Creating a 3D scene containing a windmill and landscape can be accomplished with 3D primitives in 3ds Max.
Some of the primitives covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Plane – A Plane 3D primitive will become the basis of your landscape.
- Cylinder – The Cylinder can be used as the basis for multiple objects in the scene.
- Sphere – The Sphere primitive will be edited into a hemispherical dome for the windmill roof.
- Box – A simple Box object will be used for the walkway railing posts.
Simple primitive geometry will become more complex as editing progresses while providing a workflow history that you can navigate in the Modify panel, stack view ...
