chow choppe Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi everyone i posted this for autocad experts also but want to know the opinion of max users also...My question is how can i model a ramp like this see attached image i am also attaching the acad file along with it... i have no idea how to model this ramp... one diversion of the ramp goes down and one goes up to the fountain....level difference is from 0 to 4mtrs....ramp starts from 0 and fountain level is 4mtrs.

Ricardo Eloy Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hum... I guess you could draw 3d splines and have them renderable (max 7.5 and above let you choose between round and square sections). Might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow choppe Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 how to make its height increasing. please guys need more help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Doesn't Max have a Sweep function now? Also, I've seen stuff like this done before in Viz... go here: http://www.cityofboston.gov/bra/BRA_3D_Models/Index.html Scroll down and download the Bridges files.

chow choppe Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 but rick that means i will have to calculate the amount by which each vertex moves up than the preceding one...and also it depends on the number o fvertices i have.....looks very tedious that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJLynn Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 You're doing visuals, right? Not engineering. Just do it so it looks right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 yup, basically you could put in splines over the length of your major straightaways to mark your slope. then lift your curved spline to match. think of reality, if its a pain to build, most of the time its a pain to model. Lucky for us sometimes its easy to model stuff and hard to build, just doesn't always go both ways.... good luck and remember to thank the designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow choppe Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 that means it has to be done that way actually i am not that very good with modelling in mAX so i thought that maybe i am unaware of an easy method to do this. thanks man Andrew: sorry but i cudn't understand what were u trying to tell me with the help of that link Thanks anyway Don't mind more replies on this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
