So as I mentioned before today I will discuss how my project is going but before I do I just want to say Autodesk 3ds max is so complicated. not in a bad way or anything but there is just so much that it would literally take me years to learn it. Anyways so for my project I am supposed to make a desert ravine.(I hope that's the correct desert.). The project must have different types of foliage and a town. Well I have completed the town. I have a few different types of building. The main tools I used for the building were Procutter and Proboolean. I used the Procutter to subtract and get unique building-like shapes. I don't really know how else to describe it. Just go take a look. Proboolean was used to add things to my building like text. In short the town itself took about a day to complete which was simple and easy. The terrain was a completely different story in terms of complexity. So at first I started off using contour lines and the terrain compound tool. I did not come out right so I switched to a different method. This method was using the displace modifier. The displace modifier made it look exactly how I wanted it, however scatter doesn't not work at all on the displace modifier. So I erased that method and returned to the terrain compound object method. Using the terrain from the displace modifier I kind of got a idea on where to put my contour lines. The second time around my terrain looked like it was supposed to. Right now I am working on adding plants and rocks to my scene. This is where I face problems because the scatter tool is not my friends. It seems easy to use but I just can't figure out how to scatter on just one smaller portion an object. Once I figure that out I'm good. I plan on finishing up tomorrow just in time to submit it on Thursday. I wish I could have finished before today so I could publish it but things did not work out that way. Ill try to post it next time.
