I have made a small barrel and I am abut ready to start adding textures after I finish the dimensions and get them correct. I am happy to learn this program, but since no-one in the class knows anything about 3D Studio Max I have to sort through all the problems myself.

I have finally put the mesh on the box, and I am now working on the environment to go with the box. I am moving slowly but surely. Yay!

I am still trying to apply the mesh to the box and it is not working like the book says. I am just a tad bit upset that the software doesn't work like the lesson tells me. Oh well I will probably figure it out sometime.

I am still working on that box I mentioned in my earlier blogs. But now I am going to put on the meshes, which will make it look like a packaged box in a video game. I am so excited to work with this program; I've wanted to learn how to make 3d models for games for awhile now. And now I finally get to do it!!!

I have received my book and have started on the first tutorial. I am currently making a box using 3ds max. I will be applying a mesh to it, which will make it look like a cardboard box. So I am slowly but surely learning how to use this program, although I think the book I have is for an last years edition of the software. I sometime have a hard time finding the menus and other things I need for this project.

I got my new 3ds Max Modeling for Games book. I am going to try to learn how to make some characters using the basics/advanced skills. I am excited to see what I will be able to make in 3ds Max!!! I am also thinking about using Photoshop CS6 to texture my creations that I make in 3ds.

Yesterday I learned how to make a cube and a teapot. I haven't learned much other than that; it's not the easiest program to learn. But with time and research I should be doing well, and that requires determination.

Today I will be teaching myself how to make other shapes and explore around the program and learn some of it's tools and how they work.

Today I am going to teach myself/research about how to make 3d models using 3D Studio MX. I am so excited I have been wanting to learn this stuff for quite some time now!!!! :D I have never worked with this program before so it will be a challenging process; I will just have to try and stay focused on the task that I have at hand.
