Making simple plant

Making simple plant

Pionier 2006-10-04 00:00 tutorial  > 3ds MAX  > modeling

Welcome everyone! I will explain how you can make a simple plant step by step (or as you can see picture by picture ;) ). I will just show you general method to model this plant.

As you can see below I started modeling from simple cylinder and after that I converted it to editable poly to make some modifications.





Roots are my favourite part of modeling process. I made some extrusions to make it. I used connect and cut tool, and after this i moved vertices to correct position.



When I'am sure that model is finished I added turbosmooth with iterations 1 or 2 (depend from quality you want).



It's time for sculpting, I used standard 3ds max tool - paint deformation.



That's all, here we have final render.

 
Now take a look at another example, this time it's plant with leafs I started with simple sphere...



Follow the instruction... :)



I used Particle Flow to deploy branches and leaves.



This image shows us how it looks after render:



Hope that you understad everything and this tutorial was helpfull.

Good luck and have fun!

SketchUp's Real-Time Rendering Moment: Lumion View, AI Render, and the End of the Export Workflow

SketchUp 2025–2026 has added native PBR materials, AI image generation, and real-time rendering plugins like Lumion View, letting archviz artists produce photorealistic images without leaving the viewport. This collapses the traditional design-to-render pipeline.
