Final Product What You'll Be Creating

In this tutorial we’ll be taking a look at how we can use real-world values to create a realistic pool table model in 3dsMax.

During this tutorial we’ll be looking at how to use the Symmetry modifier to speed up your workflow, as well as how to use the Bend modifier, coupled with some basic commands like Insetting and Bridging, to create a very unique design in a matter of minutes. You will also learn how to cut render times by ‘reverse-engineering’ Max’s Pro Materials.

My name is Isaias Baez, a Computer Graphics student in Germany. I started 3D modeling/ animation as a hobby, learned lots of things from the internet, and then finally made the choice to study it full time. Most of my work is focused on modeling, but recently my point of focus is changing to animation. I love guitars which might be reflected in my tutorials, and besides playing music, PC gaming is another one of my hobbies. I will try to pass on the tips and tricks that I have learned along the way through my tutorials, and I really hope to be of help to you guys!
