Modeling a Classic Mirror – 3ds Max Tutorial

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Austris / This entry was posted in 3Ds MAX Tutorials. Bookmark the permalink.

Last time I asked you to decide between the chandelier, mirror and dining table from the ‘Nordic Light’ scene for my next video tutorial.
Since most of you picked the MIRROR, here is the tutorial video.

Even though this type of carved furniture might seem too hard to model in 3Ds Max,
modeling it is actually pretty simple, once you know the basic process.

As usual, Edit Poly + Turbosmooth is your friend and you just have to make the whole thing piece-by-piece. Add some nice, old gold material when you’re finished, and hang it up in your scene!

So here it is, enjoy!

Oh, and here is the reference image

    Thanks for the tutorial! Would love to see how you’d texture this as it’s such a rich, gold texture.

    Hy Austris, which tool did you use to move around in the viewport? Mouse 3d or tablet?

      Hi,
      I use mouse most of the time. I switch to tablet when my RSI is acting up.
