How to make chain link between two posts/ pillars

[joshihyd]

Hi,

 

I'm new born member in this family today. I looked into the several posts made in this forum. Very excellent!. I just started practicing max with building perspective views. I encountered the following troubles in texturing.

 

1. If foliage is used in photoshop editing then ( if we have to present the building in two or 3 directions/angles ) we have to repeat the same exercise in each of the jpeg file. Also placement of the same becomes not an easy task. What is the alternative?. 3d foliage adds more weight to the max file. Generally how this issue is to be tackled and where good foliage matererial is available.

 

2. How to make a chain link, connecting two posts/ pillars ( with a little sag at the middle ) in parks for fencing gardens or lawns using 3ds max.

 

thank you,

bye
