Common model making instructions

Before starting today's study, insert a knowledge point , The geometry created in different views has different directions . If we create in the front view , It will be like this ：

Create models in different views , The plane of the generated mesh will also be different . And we can use shortcut keys to switch different views in the perspective view to create geometry in different directions .

Modifier

Let's first see the first line of the command panel ：

First, the first row of little suns , Yes create panel , You can create some geometry . The second row of quarter rings , Is the modification panel , Also called edit panel , Click this icon to see some parameters of the selected geometry problem ：

This is a cuboid , We can modify the length, width, height and segment in the parameter bar , For example, we will change the sub paragraphs to 2, Round the parameters to see the effect ：

stay max in , We create new geometry with randomly assigned colors , We need to modify it by ourselves . You can change the name and color of the model above the parameter bar ：

In this color bar, we can also turn off random color assignment ：

thus , The currently selected box and the geometry created later will be set to red .
Of course , We also need to deform this geometry , You need to select this geometry , Right click to convert to editable poly ：

There will be some changes ：

The content enclosed in the red box is hierarchy , From left to right, point by point 、 Press edge 、 By boundary 、 By polygon 、 Edit by element . First select click , Click the corresponding position , Then select the point you want to edit in the graph , Then press w For mobile ：

In this picture , We selected the top four points of the box to move . Of course, we can also rotate , Or choose another level , Try it yourself . One thing to note is , The box created in this way has no boundary , The boundary can be understood as a missing face , namely “ hole ”. Elements are mainly used for the separation of overlapping or contained two individuals .
The shortcut keys corresponding to these five levels are 1 To 5（ Not a keypad ）,6 Is the shortcut key of the object .

object

First of all, we need to understand what is an object , Object representation actually means model . When we select an object , There will be a line of prompt in the status box in the lower left corner ：

After selecting the level, we want to go back to selecting the object , You can press 6 recovery . When the shortcut key fails , We can find the keyboard shortcut override switch of the toolbar ：

command

Only this and nothing more , We have learned to adjust points , Line , Noodles , But that's not enough , We need to learn to add points to the model on this basis , Add lines , Add noodles and other operations , This process requires commands .
First, in the function area （ Also called graphite tool ） Click the modeling in the upper left corner （ Must be editable poly ）, You can see some commands that we need to understand ：

It should be noted that , Select different levels of editable poly on the command line , The content displayed here will be different .
Many of the above commands can also be found elsewhere , First lengthen the command bar on the right , To facilitate observation ：

Or right click on the model ：

Now let's summarize the commonly used commands ：

Connect

Connection is an operation between points , We select click in the hierarchy , Then press Ctrl Key plus select several points , Connect ：

If you add more points in the process , You can hold down the alt Conduct subtraction ; You can also use Crtil+i Reverse selection .
It should be noted that , Connections cannot be crossed , such as ：

These two red dots have been connected , We can't choose two blue dots to connect .

Squeeze out

We choose the level we need , Then select the part you want to extrude , Then select extrude , You can achieve this effect ：

When you experience it, you should pay attention that the up and down movement of the mouse and the left and right movement will have different extrusion effects .

shear

The cutting command here is different from the familiar cutting , It's more like paper cutting in life . Remember the connection just mentioned that there is no way to cross the line ？ Cutting can be forced to cross the line ：

A new point arises at the intersection , We can also pull it out ：

Of course , We can also cut it into broken lines , The intersection of the cut line and other lines will also produce new points , When you subtract a face , We can extrude this surface ：

This is the conventional use of cutting .

Chamfering

Chamfer is also called chamfer , If we need a dumbbell , You need to use the chamfer operation . First create a cylinder , Change its height segment to 3, The end section is 1, Number of edges for 8. Select the level as edge , Double click a line segment to select a whole closed curve ：

Then we click on the red line , Use the chamfer command , Slide the mouse up and down , This line will become two ：

If we zoom a line , It's going to be like this ：

Then cut corners , Drag this red line to change the radian ：

It can be seen that , Chamfer can be used to reduce radian , Make the model smoother .
But cut corners like this , If we need to add a lot of lines , It seems inefficient . To solve this problem, you can choose chamfer in the command bar on the right ：

The first blue box can control the distance between the two red lines , In the second box, you can select the number of lines cut , Control the smoothness of the model . After adjustment, click √ You can save and close .

Insert

Insert can only be used on faces , So we have to choose the face level first . After selecting the level , Select the face to be inserted , Right click to select Insert , Then you can hold down the mouse and drag ：

Inserting is actually inserting another face on the original face , After inserting, you can translate this face , Rotation and other operations ：

additional & Separate

Addition is to combine one or more models with another . We select an editable poly , Right click to select attach , Then select another editable model , These two models become one , The color will also be unified , When we choose one of them , Both models will be selected ：

Attached model , You can select the element level to move alone .
At the element level , Select the separation of the command line , You can separate the two models ：

The color of the model just separated is still the same .
This is the separation between the two models , We can also use area separation , First select the face level , Then select the face to be separated , Click to separate . After separation, we can exit the hierarchy and drag the face of the banking office out of the model ：

Of course , Face levels can also be added , However, we need to select all the faces that need to be attached .

Collapse

Collapse is to collapse a part of points and lines into a point . Select some points at the store level ：

Then choose collapse ：

The selected point just now becomes a . Insert a knowledge point here , When we select the edge level , It can move the line .
Of course , Online level , Collapse operation can be carried out at face level .

Target weld

Collapse operation is uncontrollable , It will only collapse the selection into a central point . Target welding is somewhat similar to collapse , Two points can be welded together according to the path . First, select a point under the point level , Then right click to select the target welding , Pull to another point ：

Target welding must have a route , If there is no connection between two points , The target welding cannot be carried out .

welding

Welding can merge points, lines and surfaces within a certain distance . Let's take the split face as an example . First, select the whole model according to the line level , Right click to select split （ You cannot use command line segmentation ）, Then select the face level , Separate one of the faces from the body ：

Then, under the point level, frame all points of the model and all points of the face to be welded , Then right-click , Click the small box in front of welding two words , Then select the appropriate welding threshold ：

Just connect them again . Because the two parts are far apart , Therefore, certain deformation also appeared after welding .

The bridge

Bridging can connect two lines . For example, we delete a part of aid ：

In the hollowed out part, we bridge the upper and lower lines at the online level ：

Bridging is a less common command , Understanding can .

texture of material

Material is what we need to add to the model , Press m Key to open the material editor ：

The initial interface is like this . Click mode , Select compact material editor ：

You will probably see such an interface . The six ball materials here are the same , The color can be adjusted in the red box . After adjustment , You can press and hold this ball , Drag onto the model to which you want to add material , Then release the left button ：

Of course , You can also adjust the material , Select the model to which you want to add materials , Then click to put the material to the specified object scene ：

And a little egg ： Because before adding materials , The color of lines and faces is the same , But adding materials will only change the color display of the face , Therefore, there is a gray red line , The situation of grey surface and green line .
You can also do this for shaders ： Store a picture on the desktop , Then pull it onto a shader ：

Now create a plane and add materials to it ：

If there are all swords on the plane , You can open the modifier , choice uvw an ：

Then open the uvw Editor , Select Map 1 in the upper right corner ：

Then click on the Red Square and white cube in the lower left corner , Then a grid will appear in the screen , Adjust the mesh to a plane with only one sword .
In order to display more stickers and pictures , Let's check the resolution of the picture ：

Put this 239（ wide ）*667（ high ） Fill in the newly created plane attribute , And change the segment of the plane to 1：

Then we put this picture under （0,0,0） spot . Press w key , Then box this picture , stay max Find x,y and z, And set them to zero ：

If we need to make the picture stand up , Can press e And frame the picture , Then adjust x The parameters for 90（ Readers can set it by themselves ）. If the grid gets in the way , Can press g close .
Next we put the sword along y Move a distance axially , Then select the object , Right click the point object properties ：

Click this to display the frozen object in gray , Click ok , Then right click the sword , Choose to freeze the current object , Frozen patches . In order to avoid trouble caused by wrong selection when we operate later .
Okay , That's all for today . We mainly introduced max Complete some basic commands and specific operations of a model . Later, an article will be published to make a model of this sword , I will also use a lot of the instructions introduced today . After reading, please be familiar with these instructions .
