How does Zaha Hadid model her designs?

[volkane]

Hello everybody,

I'd like to learn how to model zaha hadid's house design. How can I do that , Which modifiers or modelling technique should be used? Thanx in advanced.
I
want to improve myself in these modelling way.Here I post some of mine. I used bend-stretch-twist modifiers, what else should I use?
The first 2 images are the ones I created, The third one is ZAha's

That's an interesting way of doing it. I don't know specifically what they're using in Zaha's office, but I can tell you that stuff like this is usually done in NURBs modeling - you could do it in Max, but Rhino and Maya have better tool sets and those are what of these most people are using, in addition to Catia or Microstation for their CAD work. In Max I could see doing it in NURBS or polymodeling.

Can you explain poly modeling? I mean is there tuto for that?

pick up RHINO .... you wont regret it

In 3ds max ,e few minutes ago I tried nurbs, it's easy with it

The NURBS tools in 3ds max aren't very good - I'm being nice. Use Rhino and import it into max to render it. Complex curvature is difficult and time consuming in Max, whereas it's quick and easy in Rhino. Some people really like Maya, but it's very expensive.

Ok thanx guys, so you say that for modelling, it is the best to use rhino or maya? right? But to render 3ds max?

Right now I'm cheching the websites, Look what I saw in Rhino' site, look down to the picture, This is what I'm looking for, That kind of modelling!!!

Not wanting to contradict anyone but....
Sub D modeling and patch modeling in Max
would make it fairly easy to produce those renders.
In fact Max's patches can pretty much be used in
the same way as Poly modeling, lot of the same
functionality is available in both modeling sets.

Is there any tutorial for that in 3ds max?
