Please
take a look at the figure of the Modify Panel.
Just below the name of the object selected,
we have a field named 'Modifier List'. It
is a list of modifiers applied to the currently
selected object. Since our teapot in this
tutorial has no modifier applied, it simply
shows 'Teapot'. We will learn more about modifiers
later.
Below the modifier's list,
we can see a 'Parameters'
roll out. Noticed the '-' symbol to the left
of the rollout title? Clicking on it, closes
the rollout. Clicking it again opens it. This
is the method used to expand and close all
roll outs in the right pane in 3D Studio MAX
( 3DS MAX ). Now lets look at what are the
parameters associated with our Teapot. Radius
is the first parameter. Enter a new value
say '100' to the 'Radius' text box and press
Enter. The teapot changes its size to the
new radius. You can enter what ever value
you want for radius into the field.The next
field is 'Segments'. It specifies how complex
the model is. Entering higher values makes
your model more refined, but complex. Experiment
with these settings. |
