Modeling a Chest of Drawers
Let??™s finally put some of your newfound knowledge into practice. If you skipped to this
section from the beginning of the chapter or even from the beginning of the book, look at
the previous sections in this chapter after you finish this model. Doing so will help fill in
some of the gaps in your CG education and better explain how or why you??™ve accomplished
some of this exercise??™s topics.
In this section, you will model a chest of drawers (or dresser) to develop your editablepoly
muscles. Why buy a chest of drawers when you can just make one in 3ds Max? Make
sure you make it large enough for all your socks.
Ready, Set, Reference!
You??™re so close to modeling something! You??™ll want to get some sort of reference for what
you??™re modeling. Study the photo in Figure 4.42 for a look at the desired result.
