Week 2 - Use of Lathe and Shape Editing, Intro into Bitmapping

Use of Lathe and Shape Editing, Intro into Bitmapping

Here is a chess piece that I made with the aid of Adobe Illustrator. Using Illustrator I imported a 2D image of the chess piece (only as half an image) then imported into 3D Max to turn it into a 3D image.
I found this progress has assisted me with developing better skills in 3D modelling.

Above is a tank that was design from importing a 2D image of the structure of a tank in line format. The tank was then constructed using shapes and editing these shapes.
