Pistol & silencer

I then Selected Individual shapes and modfied them with 'smooth' from the modify list

First Model - Pistol

Next I then added another cylinder to make the barrel. this extended onto the sight which is a pyramid edited using the 'bend' modify tool under the modify list. The cartridge was then added usin the box shape. I then converted this into a editable poly and added some shape to it.

First Modell - Pistol with silencer

The barrell was first Created, along with the silencer, to create the silencer I produced to cylinders. One slightly larger in radius alligned on top of one another. I then converted the Larger Cylinder to an editable Poly, Ensuring i had plenty of segments to work with. I then selected the edge option and deleted rows from the large cylinder so the smaller one showed through. This gave the silencer alot of shape.

freezing an image in 3DS

Freezing Images in 3DS max Prooves to be a very handy tool. This alows you to fit and image and co-ordinate where about you would like to place it and can determine how about the image is placed within the plane. This is a really useful way of using detailed plans to recreate models. It makes creating models a whole lot more easier.

Loft tool

Using the loft tool was a useful way of converting lines into shapes. This was achieved by first During a Line of the sort of shape you want to produce, you then draw a seperate shape, this shape will act as the shape of your line. In this case it was a circle. The shape ended out to be more rounded.
