4. |  Poly-Modeling with 3ds MaxThinking Outside of the Box By: Todd Daniele Publisher: Focal Press Publication Date: 03-OCT-2008 Insert Date: 26-MAR-2009 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Poly-Modeling with 3ds MaxThinking Outside of the Box Polymodeling is a modeling technique used in 3d modeling. Unlike
box modeling, or other forms of modeling where you start out with a
basic form or primitive object that determines the mass of an
object, artists can use the polygon (the basic building block of
all of the primitives available in 3ds Max). This approach allows
for more control over the flow, placement and detail of the meshes
that are built. Placement of vertices/points, edges and all other
sub-elements that build our models is determined by the user,
rather than pre-determined by a computer generated primitive.
