Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 10 of 10 in the series 'Mini Semi Truck'

Today we finally come to the 10th and final modeling part of the Mini Semi Truck tutorial series (high five!) In the final day, we’ll complete the truck by modeling the detailed rims and tires. Once we have a single tire complete, we’ll clone it and make some modifications to create a second less detailed rim for the truck’s duel tire setup.

The ‘Mini Semi Truck’ tutorial series focuses on the creation of a stylized high poly vehicle in 3d Studio Max. The goal of this series is to teach you quick and effective techniques for creating high resolution sub-division surfaces. These universally transferable techniques can be applied to not only vehicle creation, but most other modeling projects as well.

    Thanks a lot for your effort on this tutorial. It took a bit long but i think i’ve learnt a lot about modelling high poly objects, so thanks again for your time and good luck on future projects, i’ll stick on those to keep improving my skills.

  • Steven Shearing

    An truly amazing tutorial I’m 2 thirds of the way in now and looking forward to the finished model, it feels like a training series expect it has no texturing,rendering and so on.
    It would be super if you did do texturing and rendering it because then it would be training series ;).

    Thank you very much.

  • ali

    ty soooooooooooooooooooo much guyz. if u can plz make human anatomy tutorial with 3d max.

  • farid

    very thanx for this tutorial please make an other tuts for UV mapping unwrap this truck (texturing)

    thanks a lot again

  • mirror

    it’s very2.. awesome. but how to render this car.

  • Grey-Robin

    Just finished this and Wow! What a mammoth tutorial. I learned volumes, mind utterly blown. Can’t find any other sections though, you mentioned textures and rendering in the first video. Ran out of time/energy for the project? I’m going to take my model and make a low poly version and try to bake out some of the details for a game type environment. It’ll be another good learning exercise, shame you didn’t cover that stage though, it would of made this a very well rounded tutorial. Anyway! Much thanks and appreciation being sent your way. If the other tutorials here are of this quality you just earned a member! Cheers.
