The Raybrig Honda NSX model, 3D Studio max 5

I am a graphic designer/illustrator, this model was made purely as a means to learn 3D modelling, in particular, mesh/box modeling, which I found was pretty much the same across all platforms and applications unlike NURBS or Patches.

When Worlds Collide

Planets. You just can’t resist blowing them up can you? The core elements of a science fiction blockbuster movie involve something smashing into another thing at great speed to result in some spectacular pyrotechnics, which, when we’re starting out in 3D, is something we love to recreate.
