| 3D Curtain / Drape Tutorial in 3D Studio Max
|
| |
 |
| |
| Modeling a 3D Curtain/Drape without using any 3D
Studio Max plugins. With the simple combinations, starting with a plane and a
few modifiers you can develop a whole lot of different Drapes. |
| |
 |
| |
| Start by drawing a simple Plane with the
parameters below |
| |
 |
| |
| MeshSelect Modifier plays an important part since
we only need to modify a particular portion of the Plane. Select by using the
subobject vertex option in the Meshselect |
| |
 |
| |
| Wave Modifier : Add the wave modifier and
you will see that it only affects the Selected Mesh vertices selected above .
Please note closely that you might need to modify you wave gizmo as you see in
the image below |
| |

|
| |
| Wave Modifier Values used |
| |
 |
| |
| Noise Modifier : We need to add the noise modifier
to get the shape flow naturally so we dont get precise geometry shape appearing.
With the Noise Modifier there is some distortion to make it give a more natural
look |
| |

|
| |
| Noise Modifier Parameters |
| |
 |
| |
| Add Another Meshselect and Select the top vertices
|
| |
 |
| |
| Adding another wave modifier with different values
displayed below |

 |
| |
| Adding Noise Modifier again |
| |
 |
| |
| Noise modifier Parameters |
| |
 |
| |
| MeshSmooth modifier added |
| |
 |
| |
| MeshSelect Modifier Added again and all the
vertices now selected |
| |
 |
| |
| FFD Box Modifier added with 4x10x2 values and
control point moved to get a nice feel |
| |
 |
| |
| You can see the final result with the minor FFD
control points modification we get see the Curtain fly in Air. |
