3d studio max basketball tutorial

Here's a tip: Start with a sphere. Add a texture and a bump map and you're done!

Good luck!

It is the lines I need help with basically. A basketball has those grooved lines. I dont know how to do that. DO you have any idea on that?? thanks for the post

what i would do, is highlight those segments in polygon mode and then extrude them like -1 or -2

Xilia: I dont think it´s that easy because a sphere has all the poly rows ending in two points at the top and the bottom, so here the lines are going to fade in withd the more you get to the top or bottom (it´s different if you go around the equator). And with a geosphere you dont really have straight lines.

I would try a displacement map for the lines, the rest would be a noise for the diffuse.:beer:
