Join Scott Onstott for an in-depth discussion in this video Attaching versus grouping, part of 3ds Max: Design Visualization.
- In this video, we're going to explore…the differences between attaching and grouping.…Open the Apartment10 exercise file,…and let's zoom in down here by this custom window.…I'd like to make a table and chair,…and I'll start by going to the Extended Primitives…category here,…and make a ChamferBox.…ChamferBox is like a box,…except there's one more parameter,…and that is this Fillet parameter…that allows you to curve the edges.…
So, make one sort of like I did here, roughly,…and then go back over in the Parameters rollout…and highlight the Length and type 16,…press Tab, 16 again for Width.…Tab, height 1,…and the Fillet will be a small value.…Let's change this spinner, I'll…click and drag up or down here…to alter the spinner.…And I'm going to just…give a little bit of curveature…so it doesn't look so harsh,…let's say 1/8 of an inch.…
Okay, now I'm going to give this a different color,…let's say green.…And lets rename this object, Chair001.…So this is the seat of the chair,…I'm going to move that up…in the z direction to chair height,…

8/5/2015In this course, author Scott Onstott shows you how to build walls, doors, windows, stairs, railings, moldings, cloth, pottery, furniture, grass, trees, landscapes, and much more, using splines, modifiers, Booleans, and NURBS modeling. You'll also learn to texture-map objects, light them with both direct and indirect illumination, place virtual cameras, render, and animate scenes.
