[g]Max Tutorials - Boolean and Lathe

[Mav]

In some free time while I was traveling, I put together a tutorial on one of the more useful features and one of the lesser known about modifiers, just thought I'd share. The first tutorial is a real simple demonstration of Booleans. The second tutorial isn't my doing, well at least not originally. I followed a tutorial on the gmax forums and the technique could be apllied to things here so I thought I share and I redid the tutorial. It is about the Lathe modifier, I've used it to model a few gun barrels and sure there is an easier way, but it's fun to experiment. Anyway you can download the tutorial here, if you want, it is in .rtf form. The basic explanation of Booleans is the one that most will find more useful. I'm also thinking about doing a lofting tutorial, but there is already a video lofting tutorial at the gmax forums and I still don't know how to really use it effectively yet.

 

Edit: I'm also trying to learn the ShapeMerge function, but we'll see if I have time.
