What would be nice is if someone could make a step by step write up of a start to finish Grill that would have pictures, or just to do a better video that better explains what is actually going on. Dont get me wrong , for someone who has even a little knowledge of 3ds max I am sure the current tutorials make loads of sense and even from the current ones I have learned a few new things but I am still struggling and feel like I am missing a step or not doing something I should be.
A few of the things I feel that should be covered are things like how to set a proper reference image. Now this was something that was described in the grill tutorial but even with my speakers maxed out I could barely hear a word they were saying. Whenever I make my plane to drop image into I then cannot figure out how to lock the zoom/pan option and whenever I zoom in the grid changes as well.
my next issue is that when I go to create the line around my grill I cannot seem to get it smooth at all, I am also using bezier and bezier corner like showed in the videos.
as for wizzys way of making grills, I have tried it but find it even more difficult then using the lines
I have never made it farther then this so Currently that is all the issues I am having. hope someone can help me out on this because Id love to add some stuff and help contribute.
