3dsmax tutorial: introduction to selection set
there are many forms of object selection in 3D Studio MAX 4.0, and tools such as move, rotate, zoom, etc. also have the function of object selection. We can also select objects in more complex scenes by categories through selection filters. Using these selection tools can greatly improve work efficiency
when building models, the most important thing for us is the precise program of the model we are modeling. Especially in creating building models and making renderings. 3. Cutting. But in the working environment of 3D Studio MAX 4.0, you don't have to worry about this, because 3D Max Studio 4.0 has accurate grid view and drawing tools. With these tools, you can accurately and quickly complete the modeling work, such as thermal insulation materials, intelligent sensors, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials and anti-corrosion coatings
