3Ds Max Game Modeling: Create Game Assets in 3Ds Max

In this 3ds Max beginner course you will learn all the necessary tools to create several different 3D models like walls, desks, and other hard surface models you can think of. We will take a look into different modelling techniques like:

• spline modelling 

• polygon modelling

• box modelling with simple shapes

 We will take a deeper look into UV unwrapping so we can texture our 3D models rather simple.

 We will also take a quick look into how to create a simple texture Atlas, and how to get some free textures for our models.

 Also we gonna take a look at normal maps and how to get them for free over another website.

Full content list:

Settings in 3DS Max

• saving correctly

• setting up measurements

• setting up projects

Modelling techniques

• spline modelling 

• polygon modelling

• box modelling with simple shapes

• polygon reduction

• mesh optimisation

• snapping tools

Unwrapping techniques

• flatten mapping

• relaxing

• stitching

• UV layout

 2D content

• texture research

• normal maps

• texture Atlas creation

• importing and using

 Exporting models as fbx for game engines like:

• Unity game engine

• Unreal Engine

• and many more...

 Software i'm using:

• 3DS Max 2018 - Student Version can be downloaded at Autodesk Website

• Unity game engine (optional)

• Inkscape (free) - you can also use Photoshop or any other decent Graphics software.

Course Material

I provide the textures which I'm using in the course, but you should get your own, for a unique look later.

 Conclusion

 At the end of the course you will have a good portfolio of about 20 ( or even more ) 3D models, you can bring into a game engine and build a building or rooms just with that 20 3D models.

Challenge

After you have created nice 3D Models and maybe additional content, you can create your own games with them or sell them in one of the 3D Stores, if they are good enough.

So what are you waiting for?

Let's make your dream game a reality!!
