Modeling a rock (noobquestion)

[Penndragon]

That image is a bit small to see anything...

If you want to replicate a specific rock, you'll probably have to do the "primitive box modeling".

If you're talking about a rocky terrain, here might be a good tutorial: SMART TERRAIN (http://www.freespacefilms.com/menu.htm) (under Tutorials).

If you just want to make a rock, you may be interested in this mini tutorial: Creating Rocks (http://forum.cgarena.com/viewtopic.php?t=1274#8350).

Sorry, but I haven't used 3ds Max in a while and was never really proficient in it.

Is this going to be for a still or animation?

Hi,

i'd like to do a still and i was just wondering wheter there are some nice methods to model a rock you know...:) but it seems like there aren't...so i'll try it with the primitive boxmodeling.

Thanks!

the picture you submitted ressembles one of those landscape created in a Landscape generators like Bryce or the othe one whose name I can't remember.

@ oliveUK: maybe you mean: vue (http://www.vue6.com/ple) or terragen (http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/)

both are free for personal use ;)

oh that means they didn't model it manually...
max9 has got a terrainplugin which you can use to build terrains doesn't it ?
anybody knows dreamscape ? is it good ?
