts are especially useful and save LOADS of time. I would say they are a must for anyone starting out.
