Modeling a High-Resolution Tank in 3ds Max

This tutorial will show you how to model a Panzer III WW2 German tank in 3ds Max. This training teaches you how to create a high-polygon tank model using TurboSmooth. It also shows how to cut round holes in polygons. You will also learn how to make the tank tread, twist towing cable, tool mesh and bolts. To showcase the model's details, we will create a presentation material, set up a Sky Portal Light, as well as render the model's edges loops into wires. We will then render passes in mental Ray, including specular, ambient occlusion and alpha. We will then finish by creating a final Photoshop image from our render passes. Software requirements: 3dsMax 2013 and Photoshop CS6.
