3D STUDIO MAX TUTORIAL

- CREATE ROAD OR BRIDGE USING LOFT 

In movie production or exterior design road is most important part of exterior scene. i learn you today how to making road or bridge in 3d studio max software.

SKILL : BEGINNER

Loft modifier is very simple and handy .loft turn 2d shape to 3d as per shape drawing.here  remember that there is two content, a path and a shape.shape is a part which is decide the road or bridge shape its both side corner and carriage way also. you can also give super elevation or one side slope in shape. shape is create basically from

control panel>shape>line

and another part is a path.which is decide how can our shape looking straight or curved.

Well. Let's play with 3d studio max and making some stuff.

 first of all i create a plane as land surface in my front view and go to control panel>shape>line and create road shape with only close line work.and also create a road path with using line. which may be straight or curved alignment (in below image i created road path in curved shape.)now i am going to turn lines into 3d solid with using loft.

first, select shape which is created for road now and go control panel > scroll down standard primitives and select compound object > Loft. select get path from creation method and select path which is we created for road. you can see 2d shape automatically turn into 3d as per path.

We also edit shape and path also from select 2d shape and go to control panel>modify and edit the vertex. same above process for edit path.

Enjoy tutorial :)
