Hi guys!
I would like somebody to help me create a monitor a little like the one on billys site but diffrent of course. Could anybody please help me thru msn a little …pretty please…Of course i can give you something for exchange, but what?I don´t know you tell me…anyhelp would be apreciated:asleep:
miss:pretty please
program to use: 3d studio max, or if you know a good tutorial or anything would be good also.Here is the monitor
use loads of extrusions, wires (nurbs or extruded splines), details, global illumination, buttons, switches LEDs & everything…
I dont think you could find a tutorial covering the topic exactly but look for some kind of industrial 3d effects…
…
do you have a 3d app…?
Draw it out on paper first… get an idea of what you want it to look like…
then model it.

start with a rectangle shape (spline). Adjust your corner radius to your liking. Convert it to an editable poly. then in sub object mode select polygon. then down in object properties click extrude. Then extrude your object to give it depth. With the same poly selected click the bevel button in the object properties. bevel your object. Still with the same poly selected. Select extrude again this time move the poly inward.
The rest of the garnishments around your example are just extruded poly and splines and primitives added or subtracted with booleans.
that is the quick and dirty version but there are many ways to do this.
Thank you for the replyes!
Specially DDD
hey, post what you have done, id be happy to see some nice looking panels =)
Good idea!I will post today afer i have relaxed and eaten dinner:crazy:
you’re footer scares me 
it’s like your channeling some weird stuff at me

MM everyone has said it’s just extruding and, nurbs and things but it is confusing i usually tae a look on www.xenomorphic.net (or search google) and just look at his tuts he’s really good he’s got one on building a blue robot which can be manipulated for everything.
VA- Page Cannot Be Displayed. Hey VA it is as easy as extruding, if you look at her example and break it down visually it is all primitives. Just a few booleans and an exact replica of that can be created with lil effort.

I dunno about the monitor … I am a 3D NOOOB
As i promised here is the monitor i made, duh, thx to DDD, it was all about using simple obejects like billy, thx guys!
lookin good…you think you could post a wire frame view? I am just curious about vertices…May be ablt to give you a lil more advice.
add some led’s and your done.
what i did was, try diffrent kind of objects, and when i found something i liked i edited it a little and added to the monitor and cloned one to the other side. after doing this many times i grouped all the little pieces togheter with the main monitor as one big object- newbie style heh heh:thumb: but i think it was easyer this way,(-:
Cool, although you might’ve overused the wires?
I love it when someone grabs hold to thier program with both hands and sqeezes out a piece art work they were unsure of doing…that is so cool
rox that Monitor rox…:beam:
it has this borg thing going… I love it…
peace

the strangest thing with the wires was that it was a mistake, i was fooling around with some tubes i think when i changed some numbers and boom they looked like wires. The same day i was looking for a tutorial on how to make wires, so i fell in love with them so much that i hadto do more then one:pa: I tought i would never do something like this, i tought **** it is so hard that only billy can do it…i am just a newbie lol, so i was sad and tought heck…i will give it a try and with a very fine tip from ddd it happend. Thank you for the great feedback!
wow, that looks really nice. I’m completely new to 3dsm, can you please explain how you did that in easy terms. I have no idea how to get into an editable spline, and anything about polys. I’ve read most of the help files, but I still don’t get it. Any help is appreciated.
she is still rather new also. I suggest cruising some tut sites. www.3dbuzz.com www.cgtalk.com actually look at the sticky post at the top it has a bunch of links. I would help ya but your question is waaay to general and I do not feel like typing that much…
Hi there Sonic Flash,
Yes that´s true I am a newbie also, and making something like the monitor i created was very easy. what i recomment you do is get to know the diffrent objects in your 3d max, like rectangles,etc and what happend if you change the “settings” what will happen to your object. Go thru all the objects max has to offer. Then when you have some kind of an image of the objects, try putting them togheter and cloning and rendering to see what type of objects you construct, very easy. You just need a little imagination and a start+a end.
hope this helps you. And also 3dtotal has some very nice tutorials+don´t forget to ask for help when you need it also:thumb:
Thanks for being understanding, I guess everybody is a “newbie” at something at one point. One question, how do you extrude something to prepare for bevels and everything?
