Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 2 of 3 in the series Building The CAT 797B

Today we’re continuing the CAT 797 series by Sasa Posloncec where you’ll learn how to model the ridiculously huge Caterpillar 797B mining dump truck. Spanning three parts this series will give you an in-depth look at what it takes to create a fully realized vehicle model in 3D Studio Max using blueprints and photo reference. As Sasa walks you through the creation of each part, you’ll learn how to work with Max’s Edit Poly modifier, spline tools and much more!

The second part in the series will cover modeling the truck’s massive bed, fuel tank and finally the undercarriage section. Continue after the jump!
