counterfeitbacon Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Vancouver, WA Insane since: Apr 2002	posted 11-18-2002 05:14 Ok, I've been messing around in 3d-Studio MAX for a while, figuring out the interface (I decided on 3dsmax over LW7), and was wondering about objects (like those seen) here. How are these made, I was looking at Extrude and Spike features, but those don't seem to give me that kind of object. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on this topic, or give me some assistance.

reitveld Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Kansas City, MO USA Insane since: Sep 2001	posted 11-20-2002 04:01 Well that is some really cool stuff. I have noticed that if you take a mesh and start pulling verts around you will start to get something that looks like those shards of shapes. I find it mind numbing to have 200 points to move around but maybe I don't have the right technique.
