This tutorial shows us a simple method to export 3d meshes from 3ds max to an own Javascript file format. We save a 3d-Mesh including textures and UV mapping from 3ds max using MaxScript and load them into a lightweight WebGL-Engine.
In May 2011 I was commissioned by the Film Academy Ludwigsburg and Korion GmbH for a computer game to visualize a high-rez model of an explorer’s ship. The first thing I thought of this was the “Santa Maria” of Christopher Columbus, who reached America in 1492. For a game trailer I’ve rendered a ship and a few additional models for four CG sequences.
The freehand modeling of three-dimensional human faces with an usual 3D-animation software is still a big challenge for many CG Artists. A problem during the modeling process of real, human-like characters is the observance of certain natural proportions. An important role plays the famous Golden Ratio, which is difficult to be applied in many ways.
Unfortunately there is no Spline-Operator for Particle Flow in 3ds Max and Path-Follow SpaceWarp don’t work with the Force-Operator in PFlow. So we need a particle flow script to control the position of each particle with splines. Here is my solution of this problem.
After a long time with a lot of work I have now time for an own picture. A scene inspired by an Wallpaper, there are also plenty of children’s books about the lighthouse cat.
