Assignment thoughts

A 30 second trailer for a James Bond film using 3ds max. I have a few ideas. Cars, guns, Martinis and girls. In a nutshell I suppose.

As I'm still learning 3ds max, I am going to try and learn the software, while also producing assets which may be useful in the final piece. Since cars are almost surely going to be included, why not start with a small component of a car? A wheel for example!

Firstly, the tyre is going to be a cylinder.


To round it out to be more tyre shaped, I selected the outer vertices of the tyre, excluding the ones on the edge and stretched them out.


Add a Mesh Smooth modifier, colour it black, and there is a basic and very smooth tyre!


Next, I added a cylinder inside the tyre and gave it a metallic material using the specular property.


Then to create some spokes, I selected alternate faces of a cylinder and extruded then bevelled them.



This was given the same material as the other metallic cylinder, and there is my tyre!
