Youtube playlist: 3D Studio Max 2025 Tutorials
Phone stand images below!
So what’s the deal with the videos. Why now? Why not 10 years ago? And before my physical capabilities are completely gone it seemed like a fun project.
Basically, I have some free time… And I thought since I’ve been enjoying making little projects in 3D Studio Max here and there (sometimes it’s just to see if I can make it, other times it’s to see if I can print it) but either way, I’m just enjoying making stuff. So instead of just making stuff for me, I thought I’d turn some of these ideas and processes I’m thinking of into long form instructions or tutorials for YouTube. So Below is the most recent video tutorial.
I just wanted to go for something simple and on my desk was a phone stand. It’s pretty simple, it’s based on easy objects to create. Basically making a single plane and using the Shell modifier does almost 99% of the model. It basically does the heavy lifting. But a lot of people don’t know how these specific strategies work and how much time they’ll save you in the long run. You could Box model this, in fact I started box modeling this in the 8th episode, but in the 9th we switched to just starting with a simple one-dimensional plane.
