Example tutorial of 3DMAX: making beautiful LOGO with 3DMAX

This is a very simple LOGO production. If you are a 3D master, you don't need to read it. This is just a textbook for beginners.

1. First, make the logo graphics in FLASH, and then generate the AI file.

Figure 1

2. Input the generated AI file in 3DMAX.

Figure 2

3. Rotate 90 degrees so that it is parallel to the front view.

Figure 3

　　4、 mouse Right click to make the graph editable.

Figure 4

5. Open the modification panel, enter the vertex modification, and then weld the unclosed points with the Ctrl key. (The method of observing whether the welding is well done is to move the vertex of the "Tian" shape. If it is disconnected, it means that the welding is not well done.)

6. Enter the Modify drop-down menu and select the chamfer tool.

Figure 6

7. Adjust the chamfer value. If the figure is wrong, it may be because the curve has vertices that are not welded well.

Figure 7

8. Make a new circular curve.

Figure 8

9. Change the step value to 20, use the move and zoom tools to adjust the position, and then right-click to make the graph become an editable curve.

Figure 9

10. Use the Offset tool in the Modify Curve tool to make two curves. At the same time, separate the middle curve, so that the middle line becomes a separate curve. This curve will be used as a path.

11. Use the method of chamfering the two dependent curves to make the shape of the visible face. The chamfer value does not need to be set.

12. Make a spherical object.

Figure 12

13. Follow the steps shown in the figure.

Figure 13

14. Click "Add Path" first, and then the curve separated at Point 1. OK The path animation is complete.
