Join Adam Crespi for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding details by beveling and extruding, part of 3ds Max: Game Prop Creation.
In this video, I'll continue modeling and refining the shipping container, adding…more and more high poly pieces to bake into my normal map.…I'm going to work on the doors, and I'm going to detach this door polygon as a separate object.…I'll select that shipping container, which I've already started to chamfer all…the edges of the framework on,…and I'll go to the Modifier panel and I'll scroll down to the Edit Geometry menu and choose Detach.…In detaching, I have some options of pulling it out as a separate element or…as a separate object.…
Being that I can detach and recombine as needed, I'm going to pull it out as a separate object.…I'll click OK, right-click and choose Top- level and right-click and choose Hide Selection.…Now I can just work on the door.…What I'm going to do is to add in divisions across and then panels.…Then I'll add in the split between the doors themselves.…I'll go By Edge, picking one edge, holding Ctrl, and clicking on the other side.…I'm going to right-click and choose the dialog next to Connect.…
