One of our class assignments was to create a 3D tank from a single box. For this assignment, we had a tutorial to follow that showed us how to complete it. I do have to say that the completed tank was a disappointment to me. If I remember correctly, it was our 3rd 3D modeling project but I thought it was going to look better.
The first thing I did was create a new folder in my 3D Models folder. This is where I put my files of this assignment. The next thing I did was open up 3DS Max and pull up the tutorial on each of the desktops. This is where I actually started working on the 3D model. The first step was to create a box. This box is the foundation for the tank and is the only 3D object that I used. The next step was to divide each face into nine different sections. Then, I convert the box into an editable poly which is a very important part of 3D modeling. I selected the vertex option and selected 6 vertices on the top and bottom of one face of the box. I pulled these inward to create the appearance of the front of the tank's wheels. I did this again on the opposite face but instead of pulling in 6 vertices, I pulled in 3 vertices on the bottom for the back of the wheels. I turned to the polygon option, selected the middle section of the top face and extruded it up. Then, I created a smaller section inside of the extruded top and lifted that up. I lastly created a smaller trapezoid in the front side and extruded it out to make the barrel. In conclusion:
